"Surreal the morning journey"

It was an amazing experience, especially due to the schedule, 3:30 in the morning. The guide, Michel, was super attentive. Showed that you really know the area. Sympathetic, always showing the best on the track and how to proceed, especially for me who am not so experienced in the track. Congratulations Michel. He became my friend.

Unique experience in the Telegraph Stone.

The professional, Michel has been committed from the beginning. He was super friendly and attentive, managing to leave me at ease throughout the tour, in addition to being an excellent guide and photographer. So, I recommend Enterprise to all those who want to get this amazing experience; You can hire without fear.

Waiting time for Pic😭😭😭

It’s a tough hike. Unless ur fit. But a nice one through the jungle. No water along, except one stop and none at the top. Average wait for pic is 1.5-2 hours.

Operator response

Hi, About the hiking you know before how will be the dificul and we said to bring a 1.5L of water, so when you bring just a little bottle of less than 500ml its hard to help you to aldo I help with everthing you need. About the photos, you said takes 2hours to recive the photos? We delivere until 5 days and we told you abou it how the photos work. A lot of experience evan has a photo inclued. So its not fair to said those 2 things and give a 3 stars.

Unfortunate that our tour was canceled

We chose the 3:00 a.m. hike with Michel and we're ready to go on time. It's unfortunate that he contacted us and said that his car was stolen, so we were not able to do the hike that we had planned so many months for. It was also too late to book any other hikes at that same time for telegraph though because of the last minute cancellation. It was also our last day in Rio so we were very sad that we were not able to do this beautiful hike that we had planned for.

Unfortunately it really happened. I had never been in this situation before and I apologize. Of course, as we talked on the phone, I was trying to find some other reliable guide so I could take you, but it was complicated at 3am to find someone. I hope that if you ever return to Rio de Janeiro, I can guide you.

Best tour in Rio

Marcelo picked me up at my hotel on time, a little after 3am. We were the 2nd group to arrive at the stone and experience a beautiful sunrise. No lines...

Amazing guide- highly recommend

I went on this hike on my birthday while visiting Rio, not only was Michel a very informative guide, but kept encouraging me to keep going and taught me breathing techniques to get through (I do not hike regularly). He was consistently positive and always kept checking in to make sure I was doing alright. When reaching the top, he suggested extremely creative poses, which is super fun at this site! I would absolutely want to book Michel for future visits to Rio and highly recommend to others. He truly goes above and beyond to make sure you feel comfortable, safe, and have a great experience.

All excellent!

We're not athletes and I was very doubtful about making the telegraph track. But the desire to know this incredible place combined with all the tranquility and confidence that Michel passed through us were fundamental to launch us on this adventure. We love everything! Michel was punctual, attentive, careful and proved to be an excellent professional by passing various information on the track and the whole environment. And still have all the patience to take wonderful photos that only the gaze of a photographer produces. Great cost x benefit Breathtaking landscape. All excellent!

A MELHOR EXPERIENCIA

It was absolutely great, Michel is just the ideal guide. Despite the rain, we went upstairs and were allowed to admire the sun rising before anyone else. The 3:00 a.m. wake-up call was worth it. If I had to do it again, I would do it without hesitation. The photos are excellent too. Can't wait to make a next outing with Michel!
