Must do tour!

I had an excellent experience on the Dois Irmãos (Two Brothers Hill) tour with Alessandra. It was one of the absolute highlights of my time in Rio. The entire experience was smooth, well organized, and showed me a side of the city that many people never see. The hike itself was enjoyable and rewarding, with incredible scenery the whole way up. Reaching the top of Dois Irmãos was unforgettable — the panoramic view over Rio, the beaches, mountains, and coastline is simply spectacular and one of the best in the city. Alessandra made the tour exceptional. She was professional, warm, and highly knowledgeable, making everyone feel comfortable from the beginning. She shared fascinating insights about the area, kept a great pace, and made the experience feel authentic and personal.

Inexperienced hiker, great experience!

My friends randomly decided to go for a hike during our stay in Rio. I decided to join but spent the whole time extremely nervous, I'm not physically active, have asthma and forgot my pump, and have some fear of heights. Alessandra was super accommodating our entire time. She gave tips on how to best exert my energy, was very generous with our breaks while also giving us some great historical context on Rio and communities in general. By the time we reached the top I was exhausted and tired, but felt amazing having accomplished this feat. Even up top Alessandras motivating demeanor convinced me to join the group closer to the summit where you can best take pictures. I was scared the whole time, but honestly she made me feel very safe and worked within my boundaries. I really enjoyed the entire experience, if I were to come back to Rio I would definitely want to experience another hiking trail with Alessandra! Adding to this she's an excellent photographer and took pictures the entire time we were going up!

Dear AT thank you so much for such an amazing review! One of the most important things for me (and for my team) is to make our guests feel safe and not hurry, ever! I know how important is to follow everyone's pace and dont rush. I knew how important that was to you, and it was a pleasure to help! I truely believe that by encouraging and not rushing the group I can also make you have FUN. Again, thanks a lot for your detailed report and for the beautiful compliments! I will be waiting for you in Rio for the next hike :-)

Breath-taking sunset with incredible views to Rio de Janeiro

We were excited to do a hike in Rio, as Alessandra hype it up so much... And it was for a reason! The sunset from dois Irmãos was one of the best views I've ever had. The moto-taxi through the favela, all the pictures she helps to take and her humor makes this trip a memorable one !! Really recommended!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this wonderful review! Its always a pleasure to show the beauties of our city to good vibe people like you. Hope to see you back in Rio sooner then later. Cheers! Alli

The views you will always remember

This hike has been amazing, not only because of the wonderful views but also because you spend an incredible time with great people. Alessandra is one of those people with whom you have a great time hiking. She also explained to us the history of the city and you see the landscape with a different perspective 😊 Thank you very much Alessandra for the experience!!!

Amazing Views and perfect guide

Amazing views and the most warming and interesting guide. Alessandra is proficient in English and Spanish, which explains every curious detail about the location history and local fauna & Flora, a part from being a typical "carioca" so it was perfect to sense of the cultural aspects if the city as well. Thanks Ale!

Operator response

Thank you so much! It was a pleasure to be your host in Rio and I hope we can meet again in the near future!

Beautiful views and Robinson was a great tour guide

Robinson was such a great tour guide, we met at 7am and got the motor taxis up to the start of the trail (very glad we went with a guide, felt safe with him!) During the walk Robinson spotted lots of monkeys and also offered to take photos and videos. He’s from the area so very knowledgeable and good company. As we went early we basically had the whole mountain to ourselves, would recommend going at that time! It’s worth clarifying with the organiser if the motor taxi and entrance etc is included before you book, so you know to have cash or not.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your feedback! I am happy to hear Robinson was great. A great team of tour guides is the most important thing to make our guest feel at ease and safe. I will also write on the description that the tickets and mototaxi are not included. Thanks for that observation. Warm regards from Rio
