    Our Guide was very friendly and could Tell us a lot about Rio. One of Our groupmembers had some Problems To hike But our guide kept an Eye on her and she also made it up To The top. It was exhausting But pretty easy. The view on top of The Hill worth it. I highly recommend this Tour.

    Very nice trip with good guides!

    The tour to tijuca forest and all the way to Pedra Bonita was excellent! I got to enjoy the nature during the walk and had an interesting history lesson and other discussion about Brazil and Rio. The only downside for me was the easiness of the tour but that was partly my own fault because I chose the trip which demand level was "easy". After the trip I wanted to make another visit to the forest by myself but two different tourist infos adviced that either I should rent a car to get to the forest or book a tour. Renting a car in Rio was not an option (after I had seen the usual driving style in Rio) and all the Jungle Me tours were already booked so I was left without another trip. I would highly recommend the Jungle Me -tours to all Rio visitors and suggest booking in advance!
