What people are saying about Rio de Janeiro
Overall rating
What a fantastic tour. This is a can't miss tour for anyone coming to Rio. Our small and intimate tour of six was perfect for learning about this fantastic favela that has captured the immigration of everyone from Michael Jackson to Beyonce. More importantly it provides an opportunity to better understand how 20% of Cariocas live. our guide Pedro was fantastic stopping and talking with anyone and everyone while making us feel welcome in a part of Rio that is often misunderstood.
Good trip - more driving tour than hiking, but great guide and beautiful surroundings. Weather and views did not really turn up but still really enjoyed it
Really good day - our guide Kiko was excellent, and the trip did all the things I wanted to see, along with a great lunch. Would recommend
Brilliant day packed with interesting things to do and see. Very informative, helpful and fun x
Great fun, fabulous teacher, very sweaty. Would definitely recommend
