A great experience
It was an intresting experience, safety, to a famous favela Rocinha. Our local guide, Johnny, grew up in the favela and knew all the best location. Becouse of late time scheduled tour (after 17), we couldnt see any capoeira dance, but next time one must think about that also. I strongly recomand it, its giving you the possibility to think out of the box.

This was a great tour. We...
This was a great tour. We had Ray as our guide, and I would go again in a heartbeat. I learned a lot from Ray and also from looking around while walking. My only regret is losing all my photos from that day. If anyone else toured Rocinha with Ray the last week of July 2026 and would be willing to share some photos with me, please contact me (kejordan@gmail.com)!

One of the best tours I’ve ever done! 🙌
Exploring Rocinha with Favela Brothers was an unforgettable experience — safe, super informative, and so much fun. José made the whole tour engaging and authentic from start to finish. Highly recommend if you’re in Rio! 🇧🇷✨

The best experience we had in Rio. Our guide Daniel was brilliant didn’t rush us about and gave us time to enjoy all the different experiences our highlight was getting the chance to play football within the favela which we will never forget

Unforgettable trip in Rio!
Best trip in Rio. Our guide is from the favela community and he speaks excellent English, very passionate, engaging and knowledgeable. I like how the tour is organized and designed. We spend time with children who teach us capoeira, and boys who can play football with us. I really enjoy it and I hope everyone can come and support the community.

A great experience
Clear communication from tour orgnaisers. Met our guide Ray and travelled to the favela on a minibus.
Ray was great throughout the whole tour, really friendly, answered loads of questions and gave us lots of info about the Favela and the people within. We had some great opportunities for photos and even got to play basketball against the locals.
We felt safe throughout the tour, would definitely recommend.

When to visit

Some tours donate a portion of proceeds to Rochina nonprofits or employ local tour guides to give back to the community.
A guided tour led by a local is the safest way to visit Rocinha.
Wear comfortable, closed-toe shoes suitable for walking on uneven surfaces, or book a tour by bike or vehicle to stay off your feet.
Favelas provide a stark contrast to Rio’s ritzy neighborhoods, such as Ipanema, and an educational tour of Rocinha can offer a well-rounded understanding of the city's varying socioeconomic environments.
