What are people saying about Rio de Janeiro

Community LOVE!!!! ❤️
The owner of the company is a tour guide along with two other colleagues. Thing that impressed me is they live in Santa Marta favela and they know every corner of it. They are knowledgeable and respected in the area. The kids LOVE them and that already says enough about them. ❤️
I will definitely come back, because it’s not only a sacred place because of King of Pop, but because of the community that lives there.
Tour guide had answers for all my questions, from the time favela was built all until today.
Beautiful, local tour!
We were walking all the way down, dancing to Michael’s aongs, recreating his moves through favela, even though we used a cable car to take us up.
Tour last 2-3h. Local lady is making the best caipirinhas and you can pay by cash or card.
SEE YOU SOON AGAIN!!!! 🍀🙌🏻❤️!

Had a great experience...
Had a great experience with our tour guide Malu. The whole experience felt very authentic starting with hopping on a local public transport van that the locals use daily to enter and leave Rocinho. Our tour guide provided lots of insight and even invited us to her own home so we can see what it’s like to live in the favela. We took this tour during the Brazil World Cup match which turned out to be an AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Our group and I were able to watch Brazil take the win with locals out in the streets of the favela. Would definitely recommend.

Incredible Trip
Had an amazing experience this morning and would highly recommend this trip. Unforgettable driving up the Favela at 4am on the back of a motorbike. (Just make sure you meet your guide before getting on a bike) our guide Derek was great. Communicated well before and was very reassuring. The hike required a bit of effort but was well worth it for the incredible views over Rio while the sun rose.

Great hike, even greater views!
This was a physically challenging hike, with elements of scrambling and rope-assisted climbing, but that all made it more enjoyable, and the views from the top made every step worth it. Expert guidance from Edu was critical to help us navigate our way up, and he took amazing individual photos and videos of us all once we were up there. If you're looking for something physically challenging with a great payoff, this is it!

The team made this...
The team made this experience absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, everyone was warm, welcoming, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about Rio de Janeiro and Brazil as a whole.
Despite my flight delay, they went above and beyond to accommodate us, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Their professionalism and genuine hospitality made all the difference.
Without question, I’ll be using this service again. In fact, if I ever return to Brazil, this is the only company I’ll book with. Thank you for making this trip so special—I can’t wait to come back and see how much you’ve grown by then!

Excellent tour and great organization!
We booked this tour at short notice and received excellent support from the provider. All our questions were answered clearly in advance, including what was possible and what was not, which made the planning very easy and reliable.
Our guide Victoria and the driver were both excellent. They listened to our wishes and organized the day in a way that allowed us to see everything we wanted without unnecessary stress. We received a lot of interesting information, had many nice conversations and felt very well taken care of throughout the day.
Overall, it was a really great experience with a very good tour operator, an excellent guide and a great driver. The value for money was also very good. I would book this tour again anytime and can recommend this provider without hesitation.

Great accessible private tour with Higor!
We had a fantastic private tour with Higor. My mother uses a walker, and Higor did an excellent job finding accessible bathrooms, navigating step-free access, and making sure she was comfortable and safe.
We saw Christ the Redeemer, an interesting Brutalist-style church, the bottom of the Selaron Steps, and took the cable car to Sugarloaf Mountain. Our lunch stop was delicious too.
My only regret was that I didn’t think to ask for a stop at the Holocaust Memorial! We will go another day.
Notes for anyone with access needs:
The Sugarloaf Mountain cable car was set up well for accessibility, aside from a small gap between the platform and the cable car. There was an extensive network of lifts providing step-free access.
Christ the Redeemer was more challenging. There were steep inclines and broken-down escalators. Even worse, people on the small viewing platform repeatedly pushed my mother’s walker, and one woman even shouted at my mother to move it so she could take a photo.
Overall, it was a wonderful tour around Rio!

Timely and very convenient
It was a great way to get started in Rio. Flavio was a wonderful guide and person and showed us around the important sights of Rio. She explained the culture and the geography of the city and we were able to see the spots we had marked out with ample time. I am sure we would use these tour services again!

First time, future client
Booking was very easy, both the airport and other pickup. Both Carla and Larissa were quick to reply and were great at making sure I was up to date on my bookings. The drivers were respectful, professional and on time. I had issues with my luggage not arriving in Brazil and I took longer than expected, the driver was made aware and waited longer than needed which as a single traveler I REALLY appreciated. Will be using this company again in my future visits.

Amazing futbol experience
Great experience. Everything from transportation to getting in and out of the stadium was fantastic. Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable sharing facts along the way. This is a great way for tourists to experience the local tradition of a futbol game.

Went above and beyond
Great friendly driver! I arrived during carnaval at which a lot of blocos were going on. We were stuck in traffic for over an hour at which we decided to park somewhere and he escorted me the rest of the way to my airbnb! We must’ve walked 6 blocks or so. I felt he went above and beyond to help me traveling solo and as a woman. He carried my luggage the whole walk, too. Very grateful for him and will def book him again next time I’m in town. Thank you!

Very beautiful scenery....
Wonderful and hitch free experience. Our tour guide, Eduardo, was warm and patient. Took his time to provide relevant history at the sites as well as during transfers.
Very beautiful scenery at Christ the Redeemer statue, got to have a view of the city.👌. .Oh and then the view of the city from mirante is breathtaking, from here you see sugar loaf and the beach (Copacabana I guess), you’d also sight the statue and appreciate the height (again) from sea level. We were there on a Sunday morning in September and from what we gathered, this was good timing as there’s less traffic. However to enjoy the tour fully, it’s advisable to wear comfortable and warm clothes, also take a jacket cos it may be cold as you ascend
