3 Hour Rocinha Favela Walking Tour with a Local Guide

Raluca_D, Oct 2026

Great experience, I truly recommend!

An amazing and authentic experience! Our guide, Macedo, who lives in Rocinha, gave us a unique insight into everyday life in the favela, sharing his personal experiences and helping us understand the community beyond the usual tourist perspective. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about showing us his home with pride and honesty. One of the absolute highlights was the unique and truly WOW experience of riding scooters all the way from the bottom to the top of the favela! The scooter drivers were incredibly skilled, navigating the narrow, steep, and busy streets with amazing confidence and precision. It was an unforgettable adventure in itself! The tour was very interesting, eye-opening, and gave us a much deeper understanding of the local culture and people. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio de Janeiro who wants an authentic experience with a local guide!

Susan_R, Oct 2026

Exploring the Brazilian rain forest with many friends from all over the world.

The experience is wonderful through the jungle behind Rio de Janeiro. Make sure you bring a rain poncho and wear sturdy shoes. Eric, the English speaking guide was terrific and very knowledgeable. The driver was fantastic at stopping to see a monkey or sloth - he had a good eagle eye! Highly recommend to get behind the hustle and bustle of Rio and enjoy the tranquility of the rain forest.

Well worth the money and time

Rio is a rich city with a great deal of history, culture, and political diversity. The tour speaks to all of it in a day. You will see and hear about all of this in the day you're with the guide. Gustavo was excellent, well versed, and his passion about the city showed. It is an excellent way to get to know Rio just a bit better.

Explore the Best of Tijuca Forest – Hike to Peaks, Caves & Falls

Thomas_C, Oct 2026

Stunning and well organised

A brilliant way to see the best of the park. The first hike was honestly so beautiful and the rewarding view at the top was a highlight of my whole trip. The activity went well over 5 hours though, not sure if that’s because we had too much to fit in, or the group spent too long taking photos at each destination… but something to plan for in case you have something organised for the afternoon.

Due to large crowds, one should have a tour guide like Ana Maria to make the most of their time. She navigated the crowds with ease! Ana Maria and the driver, Valdemar, were punctual picking us up. they continued the punctuality as he dropped us off and picked us up at the different locations.

Heinz_H, Sept 2026

Excellent tour, I would definitely recommend doing it. Very nice visit to all three sites with ample time to spend at each, particularly Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf. Our tour guide Jonas was great! He gave a nice history of Rio while also giving us information on the sites we were visiting. My wife and I both feel the tour was well worth our time!

Micah_K, Jul 2026

I really enjoyed the...

I really enjoyed the water. The dock where you have to pay admission t’was very crowded and a bit of chaos. I did not l’enjot thay. It gave me anxiety. However, I’m told it is not always like that. Once on board it was much better. The beach we stopped at was very enjoyable. The slides of the back of the boat are fun.

Full Day in Rio: Christ by Train, Sugarloaf, Selarón & Barbecue

Kathy_R, Jul 2026

Perfect Day in RIO

The sites were beautiful. The food was delicious and plentiful. The guide was kind and took good care of us. The only difficulty was understanding her English. Every Viator tour that I have taken has been worth every cent. Thank you and thank you for your flexibility. I originally scheduled our tour on the wrong day when we were not even in RIO. You were so kind to switch it to the correct week. I would recommend Viator and every one of your tours!

Perfect Customized Rio Tour with an Amazing Guide

We had a wonderful experience touring Rio with Isaac! He customized the day around exactly what we wanted, including Christ the Redeemer, lunch by the bay, and beautiful stops throughout the city. When my husband wasn’t feeling well, Isaac was incredibly flexible and even helped us make an impromptu pharmacy stop, translating for us and adjusting the itinerary with ease. We felt safe, cared for, and never rushed. We enjoyed the tour so much that we would absolutely book with Isaac again when we return to Rio. Highly recommend!

Best Seats in the House

The show, especially the 2nd half was entertaining and musically educational about all of Brazil. First rate dancing and singing all in a fun way. Great visuals. And the food isn’t bad either especially if you factor in the # of folks being fed. Our aviator tickets were in the front row and centered. They cost less thru aviator than I would’ve paid via our tour group too. Excellent job aviator.
