      The tour guides were nice. I was one of the only english speaking people on the tour and there was only 1 tour guide that spoke English. We started by taking moto taxis up to a restaurant and then we sat at the restaurant for about an hour. The tour guide gave me maybe 3-4 sentences about the favela there. We then went down to an art studio and walked around for a bit, stopped at a school, and then walked down the hill. I was really hoping this would be much more educational, explaining the culture, history, and experiences of people living in the favela. It really fell flat for me. I didn't feel like I learned anything. If you just want a tour to take you through the favela, this is the tour for you. If you want something more educational, I would choose a different tour.
