A Great Day

Cindy_B, Nov 2025

This was a wonderful excursion. Our guides went above and beyond to give us a memorable experience. Highly recommend!

Good guide but not much to see

Dave_R, Nov 2025

Eliel, our guide, was very good. The “jeep” is a Chevrolet truck but was good. The forest is in the city. We saw no animals or birds. We could not go into the visitor center or the Chinese palace. The short waterfall was scenic. We were unable to go to the taller waterfall. The drive back through the beach areas was the highlight.

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hello there. Some parts of the park were closed because we had a sudden storm alert and when that happens the park closes some parts without notice. About the animals it is a natural habitat so we cannot guarantee that animals can be seen. But you forgot to mention that you saw the big rodents we call capybaras at the lagoon. But thank you for your review

It’s an open air Jeep so...

Nancy_W, Nov 2025

It’s an open air Jeep so best to remind clients to bring some protection from sun or rain or winds. Best thing about this tour was some view points, looking down onto the city and surrounding area.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

yes its an open vehicle and that is mentioned on the tour page but your tittle seems like you were dissapointed with that fact, sorry to hear that and thank you for the review

Good jeep tour, not sure if the hike to Pedra Bonita is always included

Robin_R, Apr 2025

Our jeep tour was great, and the guide was excellent. The Organizer told us (via WhatsApp) the day before that the hike to Pedra Bonita was canceled due to weather-related reasons and that we would be offered an alternate hike. However, the guide on the day of the tour told us there was no hike included and that it was just a jeep tour. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this tour. Management of this tour appears to be very unorganized.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

thank you for your review

AMAZING tour!!!!!! Robert...

Tijuca tour

Robert_M, Oct 2024

It was great - especially our guide Roberto. Great place and wonderful guide. Not in a hurry, knowledgeable, and a great person.

Fun in the Sun

Cynthya_L, Dec 2022

Our host was great! I will take tours with him every time! He was knowledgable and so much fun! The group that ended up together couldn't have been more compatible. We enjoyed the tour and we enjoyed each other's company.
