Our tour guide was highly knowledgeable and helpful. Be prepared for gorgeous views. If visiting during the month on October, please make sure to bring a light jacket. Tempetures change becomes cooler from the coast into the deeper and higher elevations of the Tijuca Forrest. Hiking is very light, but make sure to use shoes that have tread for the trail. We were highly impressed with the tour and definitely recommend to anyone interested.

Light hike with wonderful views

No regrets! Go ahead and book it!

Maereg_G, May 2025

Go ahead and book it! Our experience was fantastic! We got picked up from our Airbnb and dropped off! You’re getting a jeep tour of Tijuca but you’re also technically getting a sightseeing tour of the city on your way to Tijuca, it’s very beautiful. Our tour guide was so informative and even allowed us to get off at a couple stops and take a walk around to see the waterfalls and other places. 10/10

Definitely worth the time and money!

An excellent tour! Our guide Silva was sensational. He had a wealth of information at every stop and gave equal time to passengers speaking different languages. We saw monkeys, waterfalls, and hiked through a jungle trail. There were several beautiful mountain views of the city, and it was just a bonus that the open-air jeep was a terrific way to take in more of the city to and from the Tijuca forest. Highly recommend!

Silva our guide knew his stuff.. it is not stressful and he arrived on time to pick us up.The environment was absolutely stunning

Wonderful

Wonderful tour with Silva. Great energy and very knowledgeable. You have to have good health because this hike is not for people with poor health/not fit. Would definitely recommend to people who love nature and hiking!

There's Wild Country just minutes above the city

Peter_S, Mar 2024

Sylva is a sensitive and engaging guide with a great sense of humor. Not a bad driver either. Our trip took us to several water features, great views, monkeys and tapirs and giant trees while learning about the National Park's flora and fauna. Brazil must have been a paradise when the forest covered the entire Atlantic Coast, and this trip helps us imagine those days.

Fun at Tijuca park

Konstantinos_K, Feb 2024

Interesting, fun and insightful tour of Tijuca park. Silva, our guide, was absolutely amazing and authentic. It was very obvious that he has love and personal ties/experiences in the forest and he transferred a lot of his knowledge about the history and the culture over to us.I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone that enjoys nature and is interested in learning about the ecosystem of a rainforest and the history of Tijuca.

Unforgettable! Amaysing!

Elizabeth_N, Dec 2022

Exhilarating Hike with Evandro

Hurseena_B, Sep 2019

The private tour of Tijuca Forest has to be one of my highlights of Brazil, and I'm glad I didn't attempt it myself. We took the tour at our own pace, which with a group tour, would have been hard for me to keep up. We stopped to see 2 waterfalls and enjoyed dipping our feet. He then took us to the infamous Vista Chinese where the view of Rio was just spectacular. As he was driving us home he was kind enough to stop in places so we could take more pictures of different views. He seemed to tailor the tour to what my aunt and I enjoyed the most, and that's what makes him a amazing tour guide. He also speaks very good English and is very knowledgeable about the whole of Rio. I will definelty use Bambui tours next time I visit Rio. And I have found a new friend in Evandro.

Response from Host, Sep 2019

thank you very much for the review!! hope to see you soon in Rio!!

Vraiment notre meilleure expérience du séjour. Guide très sympa et humain qui partage de vrai moment de vie avec nous

Ssuper balade verte

pticolibri, Jan 2020

Une très bonne expérience. Une randonnée dans la nature très relaxante et reposante, loin de la foule des plages par des petits sentiers pédestres. Notre guide nous a bien expliqué plusieurs choses sur la forêt et a veillé à notre confort. Je recommande vivement
