Reviews

Must do tour with Luis!
Lily K, 04-01-2023
This was a great tour with Luis to the Rocinha favela, I really recommend. Even before arriving, Luis gave so much info about Rio and the areas we were driving through. When we got to the favela, Luis kept our safety as the priority but still let us see daily life in the favela. He took so many good photos and gave a lot of interesting info.

This tour is one of the best for me in Brazil so far!
Great experience

We took a tour of the favela Rochina. Our guide, Luís, was informative and told us when we could use our phones for photos, which was reassuring. We toured landmarks and murals in the favela, bought art from local artists and visited an apartment rooftop for views. Would definitely recommend!
Safe tour through favela Rocinha with Luiz

We had a safe and very informative tour through the favela Rocinha guided by Luiz. His experience and bulk of knowledge made the trip very educating. Although it felt safe throughout, please be aware that we have seen drug-trafficking boys with big guns; if that is nothing for you please do another trip, otherwise I can recommended Luiz 100%!

Luiz took us on an amazing tour through the Rocinha Favela. He explained the way the local people live in the favelas. He made us feel very safe, and gave us an amazing experience, filled with so much culture. We are grateful to have learned so much from Luiz and highly recommend him as a guide.
Great tours

We booked the city tour, jeep tour, favela tour, and transfers to Ilha Grande by them and they worked out all perfectly. All the tours were amazing and we got a good view of the city in different ways. Therefore, we are really happy with these experiences and these tour guides!
