An experience of a lifetime

Though, I did the research on the favela, however the experience of this tour is out of this world. If you're visiting rio de janeiro, it is highly recommended.
Authentic experience

The tour was amazing and definitely exceeded my expectations ! Our tour guide Martin made us feel very safe but at the same time completely immersed in the favela culture.
Thank you for this special experience, I can just recommend it :)
Favela experience

The tour was of the most interesting ones I had in a long time, the guide was really attentive and everything he said in spanish he always translated to English and vice versa to make sure everyone felt included. The guide also knew a lot of locals and which have the tour a really genuine feeling. Highly recommend it!
Be advised

The guide should have never left us alone during the walking tour because the 5 minutes he went away for some personal shopping, at least two locals approached us asking for money or obliging us to put cameras in our pockets. Besides I paid a 4hour walking tour that lasted no more than 2 hours
Interesting place but not so interesting tour guide

The favela community is definitely an unbelievable interesting place to visit. However, the tour guide made a couple of racist comments concerning Americans being out of shape and privileged that sparked some concerns with my spouse and I. The commentary lacked substance. The guide literally stopped in front door of a residence and said to us “a French man and his girlfriend lives here”. Everyone looked at each other in awkwardness like….. “ok?”
In summary, this was a great tour, just not so good tour guide.
