Once in a life time experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Once in a life time experience, very well organized. Our guide was very good. Learning about their way of living and the way they support each others including Music, School, Art, Community center encouraging entrepreneurial ship was mind blowing.

Safe and Well-Organized Tour with Knowledgeable Guides!

Published on Feb, 2025

Everything was very well organized and felt completely safe. We were always accompanied by a guide from Gregtur and a local from the Favela, which made the experience even more authentic and insightful. I highly recommend it!

Safe, fun, and unique experience!

Published on Jul, 2024

Never expected that we could get a chance to get to Favela. It was absolutely fun, interesting and unique experience. Our guide Carlos was professional and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour! Totally safe too :) ファベーラツアーに5名で参加しました。 安全で、ファベーラ内のアーティストさんに会えたり、コミュニティセンターに行けたりと、すごく貴重な体験でした。 値段は決して安いとは言えませんが、安全にツアーに参加できるので実際に参加すると値段以上の経験ができます。 サンパウロに訪れた際はぜひ体験してみてください!

Great experience

Published on Dec, 2023

Wonderful trip to change the prejudices regarding the favelas and to get to know some kind and friendly artists and other people. I can highly recommend the guide and the agency.

Fantastic stay at Hotel de l'Horloge, Avignon.

Published on Nov, 2023

This wonderful hotel in the centre of the old city of Avignon is highly recommended. Friendly helpful staff, clean and comfortable room and close to everything you need. Stayed 10 days in a Privilege Room with Terrace - just brilliant to come back to after a day of sightseeing. Lots of room and added bonus of being outside on a rooftop with views of the old city. Great value for money. Well done Hotel de l'Horloge.
