Really enjoyed the...

Published on Mar, 2025

Really enjoyed the experience! Carlos was a great guide and Mateus was a great driver. Would recommend this tour for seeing a variety of things at Rocinha.

Ask for Hélio!

Published on Nov, 2024

Had a great time with our guide Hélio. Hélio took us through his home neighborhood of Rochina, where he clearly knew everyone and is a popular character! We were particularly pleased with how responsive & adaptive Hélio was - he quickly sensed which aspects of the tour were of greatest interest and changed the itinerary accordingly. Tour represented excellent value for money and we felt like we gained some authentic insights. Thank you!

Favourite tour in Brazil

Put this on your MUST DO list for Rio de Janeiro. The opportunity to visit and learn about life from a guide with local knowledge whilst feeling very safe. We had 3 people on our tour so it was very customised to us. We visited local artists, went to a house and took a motorbike ride.

The other side of Rio

Published on Oct, 2024

Very interesting and insightful tour with local, experienced guide, Ellio. Only 4 on tour and at good pace Busy Rochina favela, walked from top back to bottom, through narrow alleyways, along bustling thoroughfares. Some quite dirty areas but always lots of people around doing their everyday jobs. Lots of rubbish at different points waiting for twice daily collection. Saw school, hospital, shops, a living room house. Heard about charity work to help children being completed by ex drug dealers.
