Strongly recommend

It was really great tour with Wellington. I was first time in Brazil and did not worry about my safety during the tour. I can recommend Wellington as best local gid.

Eye Opening Favela Tour

Published on Feb, 2020

We heard about the tour through the backpackers and had the most amazing day. After all the negative things we had heard about the favela's and how unsafe they are, this trip opened our eyes to what real life is like in the Favelas. I would highly recommend the tour to anyone who is keen to see another side of life in Rio

I went visiting Rocinha with Wellington. It was very interesting as he explained almost evertything about how life in a favela works. We walked in the small streets through the favela and could smell the real atmosphere. I enjoyed the tour as it was very instructive and gave me the sense of living there.

Amazing tour guide!

Amazing visit with an amazing tour guide! If you want to live an authentic experience visiting Rio de Janeiro I definitely recommend Wellington as your guide! Authentic true guy who will explain and discuss various subjects with pleasure. If you wish to dive deeper into various aspect of Brazil, he is your man!

Local for a day

Published on Dec, 2019

As the carioca people go about their daily lives you get an opportunity to see the other side of Brazil. There is a real sense of community - locals enjoying the hustle & bustle of their day & the kids smiling & laughing. An absolute must do in Rio, a unique experience exploring one of the many favela's in Brazil. Wellington does a fantastic job of immersing you in the local culture.
