George is an excellent guide. Extremely knowledgeable, insightful and funny. He helped us understand life in the favela and dispelled many myths.

The poorer side of life.

Graham_B, Apr 2024

A visit to the poorer part of Rio brings home how people struggle to live. Very narrow steep stepped access to very small living spaces. Lots of inivitive ways of getting around the narrow streets. I'm glad we did it.

Amazing experience

We enjoyed the narrow street walk. Our tour guide was very informative. She took two of us to in market and small narrow street walking. One of our friend could not take stairs or walk down so she stayed back with driver who took her around the area by Jeep car. It is safe when you follow the tour guide rules.

Awesome

1st Full day in Rio experienced the Favelas “Slums”. We got less stares in the Favelas than in the tourist area, the people just want to live life, and no problems. We didn’t feel unsafe at any point, and our guide Andre was great with showing us the spots, taking photos, and mingling with the different languages (English, Portuguese, and Spanish). Highly recommend for those that enjoy seeing how the Brazilians live in the Favelas and focus on community!

Excellent tour

Raphael was my guide for the favela tour. Let me start out by saying I went back and forth in my head MANNNNY times re booking this as I’ve heard such bad and scary things about the favelas. Can I just say how wrong I was about this. I am sooooo happy I did this tour as I cannot go to Rio/ Brazil and not do a favela tour. Raphael picked me up in a jeep which added to the tour as it was open top so we could see everything as we were driving through the city and through the favela. We parked up and took a wander around the favela and it is such an amazing community of friendly, hardworking and all round great people. I did not know they have swimming pools, hospitals, schools, Churches, bakeries, pet shops, groomers, nail salons, barbers, supermarkets (need I go on) in there. What an amazing community of people. Raphael was an amazing tour guide - he took us on a walking tour around the favelas where we learnt more about the history, culture and people who live there. We were a group of 3 and he made me feel very safe and comfortable while walking around. We got to buy paintings done by people who live in the favela which was great as we are able to support them a little. We also had a drink on a rooftop bar overlooking the favela - what an amazing site to see. I’d recommend this tour to everyone and anyone who wants to see a different yet beautiful side of Rio. I’d recommend Raphael as he was an amazing guide 10/10!!

Pleasant, interesting

Wir wurden gar nicht abgeholt, es wurde auf Nachfrage nach 2 Stunden hin und her schreiben mitgeteilt dass zu wenig Teilnehmer sind und der Ausflug auf den nächsten Tag verlegt wurde. Dafür hatten wir bereits was anderes gebucht.
