Loved this tour. The hike is challenging but it’s beautiful. The guide, Felipe was super kind and knowledgeable. He was patient as some needed time to stop and breathe on the hike. Would book another tour with him!

Incredible Experience with Top Tourist Guide!
William_A, Feb 2024
Felipe and Jalmir are amazing, we got on the road very early (5an) to get ahead of city traffic and avoided meeting crowds at the top of the rock when we got there. Totally worth taking this tour, but keep in mind that it’s a very steep hike for people in good disposition and physical condition. We loved every part of it. Jalmir was super nice and showed us a few other spots along the way. Highly recommended when visiting Rio de Janeiro.
Stunning !! Amazing !!

Expectations not managed
Lauren_J, Jul 2019
This tour was ok but our expectations of the day were poorly managed. Firstly is says hotel pick up available they asked us if we could meet elsewhere to be picked up however we would be dropped back at our hotel. The tour also states approx. 5 hrs. Firstly driver was 30 mins late, then lroceeded to drive us to his home to change cars whixh added additional time and the 5 of us were squashed into a small car. The tour ended up being 8 hrs not 5 hrs and then we were told he didn't have time to drop us back to our hotel so left us at another guests hostel. I booked this tour mainly as it was meant to be a half day around 5 hrs as stated. On the way back we stopped at a beach for 30 mins unnecessarily, as the tour was running so overtime we shoukd have been asked us if we even wanted to stop as we were all starving but this didnt happen so we sat on the beach tired and hungry and annoyed at the time. The walk itself was fine but the whole day was poorly managed and as a result I wouldnt recommend.
Response from Host, Jul 2019
The Rio Eco Trip always tries to do the best for its customers. We provide transportation only to South zone, this all described on the webpage. You were staying in Santa Teresa and this location is not covered by our shuttle so you were headed to the meeting point. The guide was with a Big Pajero for 6 places but 2 tourists canceled at the last moment so he asked you and other 2 tourists about changing cars to better satisfy them and make a faster transfer and everyone agreed. He did not change the route, he lives on the way and made a quick stop at his place. On the way back the guide asked everyone if want to make a stop on the beach and everyone agreed again. I don't understand why this bad rating, 100% of my ratings on Tripadvisor are ALL 5 STARS.
