    Best Part of Trip to Rio

    Everyone has a prejudice about the favelas. Leave all that behind and learn the true story from this fantastic tour. Excellent people and an excellent place.
    Amazing

    It was an amazing tour. Carlos was a great guide. It was very interesting. Many thanks for everything.
    An amazing experience!

    Carlos explained life in the favela with a lot of detail and answered every question we had in an engaging way. His personality and knowledge of the favela made this one of the best tours I took while visiting Rio!
    Tour guide no show - no explanation - no communication whatsoever!!

    No one showed up - waited a half hour. Very disappointed as it was a hour trip from my hotel. It is amazing that I have to write a 100 character review for such ridiculousness!!
