The tour was incredible, Jucara is very knowledgeable and professional! I really enjoyed my tour and learning about the history of the Favela. I also was able to meet some great people that made the trip even better. I would definitely recommend to anyone travelling to Brazil! Fabian

An incredible tour of the biggest favela in Rio (Rocinha). Our guide was full of knowledge and answered all questions we had about the favelas in great detail. She took many pictures throughout so that we have memories to look back on. To get the best experience, we were taken to the top via motorcycle. Whilst walking down, she showed us the incredible facilities that a favela has to offer its people; schools, libraries and many places to eat and shop. It was a real opener. The people are very happy and welcoming of tourists. We entered a real house within the favela. The family were very welcoming and full of energy. Such wonderful people! There are many opportunities to take pictures for yourself, just check with the guide that it is okay to do. In some parts you are advised not to take pictures. This truly was an amazing experience, that I’d recommend to anyone. I wish I could go into more detail but there are not enough characters to type. Hope you enjoy when you book!

I loved this tour and our guide, Ju, was super friendly! The moto ride at the start was fun! It was fun to be able to socialize with others on the tour as I’m traveling solo and I even met up with my tour friends later. This tour is a rare experience because you don’t get the opportunity to walk around favelas and I just love seeing these beautiful communities and the creativity in which they are built. Our tour guide is a young woman from the community so what’s better than using your money to support young, female entrepreneurs doing courageous business tings! We spent about an hour of our time hanging out at a local’s place which was awesome to see the inside of a house. It was also fun to be able to stop at the local bakeries, etc to buy snacks along the way. I also was able to get restaurant recommendations to support Rocinha on other occasions. This tour is respectful of the community & even creates safety within the community bc of the movement it creates. Pick this tour!!
