We had an amazing tour of Rocinha led by Luiz. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, patient, and passionate, making us feel deeply connected to the vibrant culture and history of the favela.
Everything was perfectly organized, and Luiz went above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. Highly recommend this tour with Luiz for an authentic and enriching exploration. Five stars!

Our guide was so informative and nice to tour with. He even asked if we would wait a little for another couple who were running late. We waited and waited but in the end we had to leave.
I believe the lady became very abusive on text and this was so unfair to our guide as we all waited for some time. It was their duty to turn up on time like we did. Anything she says in a review I would ignore, it is unjustified! He is brilliant, kind and patient.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone staying in Rio. We were a bit hesitant booking this tour but our guide luiz put our minds at rest and opened our eyes on life in a favela. I guarantee you will truly see what life is really like instead of what the films show you! I'd recommend doing a favela tour with a local guide, luiz was very knowledgeable and open to answering any questions we had. Thanks luiz!

We really enjoyed this tour of the favela. Luiz was very kind and knowledgeable as he grew up and lives in the favela. He was very welcoming and happy to answer any questions. It gave me a new perspective on the favelas - it was very interesting and different to what I expected. I felt safe with Luiz the whole time, would highly recommend!

It was amazing! Luiz gave us rich informations about the community and their urban dynamics. Luiz is an excellent guide, and he speaks very good English. About the Favela: I felt very safe and welcomed by the community. It is important to take the tour so that you can see the REAL part of Rio de Janeiro. Also, I realized that the favela is different from what the media shows. I totally recommend!
