Sergio was a great guide. From the outset he told us what to expect, when we could take photos and when we can’t take photos, but always made sure we were safe. The favela was such as eye opening experience. Whilst it was quite confronting at times it was good to see how people live. The most important thing was we felt safe: would highly recommend seeing the favela if you enjoy learning about life outside the tourist bubble of Rio!

Transport - the van was spacious and clean.
Guide - Patrick was great and he seems very welcomed in the community. He wasn’t pushy at all and kept the tour interesting while providing a ton of information.
Tour - it didn’t feel as if we were intruding while walking around. It was very insightful and a great way to spend money with the people directly.

The favela tour was excellent. Our guide Patrick had a wealth of knowledge and shared many interesting insights about the way of life in the favela. It was heartwarming to see Patrick's friendly relationship with the local residents, especially the children. 😊

Knowledgeable guide. Didn’t feel as if we were intruding. Made us aware that the favela accepts tourists if the tour is done sensitively which it was

We had a great tour with Patrick! He was really informative and led us through all the streets of the Favelas. We enjoyed every bit of it. Immersing ourselves in the culture is key, and Patrick made sure we knew the history and took us through it all. Such a great tour, and we will definitely be back for more, very soon!

The climbing up and down so many steep stairs and alleyways where people live their daily lives, there was on the journey to the Favelas many nice houses and then you get there and make your way through the narrow streets there the accommodation for families is very tight, my main little worry was as a tourist we were perhaps intruding into the world in which they live and we did feel a little uncomfortable with that, our guide Patrick was very patient and informative and answered all our many questions which did put us at ease.
