Favela Tour Adventure

What an amazing experience from start to finish. Mauricio our tour guide was fantastic. The kids loved the jeep tour to and from the hotel and Mauricio’s English was excellent and his knowledge of the area was very comprehensive.

Our tour guide Sophia is very sweet and experienced! I feel comfortable and safe :) would recommend it to anyone who is interested

It was excellent. The tour guides Mauricio and Jess were very informative and super pleasant. If ever you're in Rio contact these guys. Great adventure!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Very good experience touring the favela. It’s not as bad as people make it out to be. If in Rio, check it out.

Amazing experience in Rocinha! Sofia was a fantastic guide — friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about the community. She made us feel very welcome and gave us a genuine insight into local life and culture. Definitely one of the highlights of our time in Rio. Highly recommended! L&I

Very good experience-a true authentic look at real Brazilian culture and a unique way of life. Mauricio was a fantastic guide which made the overall experience truly amazing.

It was a great learning experience. The visit was well conducted with Mairico as the good tour guide. I really like the experience with the Flavia people.

Not to be missed experience in Rio. Erica was amazing organising it for us, very responsive and proactive. Mauricio our guide was excellent, real fun! Will never forget it!

Micaela and Didi were our guides. Excellent experience, we felt safe all the tour. Good explanaition.

Absolutely fantastic—one of the best tours we’ve done. A huge thank you to Aline, who was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to answer all of our questions. She really made the experience even more enjoyable. If you’re concerned about the ethical side of visiting a favela, this tour is thoughtfully run. Rather than focusing on poverty, it highlights the community’s culture, entrepreneurship, resilience, and the inspiring ways residents are building their lives. Safety was also handled very well throughout the tour. The guide checked in and out at designated checkpoints, carried out regular head counts, and made sure everyone stayed together. We felt safe the entire time. One thing to be aware of is that the tour passes through an area where drug trafficking is present, and you may see people carrying firearms or openly handling drugs. While this was managed safely as part of the guided route and we never felt threatened, it can be confronting. Because of that, I’d personally recommend the tour for ages 15+ rather than younger children. At the end of the tour, you also have the option to ride a motorbike down the hill for an extra R$10. It was such a fun experience and absolutely worth it. I couldn’t recommend this tour more. If you’re deciding between options—choose this one!

Didi was a great tour guide! What an amazing experience! Playing football in the favelas of Brazil was for sure a highlight I’ll never forget

Great tour with our guide Didi! Authentic and safe view into the favela. Nice motorcycle tour at the end.

It was amazing. Must do when in Rio. Gustavo was an excellent guide

Had a great experience with you. Our guide, Didi, was on time and very friendly. She provided a lot of information along the way and gave us many opportunities to ask questions and get immersed in the Rocinha culture. The rules were very clear and we felt very safe the entire time we were at Rocinha. We were in Rio for 4 days and the only time we saw a monkey was at a shop here.

The Favela (Rocinha) tour was really a great experience and an eye opening one. Didi was really helpful and explained everything in detail. The Favela itself felt like a community with a lively vibe. I would recommend this tour to visitors in Rio. We were really impressed how the Favela is organized. Kudos to Didi and Team!

This tour was an incredible experience. It’s so good to have a glimpse of what is it to live in a Favela. The guide is caring, cheerful and always willing to respond to our questions. I higlhy recommend this company !!

Wesley is a good guide, speaks very well speak and spanish. Real and weel done tour. TOP! Rocinha with wesley is no dangerous and it’s a geeat experience

Excellent tour. The guide Didi was very interesting and gave a lot of information about the Rocinha favela.

All excellent Sofia Guide service spectacle

It was in a small group. The tour was nice and the guide was very kind. I recommend it.

It was all very beautiful, very helpful team.

Sofia immediately put us at ease during the briefing by explaining to us what to do and what not to do, her knowledge of the history of Rocinha was very enriching, offering us an unforgettable day, discovering Rocinha from the inside with moments of sharing with the locals. Thank you Sofia for this unique experience! An excellent guide! One day I will return!

I thought the experience was excellent, I would do it again on another visit to Rio, it changed the perspective I had of the favela.

Excellent experience, the bakery to do, highly recommended Sofia our guide a genius, very good her communication and very friendly

Sofia, excellent guide, very nice group and an excellent experience lived. It is recommended to do that tour at least once in a lifetime. THANK YOU SOFIA

Super cool and interesting to learn

Super punctual, very organized and clear with the information. The guides were very pleasant

A very vivid tour, you have the opportunity to feel, touch, see, hear, smell each of the aspects, which is what you look for in travel experiences. Excellent guides Micaela and Joaquín.

Very good experience, we had the Chilean guide Mauricio and he was very kind and friendly, he told us about the history of the favela. Highly recommended - @lacamizel

I loved it, it is a great adventure that I experienced

The tour of the favela with Micaela was incredible! She is super approachable, she takes you to see the alleys and the best viewpoints with total confidence. She explains everything super well and in a very natural way. 100% recommended!

a very beautiful tour, excellent service, and very good people

Very good, clear and objective explanation, very attentive and receptive.

Good service. Brazilians should have priority in the explanation. You shouldn't start with another language.

Amazing, super worth it. I did the best guide

Everything was very nice and we learned a lot about the culture housed in there.

Great experience by Rocinha, on the motorbike, played football with children in the favela. Tour guide was amazing

Very friendly and professional guide. Very interesting tour.

The guide Didi was incredible; she made the experience very enriching. The visit to the lookout and the capoeira wheel allowed us to connect deeply with the local culture. Highly recommended.

Very top, Didi showed us a lot

I love to meet you, we went with the guide Didi
