My girlfriend and I spent a week in Rio and we luckily reached out to Miguel for the City tour on our first day! He was so great that we decided to do 4 excursions with him and his team during the week that we were here, and it did NOT disappoint. Miguel was amazing, his guidance throughout all of the tours was amazing, and he was so helpful and responsive on all of our questions that it made our trip to Rio so much easier and enjoyable. We did absolutely everything that we wanted and had a 10/10 experience with him. We did the full city tour, the favela tour, tunica forest tour and Pedra da Tartaruga rappelling. It is also al tailored to your needs. If you come to Rio and don’t reach out to Miguel you’re missing out in my opinion!

We had a amazing trip perfect and safe, miguel is a perfect guide and very good in english. Also he take us from the hotel and back we eat some nice and healthy fresh food
Miguel was an amazing hiking companion! A true friend, fully equipped, and made the Pedra De Gavea hike an unforgettable experience.
Miguel single handedly saved my trip to Rio!! He was so helpful on 2 dream tours, Christ the Redeemer & Pedra do Telegraphico! I originally took a tour that ended up being rained out...and my flight was the next morning. I was beyind disappointed, as I literally came to Rio de Janeiro to see these things, as well as experience the culture of the country. I got Miguel's number from another guide and he promised me, he'd gage the rain and time our tours perfectly so I could see everything I wanted to see. I was a little skeptical, but he came highly recommended. I changed my flight and said a prayer and the next day was an amazing day in Rio🇧🇷 Miguel was super knowledgeable of the country, I learned so much from him, but he was also very friendly, personable and encouraging, especially during the hike to Pedra do Telegraphico. People travel from all over the world to see this rock, and as challenging as the climb was at times, Miguel kept encouraging me. We stopped, he even had water for me and we made it to the top, which was WELL WORTH the climb. In all, Miguel saved my trip and now I can go home feeling accomplished & satisfied and ready to plan my next adventure!! Thanks Miguel!!🇧🇷🫶🇺🇸🤙🏽
Miguel Cordoba and his colleague Fernando took us To Christ The Redeemer, Sugar Loaf Mountain, The Steps and Tijuca National Park. Him and his Friend are the best Tour Guides I have experienced, very friendly, caring, accommodating and dedicated with good knowledge. I would strongly recommend them to take you around in Rio de Janeiro.
Miguel Cordoba Was an amazing guide and extremely knowledgeable. Me and my wife speak both Portuguese and English which was very beneficial but Miguel was amazing at explaining anything in fluent English. We had so much fun with him and he helped us to see all the amazing sites in Rio! Would definitely book with him again
Very nice hike with a lot of beautiful landscapes, the Rappel experience was very cool and safe even for someone doing it for the first time.
The best tour guide and best tours you’ll find in Rio! I actually grew up in Rio, but have lived in the US for a decade now. I hadn’t been to Brazil in 4 years and my partner and I decided we would be super active and visit many places since it was his first time in my country. Miguel is one of the only English-speaking guides in Rio (and he also speaks Spanish), and that made a huge difference not only for my partner, but for me not having to translate everything (Last time I visited Brazil I got hoarse from having to translate everything everywhere, and it’s not relaxing), so that was amazing already. We started with a couple of tours I had never done, hiking, climbing and rappelling at Morro do Cantagalo, and Canyoning on waterfalls at Cachoeira do Horto. Miguel is very patient in teaching anybody how to climb (or help you up with the rope if you can’t make it 🤣), and it makes the whole experience really amazing and exciting! He also shares a lot of history and stories from different areas and places as we go, which makes every tour more interactive and interesting. This was my first time climbing and canyoning, and I did it!! And it was sooo fun!! When you reach the top of a hill in Rio, or the bottom of a waterfall in Rio… it’s just magical! I can say that these tours with Xperiencer made me fall in love with my city all over again ❤️! I decided to also climb the Sugar Loaf, and that was tough and challenging, but SOO WORTH IT. There are many routes, and Miguel can explain those to you based on your level of skill. And of course, we also did Morro Dois Irmaos. I had done it with Miguel 4 years ago but I never did it when I lived there… because I was afraid. But honestly, I went again because the first experience was so great, the views are some of the best, the wolkswagen or mototaxi ride up the favela is super exciting, the people are kind and welcoming, you feel safe, and the rappel pictures you can take up there are to die for!! Don’t forget the all-you-can-drink sugar cane juice and pastel at the beginning of Favela do Vidigal! I’m fit, and always down to doing new things and difficult adventures, but Miguel also has a bunch of other tours that cater to everyone!!
The adventures we did was amazing!! The guide took good care of us and he is super friendly. You will have a great time if you choose this, for sure!!
Miguel is best tour guide! He is very professional, maintain safety at all times, can speak English very well, and most importently takes the best pictures! Also, he is very fun to spend time with - highly recommend!
I went up here with Miguel who is a very good and safe guide. He knows a lot about the region and hiking and climbing in general and his English is perfect. The hike itself is steep but doable and the views on a clear and sunny day are amazing.
Best experince ever. Miguel was very helpful and prestative. Beautifull sunrise and perfect Rapel and hikking.
Amazing tour and staff! We had so much fun. I love to see nature and recommend their activities 100%!
Miguel was an awesome guide! Spoke English well for me and the other gringos, was fun to be around for the tour and the experience itself was breathtaking!
An amazing experience to the top of Pedra do Telégrafo after a week of fog and rain! Miguel was the most fun, engaging, and knowledgeable guide I've had on any hike. He was well prepared and ready for anything. We enjoyed some local fruits and ice cream as a reward for a greatt hike too! The views are absolutely breathtaking from the waters to the creatures along the way and I'd definitely do it again!
I did the Pedra da Gávea trail with guide Miguel Cordoba and his team from Xperience Tour Brazil. The experience was fantastic. The professionals are very qualified.
Quiet trail, even at dawn, photos get amazing of sunrise. Spectacular view.
Miguel is very good blood, great guide, we passed a lot of safety and many teachings. Note 1000. The trail is very cool.
Miguel is too wild. Great guide, good energy and nice teachings that made the experience safe and unforgettable!
Too good! Best guide! Good route, spectacular views. Better finish at the Mirante do Avrao.
Very good! Miguel knows everything and commands too well! Trail, beach, waterfall! You know of climbing, the history of the places, passes a lot of confidence!
Wonderful! Unique experience. It was amazing. No words to describe such care with us. Note 1000 for these professionals.
Get to know the place, experience new sensations and have the best guide to assist on the journey! I highly recommend
Amazing experience, spectacular place and high-level professionals. Surreal view! I want the next one
We are from Lisbon (Portugal) We made Pedra da Gavia and Morro two Brothers. We have come with everything combined with Miguel, it was simply amazing, an excellent guide, we are already planning the next one, were unique moments... Challengers... Encouraging... Spectacular... It was an unforgettable experience. We leave here our gratitude. Thank you Miguel for dedication and commitment in presenting us the best of your city. Until next time; Hugo and Joy

From the beginning of the community, to the Peak of the hill two brothers and simply sensational! One of the top views of Rio de Janeiro.

In addition to knowing and passing safely on the track and the rapel, Miguel knows a lot about the history of Rio, which makes the tour cultural and sporty.
