I honestly couldn’t believe I was being picked up by a motorcycle since I was the only one on the tour. That was problematic. Other than that, the tour was amazing. Yeah, I took the motorcycle - it was crazy!

They showed us the best experience! They even waited as we were late which was due to traffic and they were very respectful, personable, patient and understanding. I’d give them whatever I have for the time they showed us on the hike!
Awesome hike and breathtaking views! The host was awesome — super friendly, professional, and clearly knows the trail inside out. His English was excellent, which made communication easy and has super chill vibes!
First things first, our guide was very friendly and we had a good time on the hike. Disclaimer, the hike can be quite challenging for beginners both up and down the trail. Especially in hot weather. (Loads of people were slipping) I wouldn’t say this was not the most informative tour. The group asked plenty of questions throughout the hike that were not answered or answered with not much detail or explanation. I really appreciate the familiarity our guide had with the local people. It made travelling through the favela by motorcycle much more reassuring. Overall, having a guide was useful when arriving at Vidigal to ensure safe travels to and from the park. However, the guide was not very informative and I believe transportation and entrance fee should have been included.
I had a fabulous time on the tour! Leo was our guide and he was so helpful. He gave us break when we needed it and helped us in the trickier parts of the hike. I would recommend!
Rodrigo was an excellent guide. He is very familiar with the hiking trail in addition to the history of Rio; I learned a lot of the surrounding area and Favela through Rodrigo. He was also kind enough to take the best pictures at the peak since I didn’t want to go all the way to the edge. Further, he provided great recs for food, shopping and sightseeing in Rio. I highly recommend booking a tour with Rodrigo!
This was our first time and I can only recommend it. Amazing tour, super professional and responsive people. The guide (Ronaldo) was just amazing. The best guide I ever had to be honest. Everything was just perfect. You can definitely book with them!!!
We had the best time!! Rodrigo was an exceptional guide and the hike was beautiful! I wish we had found Rodrigo sooner because we would have scheduled more hikes with him this trip!! Next time we are in Rio, we will definitely be looking him up for our next adventure!!
I can confidently say that I made the right decision by choosing Rodrigo Indio Tours for the Two Brothers Hike. Rodrigo was very professional, kind, spoke great English, and was incredibly informative and attentive to my family. The hike was intimate and personalized, which made it even more special. Plus, the price is right! I highly recommend Rodrigo Indio Tours for all your tour needs when visiting Rio. I'm so glad I found him!
Rodrigo was really helpful in arranging an evening hike to dos irmaos and his colleague facu accompanied me on the hike and was an amazing guide. I really enjoyed my time on this experience and would recommend them highly.
This was the third time we walked Trilha Dois Irmaos. The other two times were more then 10 years ago. Everything was organized well. Rodrigo our guide was punctual and the van was already there. The guide was very helpful and explained things about the trail and had photos on his phone how the surrounding used to be. At the top the view was stunning! The trail is rather easy walk. Once back at the top of Vidigal we took motortaxi to go down. Loved it! Recommend Rodrigo Indio as your guide!
I went with a group of 9, so with our tour guide the group was 10. I thought it would be hard to manage but it was fantastically fun! We got to some stops along the way, where we could take a break and enjoy some views. By the peak of the hike, you can see all of the city, mountains, beaches and favelas to enjoy. Our guide knew the best spots to take photos and was courteous the entire hike. I implore anyone visiting Brazil to take this journey and make a memory of a lifetime.
Super amazing guide and great experience. Must do!! Was helpful, took photos and very warm and friendly The peak was beautiful.
A great experience! Our guide, Thainá, was super friendly, welcoming and very helpful - we felt comfortable and safe the whole time. The scooter transportation through the favela was particularly practical - a real experience! The hike was well organized, with impressive views over Rio that we won't soon forget. An absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to get to know Rio from a different, authentic perspective!
Great late afternoon hike to the summit of the "big brother" for sunset. Rode an itau bike out to the last station near the sheraton and the walked 10 min to the praca. (Meeting point). Easy and safe, lots of people on the walkway. Leonardo my guide was awesome, great guide. The moto bike ride from the praca to the trailhead at the top of vidrigal (and back down afterward) was a blast in and of itself. Hang on tight 😀. The hike was moderate and took about 45 minutes with great views along the way and at the top. On the way back down, we heard the local band rehearsing (for next years carnival!) in a small gym at the top of the favela, and Leo took us in to watch. What an amazing experience. Great 3 hour experience.. Leo, thank you for a great evening!
Amazing experience!! Such a beautiful hike with incredible views; we even came face-to-face with some monkeys on the trail :) Jessie was a wonderful guide—very kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend!!
Our hike up Two Brothers (Morro Dois Irmãos) with Rodrigo was one of the highlights of our trip to Rio. He was more than just a guide—he shared real stories and gave us a deeper understanding of the city and its culture. Rodrigo lived in the favela near the trail for five years, and his experience gave us a unique perspective. As we walked, he told us about life there, the sense of community, and how it shaped his view of Rio. And the view at the top? Absolutely unforgettable. Standing above the city, with panoramic views of Ipanema, Leblon, the lagoon, and even Christ the Redeemer in the distance—it was one of those moments that takes your breath away. Photos just don’t do it justice. What made it even better was hearing Rodrigo share what that view meant to him and how it connects different parts of Rio—both geographically and culturally. If you want more than just a hike—if you want to learn about the real Rio and take in one of the best views in the city—Rodrigo is the guide for you. Highly recommended!
This was such an amazing hike. Luckily it was on my itinerary. I did not book tickets in advance but being able to book the night before was great. Once I was able to purchase my ticket, almost immediately the staff responded. I love how professional they were. The day of the hike I got a message from my guide Jessie that she was already at the meeting location. So on top of being really responsive, they are super timely as well, which is great. I appreciate that besides the cost of the tickets they were super upfront about the extra cost, which were the motorcycle ride to the entrance and then once you get to the entrance of Morro Dois Irmãos you have the entrance fee as well. Because I was prepared the hike was great and then afterwards Jessie was kind enough to show me around for a little bit before she had to meet her next group. Before the day of the hike, I messaged Jessie and told her how excited I was and looking forward to it she responded that it would be an unforgettable day and true to her words. It was definitely an unforgettable day. Next time I'm in Rio, I will definitely book with this group again in the future for other activities and hikes.
Great hike. An amazing experience. Leo was our guide. He made sure we come back with some cool shots and videos. Felt safe. Ride on a bike through favela was very cool too.
This experience was amazing! Even though I am not an experienced hiker, Rodrigo was incredibly patient and encouraging. He shared such great information about the area. I would highly recommend this tour because having someone show you around really makes the activity much more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this experience!
Rodrigo was incredibly welcoming and an admirable person! We were genuinely happy to have met him 🫶🏼. He was patient and generously shared a wealth of information, satisfying our curiosity :)
Great views, helpful guide and overall great experience. Definitely worth it, I Would highly recommend booking this experience
Great experience and trail. Great guide who was able to converse and supported the group. Will definitely recommend and the view was perfect!
This was so lovely, I went with my friend and Leon picked us up at Vidigal, him and Daniel took us up to the entrance with help of 2 motorbike drivers, so much fun! Then we hiked up to see the sunset, stopped at several spots with amazing views, Leon took beautiful free pics of us! :) I recommend having a fully charged phone for the way down! You will need light, the trail is not easy even though described as such. And returning in the dark is even trickier. Bring a snack for the Top, you'll need it for strenght. You can buy water on the way at one spot. All together a total adventure, I loved it! Thank you!
We had a great time! Rodrigo is a great person, and very patient when we needed to take breaks. We loved our hike and time there. We felt safe and supported all through the activity. Rodrigo always checked on our group and was very sympathetic overall. The view was beautiful and very worth it. Super recommended!
Rodrigo is a wonderful guide, he took care of us and explained the context around life in Rio. Definitely recommended!!
Amazing guide , super cool guy. Great vibes. Very knowledgeable and fun to be around. 10/10 would book another tour with him
Excellent service, safe, great pictures. Excellent natural views. Hiking took us about 50 minutes but worth the effort. Thank you
This hike is a must do in Rio and easily one of the highlights of my trip. Guia is an amazing and knowledgeable guide. Couldn’t have wished for a better last day of my holidays.
Rodrigo and Beatrix were very helpful and accommodating for my first ever hike. Words can’t describe how much I enjoyed it and I credit it all to them! I would do it again and recommend it to my family and friends.
Absolutely incredible trip with Rodrigo. He is an incredibly knowledgeable tour guide and made us all feel very safe. Our favourite day of our trip, thank you Rodrigo!
As a solo female travelling to Rio alone. I debated whether to book this trip or not. I was not disappointed and felt 100% safe throughout. Unbelievable views, seen monkeys, and an unforgettable experience travelling through Vidigal on motorbike. I’m leaving Rio on high. Thank you Robinson for such a great trip.
I had done the Dois Irmaos hike befor but eally wanted to do it for sunrise. As a female solo traveler I didn't want to do it alone in the middle of the night so I booked this tour and it was great!
Wow! Incredible journey with Rodrigo! If you want the best views of Rio if the beaches, mountains, Christ Redeemer, the favelas, and enjoy being in nature then this is the hike for you! Having grown up in Vidigal, Rodrigo had very interesting stories about the area and his life that only a local would know - awesome vibes. He even took us to a delicious Acai place after the hike! You don’t wanna miss this tour, book it now!
Best hike ever with the best guide in Rio! It was a 1,5hour hike with Rodriguo who was supportive, welcoming & friendly, and gave us lots of tips for visiting Brazil in general! He was very invested, took some amazing pictures and was very helpful in explaining us the different path we could have used for the hike! He is such a sweetheart and the finale was exceptional: he brought us to best Açai place in town. Muito Obrigada for everything Rodriguo!
The best hike you’ll do Rio with the best guide, Rodrigo! I highly recommend this even if you’re a solo traveler as I was. It was the most unique experience of my entire trip and loved it so much that I’m coming back and doing it again with a bigger group of people. The views from the top are simply breathtaking !
Rodrigo was the perfect guide for a wonderful hike. We were a large group but it still felt like an intimate setting! He knew the area incredibly well and made sure each person had a great and safe experience. We all loved it. He also took incredible photos of us along the way! Would never hesitate to book another hike or tour with him.
Wonderful hike for large wedding group. All levels. Reward at the top is an unbelievable view. Knowledgeable and friendly high energy guide happy to give advice about Rio!
A great organized trip up Dois Irmãos. Rodrigo, was a great guide who is knowledgeable and gave us local tips even after the hike.
Fantastic experience! Such a beautiful hike. Our guide was SO nice, knowledgeable, helpful with guiding the older people on the trek, and brought us to his favorite açaí place afterwards. Highly recommend!
Easy hike with a beautiful view. Favela, some parts of Rio, the Christ redeemer… so many things to see and you can even see monkeys if you’re lucky. But the best of all, was our guide Rodrigo. He is very responsive, gives a lot of informations about the place and makes the adventure fun! You can trust him, anywhere you go and no matter the tour you choose to make with him. Even for this tour where you take scooters to cross the favela. I totally recommend it!!
Robinson was a great tour guide and the sunset hike was absolutely beautiful! I would recommend it to anyone! Thank you so much!
Had a great trek for sunrise at the dois irmãos, Rodrigo was amazing sorting this out for us at such short notice. We had a great time with our guide Alex who was very considerate, made sure we were all safe on the tour and takes great photos. Thoroughly recommend this for anyone visiting Rio as the views are amazing. Make sure you book with Rodrigo Indio Tours as you will not be disappointed.
As a female solo traveler, I wanted an easy to medium hike that would have an increíble view or Rio without the crowds. Dois Irmaos was incredible! And Rodrigo was an amazing guide as well. He made the trail hike so fun, enjoyable and help me take amazing picture !! 100/10
What a fantastic trail with the Guide Jessie! Easy going, informative, fantastic views to the Lagoon of Rio de Janeiro, Ipanema Beach and also to the beautiful Pedra da Gavea!
I went for this mini-trek with Rodrigo on my 1st day in Rio and nothing has really beat it for me in the next few weeks. The views are amazing, the motorcycle ride to the top (and even more so down) fun, the route fairly easy, and Rodrigo is just a super friendly, accommodating, and knowledgable and person to be around. Also, in my experience one of the very few guides in Rio that goes that extra mile to provide a unique experience and makes you feel genuinely welcomed. Highly recommended.
The guys who arrange the trip as a solo traveller for me are superb! They keep you updated and during the trip they look after you and make sure you feel safe. It's a must activity if you're into moderate hiking and love to see a good view of Rio de Janeiro at a top mountain! Also if you love nature and want the forest vibe then this is for you.
Such an awesome experience, I hiked with Robinson at sunset and had an unforgettable time. Seeing Rio from the top of the peak is the best reward! Robinson was such a great guide, took great photos and was lovely to chat to. 10/10 experience from communication of details after booking all the way through to making sure I had all the photos after the hike. Highly recommend!
Had so much fun on this hike! Rodrigo is really easy going and it feels like you’re with a friend. He’s patient and gets all the good photos for you too! I would definitely recommend if you’re in Rio to do any hikes with him!
Rodrigo was a great guide for our hike to two brothers peak. We highly recommend him to everyone and will be referring him to anyone we know who will be visiting Rio in the future. Hopefully we will meet up with him again some day.
