We had such a wonderful experience with Carolina! ❤️ She was incredibly kind and professional, and she made us feel safe and welcome throughout the entire tour. Carolina shared fascinating stories and gave us a much deeper insight into life in the favelas and the local community. Her passion, warmth, and genuine personality made the experience truly special. I would absolutely recommend this tour, especially with Carolina as a guide. Thank you, Carolina, for such a memorable experience! 🇧🇷❤️
Really cool informative tour! Went round the whole favela and Carlos was so good with everything, explaining everything
I wanted to say I had an incredible tour from Juçara Maria!! She was very friendly, very communicative and helpful and support with anything. She brought us up through the favela exploring and gave his a lot of information about the cultures, people and history of rocinha of Brazil. You’ll get to see a lot of things so I would definitely highly recommend booking with her!! 😊
Sofia was excellent, very nice and very informative, I would recommend
I had such an amazing time on this experience! It was so much fun, exciting, and truly unforgettable. One of my favorite parts was meeting new people and getting to experience one of Rio’s most iconic places with a local. Our guide, Maria Clara, was absolutely wonderful. She was always attentive, caring, and making sure we were having a great time while also keeping us safe throughout the entire experience. You could really tell that she cared about making sure everyone felt comfortable and enjoyed the day. I honestly loved being able to explore the favela with someone who is local and could give us a more authentic experience and perspective. Maria Clara made the experience even more special with her kindness and great energy. I highly recommend this experience, especially if you want to see a different and authentic side of Rio de Janeiro. I would definitely do it again! ❤️🇧🇷
Sofia is an amazing guide. We loved the tour and got an amazing insight into life in the favela!
Very thorough experience with a lot of information and local guide
Jussara os a great guide. Kind, knowledgeable and attemptive
Extremely interesting experience, Sara was great.
The guide Sophia was lovely but honestly apart from seeing nice landscapes there’s not much information which is shared about the community or the history of the favela. You’re asked to give money at each stop so it feels more of a tourist trap
Juçara has been an excellent guide, she answers all your questions and takes photos whenever possible.
Amazing experience with our guide. Organized, great communication, local experiences. She gave us wonderful explainations and historical context. Thank you Jucara
Awesome experience! You get to know all the places of Rocinha
Juçara was such a gem she was so so nice and sweet she tough us so much about the favela.
really lovely tour guide and such a pleasing outlook on culture and music - juçara is such a sweet and polite lady, very warming and funny :)
Very insightful and fun both the Veiws and experience were fantastic would definitely recommend if you are looking for a good tour and to learn more about Brazil
Great tour - very safe. Personalized experience from a local with excellent English. We got a great understanding of life in Rocinha. This is a thriving neighbourhood !
Had an amazing experience with our tour. Our tour guide, jucara, was great and very patient with our late arrival. She was fantastic!
Amazing and authentic experience with Juçara
It’s interesting to learn about local culture and the diversity of the city. Rocinha is the most popular favela of the city!
Juçara was incredibly kind, courteous, and above all very patient! I recommend this tour without any hesitation! Muito obrigado! Gracias! Thank you!
Super experience! Local Guide Jucara was the best, she knew all about Rocinha! We had a few stops in favela; photos,capoeira with favela kids, trying tipical snacks in the bakery…. Thank you ❤️❤️❤️
Amazing experience. Very informative. Would definitely like to come back. great experience that shows the favela culture.
It was a wonderful experience, from the motorcycle ride, the capoeira show (fantastic), and the trip to the terrace. May God bless Rocinha!
It was a very pleasant experience. I was with a girlfriend and felt very safe. Our guide was very friendly and explained everything very well.
Highly recommended. Many thanks to the guide Ana Beatriz. Everyone was very kind.
The guide was very informative, answered all our questions, and spoke quite good English. We were very pleased!
Our tour guide Clara made the visit to the Rocinha favela an immersive experience. With her open-minded and cheerful nature, she led us right through her favela and told us many exciting general and also personal details about the history and life in the Rocinha community in perfect English and Spanish. We felt in great hands from the beginning and safe throughout, which was also due to the fact that Clara always explained exactly in which streets you were allowed to take photos and where your phone had to stay in your pocket. The motorcycle taxi ride at the beginning of the tour to the top of the favela was also perfectly organized. At the viewpoints, we were always given enough time to take photos and to look at the panorama over the favela in peace. The visit to the social project "Capoeira," where three children interactively introduced us to the Brazilian martial dance, was also particularly impressive. We would highly recommend the favela tour with Jupiter Tour and especially with Clara.
Very good service.. I don't know the other guides, but we got Priscila, who is the best one we could have gotten... explaining every detail of how Rocinha was formed from its beginnings and explaining every sector to perfection.. highly recommended.. if you can choose her as a guide, even better.. regards
Fantastic experience with a very professional and friendly guide who introduced us to the history and all the details of the Rocinha favela!
Great tour! A must-do!
It was really fun, I did a cartwheel, there was a cute little dog, and the people were super nice, would do it again.
Great tour of the Rocinha Favela
Clara, the best guide we could have found! Thank you for making us live and feel so many emotions! Martina and Steve
A truly interesting Rochina tour that allowed us to learn about an important part of Rio, also witnessing a capoeira show. The guide, Nicolas, is truly skilled and professional, as well as very knowledgeable.
A highly recommended experience. Our guide was Juçara Aquino and she was always very attentive to everything and explained things very well, a 10.
Juçara was a good guide, the tour was entertaining.
Great experience. With the engines up very nice.
Special experience. A little insight into how people live here
It was a very beautiful experience, we first took a motorcycle tour, before setting off on foot, we were lucky enough to see a very impressive capoeira troupe! The guide was great and we learned a lot about Rocinha, thanks again :)
Sweet and incredibly good authentic story about life in the favela where she herself grew up and lived. She is good at English and very safe to walk around with
We lived the moment in total immersion. Jupiter is the agency to go with. He is a local guide. We recommend Jupiter with your eyes closed for a safe experience.
It was a fantastic experience, the place very interesting and full of life 5 out of 5
We did the tour in 4 with Juçara a very nice welcoming and prepared guide!! He greeted us at the meeting point and then took us to the motorcycles that took us to a scenic point, after we went to a small school in capoeira on a terrace with a breathtaking view, in which we were welcomed by two boys and a woman. We attended a capoeira performance and then we all danced together! Beautiful also the video experience with the drone! Highly recommended!!
Great experience with juçara in the favela of Rocinha. Capoeira and samba lesson with very nice guys and visual with favela history All very interesting and pleasant Highly recommended!
We were inside the favelas rocinha with a spectacular guide Juçara..... a mink more internal than that is difficult.... experience to do absolutely and in total safety
An experience to do absolutely, the guide is very competent, and is also very safe. It is a very suggestive experience.
Don’t miss the opportunity to book this tour of the Rocinha favela with the Jupiter Tour! Highly recommended local guide. The walk was amazing. Climbing from a motortaxi to the top of the cliff was a wonderful experience. Our guide told about the history of the favelas We walked alleys, we took amazing photos on the terraces I recommend!
Experiencing the Rocinha favela with Juçara, a local guide, was absolutely amazing! From the moment we met her, it became clear how much our guide is deeply in love with Rocinha and its history. She took time to show us the key points, share fascinating stories from her childhood to the present, and paint a vivid picture of life in the Rocinha. His knowledge and storytelling gave life to the experience in a revealing and unforgettable way. What really stood out was his warm and vibrant personality. The motorcycle ride was also a milestone! I loved. She made everyone in the group who watched her tour feel connected, and made sure we all had amazing moments His energy, kindness and fun spirit have made this experience much more than just a guided visit. This is absolutely mandatory when visiting Rio de Janeiro! Thank you very much Juçara for sharing your world with us and for creating such a special memory. I recommend 100% the trip with the Jupiter Tour
