The best way to discover Tijuca Park - Super recommend this trail with Thomas! We saw caves, waterfalls, and various animals native to the Atlantic Forest, and also learned about the history of the Park and the Forest :)

Beautiful and interesting hike with cooling off in the waterfall - The hike with Thomas through Tijuca National Park was very special. I was lucky enough to have a private tour that Monday, so Thomas was able to take into account my wishes for the route. I have seen beautiful waterfalls (with welcome cooling off) and caves, watched a group of monkeys play and also learned a lot. Thomas has a very extensive knowledge of the fauna and flora and is an incredibly empathetic guide. I had a lot of fun and thank you for the wonderful day, next time I might be climbing;-)!

Super tour of the Tijuca - We absolutely loved the tour with Thomas. He led the tour with passion. He enthusiastically described the nature, but also the history of Brazil. we also loved that he flexibly oriented the tour according to the group. We definitely decided on the right tour and would recommend it to anyone!

No disappointment here - Fabulous tour! It was educational, fun and energizing! Thomas made contact with me just after my booking and stayed in touch before , during and after my tour. He was helpful with giving directions with transport. As this was my first time in Rio his help in this way was greatly appreciated!! The love of this area is demonstrated in his knowledge sharing and excitenent. He found and pointed out many insects, plants, animals and shared historical background of the area. Things I would not have otherwise learned I did today by having Thomas as my guide. He answered all but one of my 50 questions😂 The bonus was the exercise in the hike and he shared the photos he took via a link. What a wonderful day! I’d definitely book with Thomas again for a different tour but I’m heading off already tomorrow to Peru. You’ll be pleased if you hire Thomas for a tour and will gain the presence of a jewel of a person and guide for a half day.

Fun exploration activity - Really beautiful hike with caves and waterfalls. Great opportunities were awesome photos. Decently difficult hike that can be customized based on your activity level. The guide was informative and offered walking sticks, which were helpful. Definitely bring bug spray. The beginning of the park has a lot of mosquitoes, but the vast majority was fine.
