Highly recommended. - Our tour guide Jonatas was amazing and took us to all the scenic stops. We even visited some locals of the Santa Marta Favela in their home. Then there was a show that some kids put out for us as a welcome to their beautiful favela. Highly recommended.

Great Guide! - Started off shaky the company not the guide but the company themselves gave me the wrong address. So I ended up an hour away. However, once I got there the tour was amazing. The guide knew the area well and explain everything. I would say if you go be prepared to climb many stairs

More than expected. Maria Salete is a great guide. If you love MJ, you're gonna love this. - This place has its own magic. We even danced to "They don't care about us" and walked the path of The King of Pop.

Favela tour - It was an unique experience.
Our guide took us to see this Favela inside and I think it was the most important experience. Walking through the path that Michael Jackson went was also very interesting. Overall great experience, tour guide was very helpful.

DON’T WASTE YOUR MONEY! - What a complete waste of time. I learnt more about favellas by watching YouTube. Spend more time at Ipanema to watch the beautiful sunset FOR FREE.
