Rocinha Favela Visit - The tour was organized very well. We felt at all times very safe and our tour guide -Wellington-answered all our questions and explained the concept of a favela perfectly and was at the same time really motivated and dedicated to the tour and our experience. A must-see experience when in Rio/Brazil to at least beginn to understand the culture.

Valuable information - I love the tour so much. The information ES very complete and very interesting. The guides wait for you and show you iconic places.

The walking tour was so... - The walking tour was so interesting. Our guide lives there and told us all of the ins and outs of the Favala. He was always making sure that we felt safe and provided the history around the Favalas.

Awesome and Eyeopening Experience! - Wear comfortable walking shoes - going up is bit more strenuous than going down. Be cognizant that you are being allowed to experience the culture and lifestyle of the inhabitants of the favela. Be respectful, especially when it come to pictures and recordings!!

Fabulous experience - fantastic view of the favela area thanks to our guide Wellingotn. so knowledgeable and full of information

The tour was a really... - The tour was a really enlightening experience that really helped contextualize Rio. Daniel was an amazing guide and we felt safe and informed at all times.

An amazing last minute tour! - Our tour guide, Wellington, was awesome! He gave us amazing information and brought us to some great places to eat, drink, and hang. For anyone visiting, go with an open mind and a willingness to see life through another's eyes. What you'll find is that life is magnificent, fast, and beautiful. You'll meet locals, have time to get food and shop, and get to appreciate the true beauty of life in the Favelas. My husband and I found life there to be its own work of art. And it's a form of art the we personally loved. We had so much fun and would go back again. It was truly captivating and the highlight of our trip. It's going to sound silly, but my favorite part was looking at the electrical wiring, it was just very pretty to me! Ps, best drinks in Rio 🧉🧉🧉they be doing heavy pours Again, I would not recommend you go if you are not open minded or if you are going to be judgemental. You are visiting a place that thousands call home. Be respectful of the people and be appreciative that they've welcomed you into their home. And most importantly- TIP YOUR GUIDES!!!! None of the Europeans on our tour tipped, and that's not cool. They tip in Brazil! Fellow Americans - tip your guides like you'd tip your guides in the states. Don't be cheap! Other advice, wear good walking shoes and be prepared to walk a lot of steps. If you have issues walking I would not recommend going. Also I'd recommend dressing down. I was dressed up and was fine it was more so that my long skirt made walking the steps more difficult.

The tour was very eye... - The tour was very eye opening and our guide Wellington did a great job giving us the real background the of the amazing people from Rocinha. Highly recommend!

Interesting tour - Nice guide, interesting tour, but with "mandatory visits", for example to "voluntarily" making music and dancing children.
