Spectacular falls short - We did this tour in 4x4 and it was just amazing from start to finish. The tour is already an adventure, with stunning roads and views that cannot be discovered otherwise.
Our guide Álvaro was 10: close, fun, super professional and with an impressive knowledge of the place. In addition, we were surprised with some surprises during the tour, which made the experience even more special.
The climb to Pedra do Telégrafo was impressive: strategic stops for photos, secret corners and moments to enjoy the scenery. And the views from above... unforgettable!
Highly recommended 100%. If you want to visit Pedra do Telegrafo in the best way, this tour is the perfect choice.

Best Experience in Rio! - This experience was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, our host made the entire day feel special and effortless. We explored beaches my friends from Rio haven’t heard of, hiked to breathtaking viewpoints, and enjoyed one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen!
The fact that he provided professional quality photography and GoPro footage was a huge bonus. It’s not just about the places we visited, but also about the memories created, I left with my camera roll full, my heart happy, and a deep appreciation for Rio’s natural beauty. I can’t recommend this experience enough!

We love doing excursions in every country that we have visited and our guide Alvaro is the best guide we have ever had! He has so much passion for his job and he takes care of every single detail during the day! It was our last day and we can't think of a better way to finish our vacation in Brazill! We had an amazing day and I can't thank you enough Alvaro! Keep up the amazing job and we can't wait to get back to come back to Brazil and do another excursion with you!!

Felt like a true local and lived an amazing experience - Álvaro was an amazing guide. He was very insightful and very caring with each one of us. He was very accommodating and kept making us feel special and part of his family by treating us with the most care at every stop in the tour. Alvaro is so kind and he has an amazing vibe. I strongly recommend the tour with him as you will have fun and learn things about Brasil (Alvaro is always looking for any opportunity to teach you something about it). We felt like locals learning about some hidden gems in Rio.

A complete experience - Alvaro is a very organized and prepared guide, that makes all the difference on this tour! Pay attention to every detail and have everything you may need to make the trip more comfortable.
The walk consists of stopping at 3 beaches, there is room to eat at a cute restaurant, a hike to the telegraph stone and the photos taken and edited by Alvaro as part of the tour are very good!

Prepare yourself to be spoiled - This is a 20 out of 10 experience. Alvaro anticipates every one of your needs and makes the trip unforgettable. He’s so proud of what he does and takes care of every single detail. From an excellent car with WIFI, chargers and videos to a little shower to clean up after the beach and Nespresso coffee after lunch. He’s the best.

An unforgettable guided experience: adventure, precision and human warmth - I had the privilege of having a guide who seems to have come out of an unlikely merger between Indiana Jones, MacGyver and Mary Poppins. A unique combination of adventurous spirit, meticulous organization and a rare human sensibility.
From the get-go, each stop was much more than a stop on the road: it became a vital experience. The guide was able to connect with the surroundings and us, offering cultural, historical and sensory details that transformed the tour into a true immersion. On a gastronomic level, he did not limit himself to generic recommendations; he prepared a picnic-type package with local products, carefully selected to taste the authenticity of the place.
During the walk to the Telegraph, his level of attention was exceptional. He made sure at all times of my well-being and that of my two daughters, with a combination of discretion, care and empathy that is not learned, has. And as a golden snap, the day concluded on a terrace to gaze at the sunset with cold beers and a sublime view.
A professional in the fullest sense of the term: competent, attentive, passionate about what he does. But, above all, a person with a delicacy and a human quality that raise the experience far above what was expected.
Rating: 15/10. Impossible to ask for more.

A memorable adventure - I was fortunate to tour with Alvaro and although the weather was not the best, the experience was just wonderful. From the beginning, he was friendly, attentive and very knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed delicious sweets and typical drinks, which added a special and authentic touch to the tour.
We were able to visit beautiful beaches, enjoy an excellent lunch, and despite the fog and some rain, we managed to reach the impressive Telegraph Stone, a walk that was totally worth the effort.
At the end we close with a beautiful view of the sunset.
Thank you for making this day such a memorable adventure. I definitely recommend it!

Amazing Experience!! - We thoroughly enjoyed our day with Alvaro. He is passionate about being a guide and truly wants people to have the best experience ever! He has clearly put a lot of time and effort into planning a perfect day trip, which includes seeing some beautiful beaches and a super fun hike to Telegraph Stone. The day also includes various treats and surprises! As an added bonus, Alvaro is an excellent photographer, so you’ll receive some amazing photos from him. I highly recommend booking this excursion … guaranteed to be one of the absolute highlights of a trip to Rio!!
