5.00Andrea made us live a unique experience in total safety, despite our initial fears. Living the favela and getting to know the people who live there was wonderful and touching. Very happy to have done it and to have done it together with Andrea.

5.00Andrea is a special guide! We did the three-hour tour with him in the Rocinha favela and it was one of the most significant experiences of our lives. I highly recommend booking this excursion with him because he is 100% professional (like all his staff) and because he puts heart and passion into everything he does. With him you will feel safe from the first moment and you will return home enriched.
FABULOUS

5.00After some internet searches for a tour of the favelas, I found Andrea, an Italian in Rio. A quick exchange of messages and his education, availability and empathy immediately convinced me. The tour lasts more than 3 hours, and from start to finish Andrea is always attentive, present and explains everything with love and patience. He knows the favela well. You go up on a motorcycle and then you go down on foot through the heart of the favela. It seems to be with a friend you have known for a long time and who wants to convey the love for this place. Great tour, I recommend it
