A very well managed and unique experience. Everything ran very smoothly and Anderson was very accommodating to everyone's abilities. He made us feel safe and in good hands; he is very experienced and knowledgeable! Safety is the top priority, and we felt that with Anderson. Thank you!

Awesome guide. Knows his stuff and is super welcoming. I felt confident with him and he took us to a nice part of the crowded mountain top.

Anderson is a very considerate guide. He prepares, but not uptight. Very communicative and adheres to your needs. Will definitely recommend booking him!

Wow, what an 10/10 experience - if you have any doubts, please just book it. Anderson is one of the best guides we've ever had. He is so caring, funny and knowledgeable. The hike had some slippery parts but Anderson managed it perfectly to get us up and down safely. We felt 100% safe all the time. At the top it was quite crowded but he managed to get us to a spot where we almost were on our own. The view is just incredible! In the end he even gave us a little favela tour. The hike was so well organized - thank you so much Anderson. It's an unforgettable experience and we are so happy to share it with you Anderson 🌻
