Great experience!

5.00We had such a great time with Sergio! He took us hiking/climbing the Sugarloaf mountain, Pedra da Gavea and finally the Morro Dois Irmaos. Being inexperienced in rock climbing, we worried a bit about that part, but he was super competent and helped us through all difficulties. We felt safe with him and it was an exhilarating experience to reach those peaks in Rio. The views are incredible. He was very knowledgeable about the topography of the city and its vicinity and also about the historical facts related to the place and country. Highly recommended!
Sergio is the Instagram boyfriend you didn't know you needed

5.00I can’t recommend this tour enough. Sergio was the perfect guide - he was able to tailor our adventure to my ability and preferences. I felt completely safe, I learned a lot, and I experienced *the best views* in all of Rio. To top it off, Sergio was the best pretend “Instagram boyfriend” a tourist could ask for - he took absolutely amazing photos from all the angles :)
Must try

5.00Me and my wife hiked to the top of Pedra da Gavea. Sergio was a wonderful host and helped us both feel safe through a few very steep and technical sections. He also gave us a wonderful history of the mountain, Rio, and Brazil and took wonderful photos for us. I would highly recommend adding this trip to your list of activities in Rio! We'll definitely do it again next time we're visiting :)
