This tour was brilliant. Alex was amazing to deal with, grew up in Rocinha so is very knowledgeable and great at explaining the history and culture of Rio's largest favela. Alex made sure we felt safe throughout and it was lovely interacting with the local community. The tour started with a ride to the top of the Rocinha and we then walked down through the winding streets, stopping at various shops and spots for the views. We'd highly recommend this tour with Alex if you are visiting Rio!
