We also visited a rooftop at the top of the favela, with amazing views, and we descended the favela on foot through alleys and alleys, which have stairs and some narrow areas — something common in a favela — allowing you to experience the routine and energy of the place.

5.00Our experience with the Beto guide was simply 10/10! Beto knows Rio de Janeiro from all possible angles and thanks to him we were able to discover the city in a truly exceptional way. He shared with us many knowledge, stories and amazing tips that made each visit even more interesting and special. In addition to being extremely kind, attentive and professional, he also takes wonderful photos! The photos were simply amazing and turned our trip into unforgettable memories. Thanks to his talent, we came home with unique memories and perfect records of this wonderful experience in Rio. We recommend the Beto with closed eyes for those who want to live Rio in an authentic, complete and unforgettable way. Thank you for everything!

5.00We made a tour of the Rocinha with the guide Gabriel and it was an incredible experience. From the beginning he showed a lot of knowledge about the history of the community, explaining in a clear and interesting way how the Rocinha developed over the years. Gabriel was always very professional, friendly and respectful with the locals, which made the visit authentic. Rather than just a tourist tour, we felt we really learned about the culture, the day-to-day and the challenges of the community. He also answered all our questions with a lot of patience and brought various curiosities that we would not find easily on guides or on the internet. We highly recommend taking the tour with Gabriel. It was undoubtedly one of the most significant moments of our visit to Rio de Janeiro.

5.00The guides picked us up on time and at meeting point. We made our way up favela in moto which was one of the best parts. I never felt unsafe as I followed instructions and didn’t record or have my phone out when I was told not to. The families who allowed us on their rooftops for vantage points and drone footage were also very welcoming and friendly. 10/10, this experience is a must if you’re in Rio!!
I loved the Tour!
