Testimonials

Customer Testimonials:

  • It was a great experience! We have been a group of three guys. We got picked up at our hotel on Copacabana, drove together to Vidigal and then on a MotoTaxi to the trailhead. We had a beautiful sunrise above Rio.
    Justus GermanyClient
  • Our tour was the best! We were picked up at our hotel on time and the ride to Dona Marta was very comfortable. Andrea was an excellent tour guide, telling us so many interesting facts and information about Rio de Janeiro. She made sure we had great pictures and videos by securing the perfect spots for us at the site. She was very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly. Highly recommended! Next time we’re in Rio, we will surely take a tour with her again!
    Carol United StatesClient
  • We had an amazing morning hiking with Andrea. We were collected from our hotel by taxi and then got to experience travelling like a local on a motorbike up the hill to the base of The Two Brothers. A moderate hour’s walk up to the top to watch the sun rise over the city was a beautiful end and we saw some stunning views. The whole trip had perfect picture opportunities. Andrea is very passionate about Rio and has fantastic knowledge, speaks perfect English and was very attentive. Can’t recommend enough and you will not be disappointed by the sunrise!
    Adam United KingdomClient
  • Our tour in Rio was better than I expected. Andrea, the organizer, wasn’t just our tour guide — she felt like a very good friend. The atmosphere she created was incredible, and she also took such beautiful photos of us. I would do it all over again! Best guide ever!
    Anna GermanyClient
  • Amazing activity in Rio, go in with your eyes closed. A wonderful hour-long climb through the forest, and if you go at night for the sunrise, the view over Rio is breathtaking! Magic guide with a vibe that comes through right away! You won’t be disappointed, I’d stake my hand on it!!
