Great tour! - Fantastic guide! Safe and well organized excursion! We left Copacabana with an organized transport to reach Rocinha. Rocinha is undoubtedly a special destination to visit and I recommend it to anyone who wants to see Brazil in all its facets!

Incredible experience, very worth it, the guide Juçara who accompanied us on a spectacular tour. It's very worth it - The tour lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes or so, the guide Juçara accompanied us, answering any questions and alerting us about the community

Incredible Experience! An absolute, must do tour with Jucara. Memories for life ❤️ - Omg this was honestly the best experience/ tour so far. We had already seen the Main attractions; Sugar loaf cable car, JC the Redeemer by Train, the Tijuca rainforest etc. The walking 3 hour tour with Jucara is a must do!! Seriously incredible experience of Favela life. We visited 3 areas of the Favela including the school, library, church and last but not least a favela home. Cesar and Jo are so friendly. My daughter (16) and I, Ioved learning about Jucara’s family and life growing up. Her pride and love of her heritage, her donating to the community. Unlike other non native tour guides. She talked of The Favela history, the mandatory government voting system and how people are fined if they don’t vote. We felt really safe, and locals are happy and friendly. The ‘no photo areas’, Jucara explains, how the drug gangs are able to continue in specific areas. This understanding with the police keeps the locals safe. She explains it is safe from theft etc as locals do not steal in the Favela, not in their community. Jucara speaks excellent English and I highly recommend asking for her specifically!! Other tourists have been dissatisfied with Jeep tours and not having the experience we had. This is great value for money. We were collected from Copacabana beach to Rocinha by an arranged Uber. Takes about 30 minutes. Jucara meets you and a return Uber is arranged. I offered to pay for our own Uber home. Jucara said - no it is included. How fabulous is that. This was the best day, this has given us special lifetime memories, to understand Rio life. OBRIGADA! Jucara ❤️❤️ I can’t upload my pics 🤷‍♀️ I will try when back in England

To learn about brasilians a favela tour is a MUST. - Great experience and I think it is a MUST when you visiting RIO DE JANEIRO. Our guide JUCARA was awesome and I felt very safe the whole tour. She grew up in rocinha so she knew what is all about. She did a really a good job.

The best tour here - You haven't really experienced Rio if you haven't taken this particular tour. I don't wanna mess up the spelling of her name but the tour guide and owner is amazing! It was a really good time, worth every penny. Be sure to have cash when you go so you can shop for all the nice things and groceries, I promise it's the best spot for it. I'm sad I wasn't able to get this painting because I forgot my cash. Anyway, dope experience and some of the best views. Love love loved it!
