Unforgettable experience in the Rocinha Favela - This tour was AMAZING! Before travelling to Rio, I wasn’t sure I wanted to do a favela tour. I was reading mixed reviews about going to a favela and as a worrier, I was really anxious to go. My boyfriend really wanted to do it and that’s why we booked. We found Marco when we were watching YouTube videos on Rio and I am so glad we did! Right up until we arrived, I was ready to cancel and as soon as we met him, my worries disappeared! He is really friendly, easy to talk to and funny. The experience itself was great from start to finish. Seeing Rocinha and meeting the locals was eye opening and I would urge anyone to give the experience a go when visiting Rio, especially if you book via Marco. He made it even better, gave us loads of interesting information about the favelas and we had such a fun day. You also get to see the impact booking these tours has on the local’s lives. It was our first full day in Rio and it set us up for what was an amazing trip. Thank you 🙏🏻

Fantastic experience! - It was a fantastic experience! The guide Yasmin is very concerned, friendly and intelligent, it was great to have her with us that day and have learned so much from the information and curiosities that she passed us. She takes great photos also kkkk :) We ended the tour with a great desire to return. I highly recommend!

A must for a trip to Rio de Janeiro - It was a spectacular and unique experience that I recommend to anyone planning a trip to Rio de Janeiro. Communication with RioNamoral was reliable and professional. Our fantastic guide, Clara, explained a lot about life in the favela. She inspired us, thank you very much for that.

Beyond the Stereotypes at Rocinha with RioNamoral - I had an amazing experience touring Favela da Rocinha with RioNamoral. The guide was knowledgeable, respectful, and gave us a real insight into the community’s culture, resilience, and daily life. It felt authentic, safe, and genuinely eye-opening. I’d highly recommend RioNamoral to anyone looking to see the real Rio with honesty and heart.
