- Me and my 10-year-old son had an excellent experience on the guided tour to climb the Pedra da Gávea. My special thanks to Jhyan for the professionalism and care of my son, a great guide, who passed us all the safety to enjoy the role to the fullest. Thank you and success to you!

One of the best trails of life! - We made the Gávea stone climbing track with the guide Jhyan Lima and it was one of the most impressive eco adventure experiences of my life! The climb has amazing views of the western area (bar / recreation area) and on top impressive views of the whole southern area and Guanabara Bay. The climb has climbing stretch with equipment but it was a success! On the descent there is a small stretch of rapel that was pretty cool too. But one of the highlights of the tour are the photos, which became sensational. Super recommend for those who want a different activity in Rio de Janeiro!!

The best experience! - The experience was wonderful! We went with the guide Jhyan and he was very patient and helpful throughout the entire journey. Very well prepared, he gave us nail clippers and sandpaper because we were having problems with our nails lol The next trail is already scheduled with Rio Radical in January/24 ☺️

Good but the guide could have passed more security in the Carrasqueira part. - I did the stone trail with guide Jean. Overall, everything was ok. But at the moment of the carrasqueira, the most difficult part of the track, I felt that he did not pass me enough security. The explanations were quick. Since this is the most frightening moment, he should have been more careful. On the descent, on the rapel part, I got scared too. But the guide who was assisting in the descent (I think it was Bulha his name), was very requested, gave me clear directions and passed a lot of safety, in the end it was super quiet! Overall, I believe the guide could have spent more safety on the carrasqueira rise, the most essential part of having a guide on the track.

negative recommendation, Lukas guide. - I bought a trip to the trail to the viewpoint Pedra da Gávea. Unfortunately, we encountered a very inappropriate and unprepared guide. I don't know why such people are employed and are responsible for guiding tourists around the hill. What a lack of professionalism and any customer service. Lukas was incredibly arrogant, irritating, and ignorant. He didn't give a damn about the group of eight people at all. He moved around independently, and when someone fell behind because they were tired, he would irritatingly stand leaning against a tree, phone in hand, waiting for someone to graciously join the group.. He made strange faces when asked any questions or comments about dissatisfaction from a client. I felt no support, commitment, or safety or care in his company.. This is the wrong person for the job. I don't know why, perhaps it's his age or lack of enthusiasm. But I strongly advise against and do not recommend this company, and especially not this guide.. When hiring a guide, tourists have certain expectations: safety, psychological comfort, contentment, satisfaction, and the joy of exploring the place. Unfortunately, Lukas turned out to be such a terrible guide, he mocked us and gossiped about us with his friends, the other guides. There were many groups on the route at the same time, mindlessly pushing their way up the dangerous, steep hill. Lukas didn't care. Don't buy trail attractions from them. It's a waste of money. Find another company, a reliable one.
