Exceptional view and well organized Trail. - This was the third time we walked Trilha Dois Irmaos. The other two times were more then 10 years ago. Everything was organized well. Rodrigo our guide was punctual and the van was already there. The guide was very helpful and explained things about the trail and had photos on his phone how the surrounding used to be. At the top the view was stunning! The trail is rather easy walk. Once back at the top of Vidigal we took motortaxi to go down. Loved it! Recommend Rodrigo Indio as your guide!

Two Brothers Hike is a memory for a lifetime! - I went with a group of 9, so with our tour guide the group was 10. I thought it would be hard to manage but it was fantastically fun! We got to some stops along the way, where we could take a break and enjoy some views. By the peak of the hike, you can see all of the city, mountains, beaches and favelas to enjoy. Our guide knew the best spots to take photos and was courteous the entire hike. I implore anyone visiting Brazil to take this journey and make a memory of a lifetime.

A great experience! - A great experience! Our guide, Thainá, was super friendly, welcoming and very helpful - we felt comfortable and safe the whole time. The scooter transportation through the favela was particularly practical - a real experience! The hike was well organized, with impressive views over Rio that we won't soon forget. An absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to get to know Rio from a different, authentic perspective!

GREAT SUNSET HIKE AND SAMBA EXPERIENCE - Great late afternoon hike to the summit of the "big brother" for sunset. Rode an itau bike out to the last station near the sheraton and the walked 10 min to the praca. (Meeting point). Easy and safe, lots of people on the walkway. Leonardo my guide was awesome, great guide. The moto bike ride from the praca to the trailhead at the top of vidrigal (and back down afterward) was a blast in and of itself. Hang on tight 😀. The hike was moderate and took about 45 minutes with great views along the way and at the top. On the way back down, we heard the local band rehearsing (for next years carnival!) in a small gym at the top of the favela, and Leo took us in to watch. What an amazing experience. Great 3 hour experience.. Leo, thank you for a great evening!

An Amazing Experience with Rodrigo! - Our hike up Two Brothers (Morro Dois Irmãos) with Rodrigo was one of the highlights of our trip to Rio. He was more than just a guide—he shared real stories and gave us a deeper understanding of the city and its culture. Rodrigo lived in the favela near the trail for five years, and his experience gave us a unique perspective. As we walked, he told us about life there, the sense of community, and how it shaped his view of Rio. And the view at the top? Absolutely unforgettable. Standing above the city, with panoramic views of Ipanema, Leblon, the lagoon, and even Christ the Redeemer in the distance—it was one of those moments that takes your breath away. Photos just don’t do it justice. What made it even better was hearing Rodrigo share what that view meant to him and how it connects different parts of Rio—both geographically and culturally. If you want more than just a hike—if you want to learn about the real Rio and take in one of the best views in the city—Rodrigo is the guide for you. Highly recommended!

A point of view worth it! - The hike to the top of the Dois Irmãos is really worth it! The view upstairs is beautiful, and I was lucky enough to be there for sunset, with a great guide (Leo) who accompanied me very well from start to finish, and who also took great photos!

Disappointing - A disappointment, a couple of years ago I had a good experience with him through airbnb, so this year I went back to Rio and decided to arrange directly. He met me at a certain time, I arrived and there was no one, I sent him a message and 30 minutes later he replied that the guide would not be able to go, he told me that he could check if in 30 more minutes he could get another guide and it no longer made sense, since it was dark so he would not be able to do the excursion well. I find it irresponsible that having an enterprise, even though it is not directly your fault, is not keeping track of whether or not your partners or employees are actually doing their job. I still didn't get my refund.
