Amazing experience - Amazing experience and Jessie was a great guide! Worth getting up that early in the morning for this excursion. You get the best pictures with an unreal view of Rio

Amazing hike - Amazing experience from start to finish. The guide Jessie was fantastic and took amazing photos the whole way up. The view from the top was insane. Well worth every penny and the early start.

This was such a beautiful... - This was such a beautiful hike!!! Our guide was really wonderful, and was very kind when my partner was struggling some with the pace. We definitely felt better doing it with a guide, and the views at the top were SO worth it.

Sunrise Hike in Rio - Facu and Jesse were great hosts for our group. The sunrise hike was great with stellar views of Rio. It’s a moderate hike so wear shoes with good grip.

Rio - Our experience with this agency was unacceptable from start to finish. We booked a Dois Irmãos guided tour specifically advertised as conducted in English, yet upon arrival we were casually informed that no English-speaking guide was available and that ours spoke only Spanish or Portuguese. This is not a minor inconvenience — it is a complete failure to deliver the core service we paid for. As a result, communication during the tour was extremely limited. The guide provided virtually no explanations, context, or insight, and contributed nothing beyond pointing out an obvious trail that is clearly marked and easy to follow independently. In practical terms, we paid a premium price for something we could have done alone for free. What is most concerning is the company’s attitude afterward. When I contacted them to request a refund for the service they failed to provide, they refused to take responsibility and instead blamed the situation on their inability to reach me by phone — despite having other obvious ways to contact me, such as email. This response shows a complete lack of professionalism and accountability. We deliberately chose this agency over cheaper alternatives because we expected reliability and quality. Instead, we didn’t even receive the most basic element promised. I strongly advise others to look elsewhere unless they are willing to risk paying more for less.

Poor instructions and communication - Be careful with this company. Very unprofessional. They said the hike was at 3am and they failed to message us and tell us about a time change at 2am. Better find another company.

Didn’t bother to show up - The guide never showed up and didn’t bother to call me until I reached out to her. Her excuse was that she couldn’t get an Uber on time, but that shouldn’t have stopped her from notifying me. Our meeting point was a favela at 3am. She knew this and still didn’t make an effort to notify us on time, which could have avoided us driving there.
