Amazing experience with the best guide EVER - This was honestly an amazing tour, exploring the natural spaces of Rio! However I must mention that nothing would be as great if it wasn’t for Mario (Gabriel Ladeira) who is easily the best guide I’ve ever had. He kept talking to us and informing us on all things about the city and Brazil, we shared lots of laughter and he’s been the best help and the greatest company. We even met with him the da after the tour to spend some more time together, already a true friend of ours! Thanks for everything you done for us ❤️

Highly recommend fun Jeep Tour! - We had such a fun time and our tour guide, Gabriel Ladeira, made our trip especially wonderful. Gabriel was incredibly knowledgeable and very passionate about sharing information. We learned so much from him! The jeep was super cool too. Lots of fun, not too much air but enough to make you feel like it was indeed a Jeep ride... which is what we wanted. Fortunately, I knew to bring a hat, hair tie, and sunscreen. The tour company was extremely communicative as I'd only purchased the trip the day before. They promptly communicated by Whats App and kept me informed. They were incredibly generous to make an accommodation for our pick up. Since we are in Rio visiting family, we were not near the typical hotels. The Jeep arrived early and fortunately, so did we so we were promptly off!! It was awesome and we made friends with the other tourists as well. We were picked up around 8:40 and from beginning to end was at least 4 hours. Unfortunately, we did not see any animals other than butterflies, but that is not the fault of the Tour. Still, the easy hike through the jungle was fun and it was nevertheless stunning and beautiful. Crowds were minimal and the cost was great too, especially as I had a TripAdvisor coupon. The views were amazing and I was really happy to see things that I would otherwise not have seen or learned about.

Well worth doing - Fantastic Jane the groups guide showed us around the national park point loads of the fauna and explained the history of the park in great detail and enthusiasm which rubbed off on all of us. Also while travelling around picking others up from there hotels Jane told us about other places on route. Our drive was very good and drove at a very safe speed where you felt safe with him behind the wheel.

Fantastic -- do it! - Even though it was raining a little bit and so the views were not as good, we had a really great time. The Tournay waterfall was very full flowing. Our guide, his name is escaping me, was absolutely fantastic. He was knowledgeable, clearly passionate about the forest and history. We saw a pair of toucans near the Vista Chinesa! Minimal walking on this tour, which was good because my daughter has a torn ACL. Would love to come back and hike more in Tijuca. Absolutely worth it!

Hiking Experience - It was a nice experience, mainly the waterfalls. I did not expect to go on hiking trails as I was not prepared for that. So be sure to wear some old sneakers, pack a small rain jacket and some snacks plus water. And eat before you start the excursion also!
