Great Experience! - Great experience! Great company! Everything was on time and the experience went exactly as described. The hike was moderately difficult but the views once you get to the top makes it totally worth it!

Worth the hike - We had a blast ! Beware this is not a “cute” hike , this is a real hike that’s requires physical activity! Bring your water and bug spray. Our tour guide was great. The views at the top are unmatched. Will book again.

My mom and I had fun - Definitely got my workout in on the hike but it was worth it! I wore sneakers for the hike but if you have hiking shoes wear those! And bring bug spray.

The best experience - The experience of the Private Service was spectacular, the Claudio Guide was always attentive to any need and went with the necessary implements for any emergency. She took nice pictures and videos, I would definitely recommend them again. Thank you for your professionalism and kindness and for allowing me to accept my last minute booking request

Great views and nice beach! - I had a really good time enjoying this iconic spot almost all to myself! (in the afternoon during low season) Also learned lots of fun facts from my guide Sylvio. Highly recommend this trip, especially if you're are visiting Rio during low season. Just bear in mind the hike is short but high difficulty.

Terrible - Honestly the whole thing was a complete disaster, our guide basically didnt say a word to us the entire trip, he was basically a glorified uber. We passed through architectural and natural landmarks and he never pointed out anything to us. We hiked 40 minutes up to the Pedra in complete silence pretty much. Aside from that, the tour mentions a "wild beach" apparently you have to ASK THE GUIDE TO TAKE YOU before you leave the trail or else he will just not take you. I texted the tour company the night before to know if we had to take anything particular into consideration, they said nope! Just take a swimsuit! (Which is hilarious because the guide never took us to the "wild beach"), but then they fail to mention the fact that you will NOT have access to bathrooms/food for the entirety of the 5-6 hour trip. All in all, dont waste your money, book with another company
