Yes ! - Everything was perfect ! Starting off with great communication, they were flexible with our schedule and worked with us. The Tour Guide was so knowledgeable and felt so welcoming. and on top of all this, he was taking great videos and pictures off guard of us. Look no further just booked with them. You will not regret it.

Best tour in rio - We would like to thank Eduardo and Larissa for such an amazing day!! Our trip started on time we chose to go on a wednesday 1 pm, the photo points were super calm and immediately we saw a group of monkeys and a sloth. Eduardo spotted them and we stopped to check them out. Then in the park we saw tucan others monkeys we walked through the park and chatted the whole time. We visited amazing caves they created beautiful photos of us in the views and caves, they are very fun and we totally recommend their tour! Eduardo and Larissa you guys are sooo cool thanks for everything

Fantastic views, hikes and times with Eduardo! - Eduardo was a fantastic guide through the Tijuaca Forest. We didn’t feel like we were on a tour, it felt like we were hanging out with a family friend. He took us to beautiful spots in the forest and helped us take some breathtaking photos. We would highly recommend visiting the forest with Eduardo.

Great tour guide! - Eduardo was such a funny, knowledgeable, experienced, and kind guide. He also takes great pictures! The weather wasn’t great (it was really cloudy) so we didn’t have a great view at the view points he wanted to take us to. I still had so much fun!

Tijuca Rainforest hike with Victor - We did the 5-hour Tijuca Rainforest hike with Victor and had an excellent experience. Despite rain preventing access to Sector A, Victor quickly adjusted the plan and took us to several beautiful waterfalls instead. This is a challenging hike requiring good fitness and comfort with uneven terrain, but it was incredibly rewarding. Victor is a knowledgeable, experienced, and safety-focused guide who knows the forest extremely well. Highly recommend for anyone wanting a real rainforest experience.
