- We learned a lot about Tijuca National Park and much about the indigenous vegetation. Bernardo was very patient with us as we hiked up to the "bat cave." The waterfalls were spectacular. We couldn't have had a better guide on this glorious day.

The nature tour was the... - The nature tour was the highlight of our Rio trip. Eduardo was a fun, informative guide who went above and beyond to show us all the beautiful sites. It had rained the day before our tour, so all the beautiful birds were out and about. We got to see waterfalls, tall trees, monkeys, toucans, seven colored birds, the inside of a cave, city views, and so much more. Eduardo knows the trail like the back of his hand. This, along with his stories of his adventures hang gliding and his good photography, made the tour memorable. Thanks, Eduardo!

Great activity, weird experience - The forest was great, great sights and adventures. Really enjoyed all the stops! On the other hand, the guide and company weren’t the best. They contacted me for the first time to let me know my pick up time just 2 hours before the event, even though I booked this like 2 weeks ago. The guide forgot one of the persons of the group in one of the stops, they didn’t realize until her brother (who didn’t notice either, but that’s another subject) mentioned it in the next stop. It was really hard to understand the guide in Spanish or english, but besides that he didn’t guide much, we were looking forward to see some animals, but didn’t see any. Having all these in mind, I would still recommend this activity since I enjoyed the park, I believe this was just an unfortunate event for me I guess they have other guides since they still have great reviews.
