A wounderful day with Roberto - We had to the most amazing day with Roberto. It was a highlight of our one month in Brazil to visit the Favela and meet Roberto who shared so much with us. We are extremely grateful for his openness and that he showed us around in his Rio.

Excellent - True experience with many surprises and with an excellent guide . Worth to try it 😎 Rio is more than the Redeemer statue .

Not Like the Movies. It's Safe. Book it!!! - Going into the walking tour I really didn't know what to expect and thought maybe I was going to feel unsafe because of the bad rep associated with favelas in Brazil. I was wrong! My friend and I did our tour with Roberto. Roberto assured us that all the misconceptions and bad reputations given to favelas are not all true. We felt perfectly safe the entire time being with him. We started the tour off with a motorcycle ride up the hill, walked around the Rocinha favela for a good 2 hours to observe everyday life of people and speak with some locals. He explained really well in English the favela's history and ongoing developments and projects in Rocinha. We also got the chance to visit a Capoeira school to watch students perform their traditional Capoeira martial arts. The Capoeira performance was one of my highlights of the tour because I grew up admiring Capoeira and to see it being performed live in front of me was awesome. The entire tour was the highlight of my trip in Rio. I felt like I connected with the experience and life of the people of the favelas because I know what it is like to grow up in poverty. Roberto was a great, calm, peaceful, and cool guide. We were lucky to have him. Thank you Roberto.

A superb insight into a favela - We have just had the most amazing tour with Roberto to Rochinha. Despite conflicting opinions on whether the favela tour is safe or not, we decided a trip to Rio would not be complete without a visit. The trip was insightful and safe thanks to the guide's superb knowledge of the area and workings of Rochinha. The journey to the top was quick, effortless and exciting in equal measures.. The visit to the narrow passages, homes and projects left us feeling we had a good understanding of how life works there. Roberto, was an excellent ambassador for Rochinha and at no point did we feel uncomfortable, intimidated or threatened, as he told us where, when and when not, to photograph. The communication from booking to pick up and post visit was superb. I would not hesitate in recommending Favela Brothers tour to anyone. Many thanks to all concerned 😟

Daniel, our guide, was great. - Daniel. our guide, speaks very good English (self-taught), and was friendly and caring throughout the tour. There was a bit of discomfort at the beginning which quickly went away as Daniel explained how his city works and how safe it is to be there with him. This is a cultural item I would recommend highly to everyone.

Super experience in Rocinha - The tour guide Carlos was really amazing and the experience in the Favela with the Capoeira group was awesome! Overall I totally recommend it - that you really see what is a favela.

Amazing experience - Amazing favela experience with Carlos, our guide. It was very informative, interesting and exciting to walk in the streets of favela. The tour starts with a crazy motorbike ride to the top of it, so be prepared! :)

Great experience - Thanks Roberto for his great service. He is very knowledgeable and caring. It is an eye opening experience for us especially with my teenage son.

Lifetime memory created! - Can’t recommend these guys enough. So attentive. Everything we asked for they went above and beyond to accommodate. Our number one was playing football. We played football with the locals for over 30 minutes. Our tour guide Roberto was legend! Clean energy and all around good guy! Would use them again in a heartbeat

Great adventure - Excellent guide. Carlos showed us the real life in the favela. The progress, as well as the challenges faced by residents
