Fantastic experience - It was an incredible hike, and the views did not disappoint! I would - and will - recommend this to anyone eager for an engaging climb with breathtaking rewards. I was especially lucky to have Fabio as my guide - his knowledge and personality made the experience truly unforgettable.

An amazing way to see Rio! - Really cool hike (plus some scrambling and a bit of rappelling!) It was reasonably challenging but the amazing views made it totally worth it, as did our lovely and very patient guide, Eduardo. The communication and transport by Itaway tours was great too. If you're up for an adventure I'd highly recommend this hike!

Greatest hike ever! - Great experience, you need good physical condition, positive mindset and strength. Private tour is recommended. Odilio was the best tour guide!

Thiago and Igor = BEST guides. - I loved this hike so much and could not have done this without my AMAZING guide Thiago and his buddy Igor. They were incredible, motivating, safe and just good guys. My husband and I are experienced hikers in altitude and long treks. This was hands down the hardest day hike that we have done. The entire earth up is steep climbing. From high stairs, vines, chain ropes, a wall, boulder climbing - it's physically demanding but the added element that increased the difficulty for me was the heat. The heat was brutal and being from California I am not used to hiking in that - Bring Gatorade or electrolytes. That was life saving! The views were totally worth it and Thiago and Igor made me feel so safe and they communicated with me the entire time climbing with a rope. I CANNOT thank them enough! They are the BEST!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND this activity but please make sure you are in shape. This hike is not easy.

Tijuca jungle hike - My hike in Tijuca preserve with my guide, Thiago was incredible! Thiago was knowledgeable and an expert leader throughout the entire hike as well being a super cool dude! I would recommend this adventure to anyone and you’d be very lucky if Thiago winds up being your guide. Paul Foran

A wonderful but challenging hike in Rio! - Thiago was an amazing guide! Full of knowledge and expertise, he made us feel safe, motivated, and cultured learning all about RJ and the surrounding areas. He took great photos of my husband and I and made sure to check in frequently. Be warned! This hike is not for the faint of heart, but was definitely a highlight of our trip so far. 10/10 would recommend. You’ll see wildlife, get the chance to drink natural spring water, and even a dunk at the end in a waterfall! Truly spectacular.

Climbing in the Clouds - Fabio from Itaway Tours was an amazing guide! Incredibly knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Parque Nacional Tijuca, and a great sense of humour too! The hike was beautiful and exotic. We went on a cloudy day so there weren’t any views at the top but we waited about 10 minutes and it cleared up enough for some photos! The rock scramble and rappel is a great fun challenge, highly recommend! Go on a sunny day though, because hiking in rain/electric storms could lead to cancellations. Thank you all!

Great Views! - Great hike up to some of the best views in Rio! We went for a half day and it was perfect for us. Even after experiencing the night life until late the previous night.

Amazing Pedra de Gávea hike - Superbly well organized tour…We did the Pedra De Gávea hike with Thalles and he was amazing. He made sure we went at our own pace, made sure we scaled the climbing parts safely and was also our photographer. He definitely knew the best places to take pictures. We felt safe and taken care of the whole hike, which was definitely strenuous and physically demanding at parts. But once you get to the top, it’s all worth it. Great day, great hike, great guide, and great company to do the tour with.
