Safe, fun, and unique experience! - Never expected that we could get a chance to get to Favela. It was absolutely fun, interesting and unique experience. Our guide Carlos was professional and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour! Totally safe too :) ファベーラツアーに5名で参加しました。 安全で、ファベーラ内のアーティストさんに会えたり、コミュニティセンターに行けたりと、すごく貴重な体験でした。 値段は決して安いとは言えませんが、安全にツアーに参加できるので実際に参加すると値段以上の経験ができます。 サンパウロに訪れた際はぜひ体験してみてください!

Fantastic stay at Hotel de l'Horloge, Avignon. - This wonderful hotel in the centre of the old city of Avignon is highly recommended. Friendly helpful staff, clean and comfortable room and close to everything you need. Stayed 10 days in a Privilege Room with Terrace - just brilliant to come back to after a day of sightseeing. Lots of room and added bonus of being outside on a rooftop with views of the old city. Great value for money. Well done Hotel de l'Horloge.

A wonderful tour highlighting much to admire - I went with my family, including two children, ages 8 and 10. This may have been the highlight of our trip to Brazil! Marcio was a wonderful guide, and the tour is well designed to highlight the special positive features of the favela. The art was breathtaking.

Favella! Yes!! - My wife and I toured the Paraisópolis favella with Adi and two local residents. Adi and the other guides and tour were fantastic!! We met the mayor of the favella and had our picture taken with him. We toured the streets and learned how the residents are working to improve their lives. We spent time in the favella home of a artist whose home was ornate and grand and amazing. We had lunch in the favella with our guides and it was delicious! I would highly recommend this favella tour to anyone wanting to gain a better understanding of favellas. You will be inspired by their warmth and intimate community.

Great tour, but wrong title - The tour was very nice and interesting, with Bruno being an absolutely fantastic guide. We give 4 out of 5 stars, because we feel the tour is marketed wrongly. You do go in the favela, but actually that part is very short and you only visit 2 or 3 places. We thought we would walk around more in the streets to try and get some feeling of what “life in the favela” means. That being said, we still had a great time with an interesting tour, much of it thanks to Bruno!
