great hike and amazing views!! - fabio was an amazing instructor! it was a wonderful hike with amazing views, he’s very patient and knowledgeable. great tour!!!

Great hike and views - The guide was great and the end point was beautiful with lots of opportunity for one of a kind photos. The hike was difficult for me and I would suggest a walking stick and shoes with really good traction, because some areas were more slick than prior hikes I’ve been on. But, completely worth it and a unique experience.

Perfect sunrise experience - The sunrise views were amazing and it was good to escape the majority of the crowds. Afterwards we stopped along a few beaches and had acai for breakfast. I loved that the guide didn't rush our small group and there was more than enough time to enjoy the coastline. Recommend very much!

fun hiking tour! - amazing your! very friendly guide and informative we had fun! we would recommend this to friends when they visit rio!!!

Highly recommended. A+++ - Awesome guide and hike. Unfortunately cloudy day but the air and view was still well worth the sweat. Will definitely come back either for sunrise or sunset!

Amazing Service & Experience. - This was an excellent experience. Reservation was simple and efficient. Daniel was very good with prompt communication. We did the afternoon tour and it ended up being my wife and I. The hike up is quite something, especially in the afternoon heat but, Alex our guide was a gem. So patient, encouraged us up the hill. Volunteered to to take pictures with our phone for us when we were up there. He is quite the photographer and caught some great moments. Translated with the 'photographer' that was there. The view is spectacular. We were very tired after travelling all day and then doing the tour so we passed on the beach stops even though Alex was ready to do it. Definitely recommend!

Best views & nature of Rio! - Eduardo was amazing! He picked us up at 5:00am, and it was just my daughter and I on our tour. Although we started the hike early, it was worth it because we got great pictures/views without waiting in line. Everyone was coming up while we were heading down. The hike was very doable with beautiful picture spots along the way. Eduardo knew the best place to park and how to get amazing pictures and videos.😊 He was very knowledgeable about all topics and even taught us some Portuguese. His English was great!! The beaches were gorgeous and we HIGHLY RECOMMEND this tour!

Best Views and Tourguide! - We had a Great time on our Hike up to the top of the Mountain to see the beautiful views as well as the Pedra de Telegrafo. Our tour guide Claudio is the best. He made the hike and experience much more easy and relaxing.

Jalmir, You’re a badass - An amazing trip! Jalmir will act like he’s not comfortable talking English, but don’t let him be shy, he’s extremely well versed in the English language. Let’s be honest, we’re spoiled. The trip was incredible, but be ready for a LOT of uphill hiking. To a seasoned Brazilian, this hike is an easy walk in the park. To we Americans, eh, was a bit of a calf and quad test. All in all, a must do. For the best experience, you must let Jalmir be your guide. Hint…Hint… Ask him to make a stop for a cane sugar drink. It’s a local experience you won’t regret!!

Great experience but beware of MOSQUITOES. Bring WATER!! - This was a great experience overall and I chose the early morning option to avoid major crowd. There are some things I will mention here for future travelers for a more pleasant experience. Although you don't have to be in top notch shape, however I do recommend you to be healthy overall with no major health concerns. There are steep hills and rocks area that you must hike/climb. The faster you go, the faster you can get to the top; but the slower you go, it will feel like forever to get to the finish line. I must say it is much quicker to go back down than to climb up. Beware of MOSQUITOES; wear bug repellant spray or something similar. I was not warned and got crazy bites all over my body. Depending on your guide and the time frame you get to the top, your photos may appear darker. If you see someone with a professional photograph and selling it at a reasonable price--go for it; that pic will look better than the one on your phone camera unless the sun is bright and your phone camera captured it clear and bright. I wish I took advantage of a professional camera. All of my pics are a bit dark and to lighten up sort of ruin the quality since I went early morning as the sun was rising. Bring water to stay hydrated which is a MUST. I did not and wish I had as I was THIRSTY. Again I got picked up around 4:30am (half asleep lol) and some things that were common sense completely went over my head. Unfortunately my tour guide had no extra water bottles except his own. Lastly, if you want to enjoy time at the beach as advertised, make sure you mention it or SAY something. My tour guide just pointed me to it and had absolutely NO INTEREST in stopping at any beach. He just took me back to the hotel. Again by the time I was done with the hike, I was exhausted but it would have been nice to stop and relax at the beach so major BUMMER on the tour guide's part. The overall attraction in itself was awesome but my tour guide was just doing his job and was mediocre at best; hence why I rated it the way I did.
