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!

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!

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!!

Must do in Rio - went on this tour on March 14th, guide picked us up on time and luckly for us it was just my fiancé Wendy and myself. the hike for me was a little rough but I made it with no problems. we arrived at the rock and what a great view it was awesome. we got there around 8am and no one else was there we got to take a lot of pictures without anyone else there, such a great time. we also saw monkeys on the walk up and got some great pictures a great morning for Wendy and I, go early so you don't have to wait in line to take your pictures as we were walking down a lot of people were walking up meaning waiting to take your pictures, please check out our guide dula pasta on instagram he has some great pics and videos you will love it

A++ Experience - Had a fantastic experience with the Pedra do Telegrafo hike and wild beaches tour. We were picked up for a private tour in the morning by our guide Bernardo and he was absolutely amazing. He was knowledgeable, informative, patient and very engaging. He pointed out all the relevant sights and then we started our one hour hike to the telegraph stone. At the stone, there were breathtaking views and Bernardo also helped us get some great and funny pictures. We also used the professional photographer that is usually at the site (very reasonably priced and takes great pictures). Overall, we had an A++ experience and would highly recommend this tour if you are in the Rio area.
