Great, great tour! - Well, I have a lot of things to say about this tour, and it is all positive. With his great knowledge of the area and goal to find the unique and not so over-crowded spots, Henry was a wonderful guide. He speaks perfect English, had great humor and did not mind making way for us, through other groups groups of turists. We were picked up at our hotel in Barra de Tijuca at 7.15 am and ended the last stop in the national park well past 2 pm, making this the best value-for-money tour in the area. Other jungle tour takes you to the area for only 2h tours, but Henry made sure we got a great experience. Maybe we got lucky, but we saw many monkeys, a beautiful snake and heard a tucan. For your own sake, consider this tour!

Tijuca Forest Waterfalls, great tour with Henry! - We spent a brilliant few hours with our guide, Henry, exploring the waterfalls in the Tijuca Forest. We went early in the day to avoid the crowds. Henry was a great person to be our guide, he was friendly and kind. He told us so much about life in Rio, and took us to some great places in the forest. Sadly we didn’t get to see any of the views of Rio as the weather was very cloudy, but if you did this tour on a sunny day, the views would be fabulous. Our teenage boys enjoyed the trek and Henry’s company too. Highly recommend.
