The tour was well conducted. The guide, Martin, explained everything really well and gave some good background knowledge about life in the favela. It was a very insightful tour of the lives of the people living here. I liked the fact that Martin took us into the favela using the transport that the community uses. Martin has been leading this tour for many years and knows a lot of the locals and so I felt very safe walking around the streets with him.

The tour was good. The guide was kind and answered our questions. Overall I'm satisfied, I saw beautiful views and understood a bit about the whole concept and history of the favela, its rules and inhabitants. There wasn't something exceptional in the tour itself - like the guide spending more time in explanations and storytelling, meeting impressive local characters or something that would make us wow, but given the circumstances it also might not be possible. So I'm overall happy.

Great tour. Martin was clear about when and when not to pull out the camera, he gave some good info along the way and he made effort to interact with the locals to keep the rapport going in order to make it a safe experience. I’m really glad I took the tour and I also made some friends with others on the tour. 4 of us who were all solo travellers went for food and drink together afterwards.
