Felipe was very experienced and shared a lot of interesting knowledge during the trip. It was a really fun day that we highly recommend to all locals and travelers. Some of the other participants only hurried to the photo spot and left us early but he made sure that the rest of us had a pleasant trip. While the view up there is amazing and we too got some great pictures, the journey up was also a great experience. It is quite steep and took us a little more than 70 minutes. This might sound short but due to the warm weather and high humidity was challenging enough. Afterwards we stayed for some drinks and food at a nearby beach which compared to the more popular ones like Ipanema and Copacabana are very calm. Where else in Rio can you leave your phone on the table when going for a quick swim? Booking, transportation and overall communication from the whole team was very professional and we always felt we were in safe hands.

We had a great time with Maiko. He was very helpful with more that just this tour. The hike to the picture spot is not as easy as advertised but the views are worth it. The beach we visited after the hike was beautiful. This is a great tour for people traveling to Rio for their first time.

The trekking in the middle of the forest was really nice, Renan is very supportive and attentive guide and Ana is the best driver ever. I would make the communication with people takin the tour easier, as the puckup time was scheduled for 6:00 a.m. and we were picked up at 6:40 and there was no way to contact the company. I wouldn't recommend the hike for people with bad sport condition.
