Luis conducted the tour with professionalism and inside knowledge since he lives at La Rocinha. Initially we had our reservations about joining the tour but it completely surpassed our expectations.

Luiz was so very generous in sharing about life in the Rocinha favela. While the favelas of Rio are hard to miss as you look up to the mountains you cannot appreciate what they are like to live in without having someone like Luiz take you around. While Rio has so much glamour and natural beauty I feel it’s important to get at least a small insight into how so many Rio residents live. Luiz definitely offered us that and as a third generation Rocinha resident it was an honour for us to have him as our guide. Obrigada, Luiz.

This was an amazing tour. Différent from what we can expect normally. Going into the insight of a favela. Luiz is very knowledgable and provided us a unique experience, allowing us also to make a funny trip by moto up to the top of roacinha . Thanks a lot
