Tourist Guide in Rocinha since 2012.
An ambitious and avid young man who knows what he wants.
Luiz was a great guide. He gave great ensight into daily life and the dynamics in the favella. He was happy to answer questions. He pointed out points of interest along the way with thorough explanations. I would highly recommend Luiz as a guide and would gladly go on another of his tours.
Excellent tour and guide. Previously visited this favella in 2016 on a tour and that was nowhere near as good - that was sightseeing, this was insight. Luiz is born and bred in Rocinha and tells you as it is; he answers any questions with clear honesty. 100% recommended. Thanks Luiz!
A great experience with Luiz - a really genuine person who gave us a fantastic insight into day to day life in Rocinho and what it is like to live there. Happy to answer any questions we had throughout the tour too. Would recommend for sure!
i thoroughly enjoyed this tour with Luiz! The route takes you from the top of the favela through tiny alleyways and big streets down the favela, there is no way you can orient yourself within this maze, but doing it with a guide felt seamless… Luiz was very knowledgeable and after the tour I felt like I understood and experienced favela structure a little bit more, thank you, Luiz!
Luis parla un ottimo inglese, è aperto a qualsiasi domanda, ti coinvolge raccontandoti la sua esperienza diretta della favela. Un’ottima esperienza che ci ha permesso di conoscere meglio questa realtà
