We had a very informative, interesting, and fun tour of Favela with Luiz. We asked a lot of questions and he answered in details and took his time to explain. We felt safe walking through the neighborhoods. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in real life in favelas in Rio de Janeiro.

Response from Luiz

Thank you, Viktoriya! I actually like when people ask a lot of questions because it makes the tour more dynamic and real. So thank you for being curious and engaged! I’m really glad you enjoyed it and that you felt safe and comfortable during the walk. That’s always very important to me. Wishing you all the best, and if you’re ever back in Rio, you’re welcome anytime.
