Latest reviews
We had the incredible opportunity to tour a favela in Brazil with Daniel, and we honestly cannot recommend him enough. From the moment we met him, we felt completely safe, welcomed, and in the hands of someone who truly knows what he’s talking about. Daniel grew up in the favela, and his deep connection to the community gave us such a powerful, authentic insight into everyday life there. He was informative without ever being boring everything he shared was engaging, real, and eye-opening. It wasn’t just a tour, it was a genuine experience, filled with understanding, respect, and even moments of joy. We are SO happy we chose this tour it was truly amazing from start to finish. Daniel is an exceptional guide, a wonderful person, and made this the BEST tour we’ve ever been on. Thank you, Daniel, for everything!
