Fernando is a Star. This is the best tour in South America that I have done thus far (travelled ~5 months over multiple years throughout South America). My partner and I took this tour for the sunrise option and the views are absolutely stunning, was incredible to see the city of Rio from the top at night with all of the lights and then as the sun arose from the ocean illuminating the city. If you can do the Sunrise option, I would highly recommend it, if not, the tour is most definitely still worth doing.
Furthermore, I was impressed with Fernando's knowledge and history of the favela. Fernando did everything he could to make the whole experience rememberable and incredible, also noting that we both felt safe for the entirety of the tour.
Would recommend this tour to everyone I know. 10/10 - will be doing it again when I come back.
