          Amazing hike
          It was a very fun journey with a great guide, not made for everybody though. Take good shoes with you and make sure you are not too afraid of heights

          Best climbing trip!
          If I could give 10 stars, I would! Marius and Jesse were incredible! They made the whole hike and climb incredibly enjoyable and helped us out so much! Marius was very informative with facts and great information about rio and the mountain/nature around us and was so helpful with getting us up safely while also enjoying the day! Jesse was an amazing addition to the trip as well and made such a difference for us when getting up the mountain. I will recommend Marius and Jesse to everyone coming to Rio!

          Nature day with flora and fauna
          Love nature. I saw a lot of variety of trees and plants. Also a couple of cute animals during the hike. Lucas is a good tour guide and good photographer too. He knows where to hike and very much experience with the hike and where to take a good pictures spot. Keep on looking after all of us. Overall I did enjoy the tour and hike. Highly recommended.

          Great tour but book option without lunch.
          The tour was very good and very fun. The choice of restaurant for the lunch included was not good. The food was not fresh and it was a buffet style. Everything else was fine.

          Fantastic meaningful experience
          Sergio was a fantastic guide. He was very informative, kind and interesting. He is passionate about the forest and has an amazing eye for spotting wildlife But most of all he was incredibly supportive and calm in dealing with my fear of heights. I am very thankful and feel that I learned a lot about dealing with fear.

          Simply the Best!!
          Rafael was the ABSOLUTE best tour guide! He was patient and personable. We learned so much about the national park and Brazil. It was a tough hike, but it was excellent! We did the early morning hike, which I’d highly recommend as it gets crowded by noon. Two of the three waterfalls we had all to ourselves!!

          Best way to see Sugarloaf
          Sergio gave us a great experience climbing Sugarloaf mountain. He gave us loads of interesting facts about Sugarloaf’s history and about Brazil more generally on the way. He gave us options for what we wanted to do on the day depending on how intense you wanted it to be and was clearly very experienced. All of the equipment was really good quality and we felt confident in his skills. The cherry on top was the great photos Sergio took on the way! Thanks for an awesome experience!

          Spectacular Tour
          This was a spectacular tour. Apart from the scenery and the serenity of the waterfall, tour guide Rafael was the best. Being older and less fit, he was increasingly attentive and caring of me, nothing was too much as he supported me on the hike, he took photos for me as well. This was my last tour on this vacation and Rafael made it the BEST ONE. He was knowledgeable, funny, great company and caring, Rafael you were the best !!

          Just Ok
          I booked this trip based on the TripAdvisor reviews. I was sceptical about booking with this company but as they don't charge a single supplement I took a chance with them. With hindsight I probably would have booked with another company. So the good points Pedra da Gávea is probably the best hike to do in Rio. Rabbling down the rock was great fun and the quality of the photos taken by the guide (Lucas) was super. It is a challenging hike but very manageable too, albeit a good level of fitness is required. Their are other companies that do all of the above too fyi. I booked an English speaking tour. As their was only two booked on the English tour we were algimated with the Spanish speaking tour so the tour essentially became a Spanish speaking tour. The company has "form" in doing such a thing from reading other reviews here. The guide didn't have a good level of English in my opinion so other people on the tour had to translate to English. Given their is a bit of technical climbing involved I was a bit uncomfortable by that if a problem was to arise. That said I really did enjoy the trek primarily because Pedra da Gávea is so good but the company didn't add a whole lot to the experience imho.

          Highlight of our trip
          I went with a group of avid hikers and this was definitely a highlight of our trip. Our guide, Sergio, took great care of us and provided a lot of interesting history of the area. The views were incredible. The weather was perfect and the trails were well kept. Definitely would recommend to anyone

        I took the transport option which was excellent, comfortable, and exceptionally punctual. My tour guide Renan was kind, patient, and gregarious, and the hike itself was wonderful! Stunning views and beautiful pathways through a gorgeous urban jungle. Renan was kind enough to wait in the line with me for a picture, and was willing to tailor the hike to my needs, whether that included a side-route to one of the beaches below or a stop for an experience of coco-water. The view at the top is absolutely stunning and unique. Excellent experience!!

        We spent an amazing week in Rio celebrating my hubby’s bday. There were so many awesome things we did and saw while there but the most memorable experiences were realized with the help of the best tour guide ever, Thalles, or T as he’s known by us. With his help we got to see the good, the bad, and the “ugly” that the city has to offer which mixed together defines the real Rio De Janeiro! What started out as a scheduled tour to Pedra led to two days of eating, learning, partying, and exploring the city through the eyes of a native! It is because of him that we not only know, but got to see Little Africa does exist, in Rio! What an unforgettable experience! T is someone who started out as a tour guide and in the end became a friend. If ever in Rio be sure to check him and his tours out, I promise you won’t be sorry. #WeSurvivedPedra #LittleAfricaDoesExist

        I absolutely loved my hike at pedra park, I'm out of shape and have a bad knee, so I had to stop and rest 4 times,even thought about quitting two of those times but fortunately for me I had the best tour Guide his name is Thalles , he was very patient and encouraged me to keep going, I really appreciate Thalles because my view was well worth it

        This tour and related description is very very misleading and it is a scam. You get a guide and need to pay for transportation. Our guide was late and suggested we take an Uber on our expense. We was late to the Telegraforock so it was very long queues (hours) and people cutting the line. The guide was good but company arranging is scaming participants. I recommend you take an Uber yourself (to Guaratiba) and be there by 7am so you get early to the rock (the 45-60 minutes hiking to it) and can take your photo.

        The tour meeting was very unorganized. At first on Whatsapp, the tour company told me they would pick me up at my hotel, and then they said they wouldn't The night before, they let me know to meet one of the two guides at Jardim Oceanico metro station at 8am. I met the guide before then, but the other guide with 3 other people taking the tour didn't meet up with us at that rendezvous point until much later. There was no transportation ready for us to go the Guaratiba, the town where the hike begins, and I was required to purchase an Uber for myself, one other tourist, and one of the guides. The other 3 went in a different Uber. The Uber ride was an hour long, and it would have been cheaper and quicker for me to go to the trail head directly from my hotel! Instead, they made me wake up early and meet them at a rendezvous point in the wrong directions, just so I could pay for an Uber for half of the group.

        By the time we started the hike, it was past 10am. No information was provided during the hike. One of the guides took my photo at the top, and that was nice of her. But other than that, I received nothing for the price of the tour. In fact, in addition to the price of the tour, I had to pay more for the Uber to the beginning of the trail, and I had to pay for an Uber to get to the rendezvous point.

        Don't make the same mistake I did. Don't book this tour, and just go there on your own. If you are staying at a hotel in Barra da Tijuca, like I was, then just take an Uber straight to the trail head, by entering "Pedra do Telegrafo" into the Uber app. The trail is well marked, and you will see other hikers. If you are staying in Rio, then you can take the Metro to the final L1/L4 station of Jardim Oceanico, and then take an Uber from that point to "Pedra do Telegrafo." If you are traveling solo, don't worry about not having someone to take your photo. Their is a professional photographer at the top of the mountain who will do it for a small fee, or you can ask one of the others in line.

        Thank you for your review, unfortunately public transportation in Rio de Janeiro is not one of the best! But at no time do we require passengers to pay for Uber to go to the beginning of the trail, we give this option in case of delayed transport to gain time, but it is not required at all! 10am is the time we started this activity, this is normal. We at Nattrip do not advise anyone to take a trail without an experienced Guide who has technical knowledge of rescue and first aid, and knowledge in the wild. Also, there are not always photographers on top of the mountain taking pictures! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Obrigado pela sua avaliação, infelizmente o transporte público no Rio de Janeiro não é um dos melhores! Mas em momento algum obrigamos os passageiros a pagarem por Uber para ir ao inicio da trilha, damos esta opção em caso de demora dos transportes para ganharmos tempo, mas não é obrigatório de maneira alguma! 10h é o horário que iniciamos esta atividade, isso é normal, Nós da Nattrip não aconselhamos ninguem a realizar uma trilha sem um Guia experiênte que tenha conhecimentos tecnicos de resgate e de primeiros socorros, alem de conhecimento em meio natural. Alem disso, nem sempre tem fotografos no topo da montanha tirando foto!

        This tour expensive and is not worth it.Take uber and diy. Trails are paved and well-marked. There’s no use for a guide. Save your money! Booked it through Viator(horrible customer service btw). My local tour operator agreed to refund my money for 2 of 3 bookings, but was denied on Viator’s end. Don’t book this trip and avoid Viator.

        Took this tour was a great experience. In the morning it is a central point to meet together. You must take all you will need regarding water and some food. You need to be prepared with comfortable shoes and food clothes. We take the auto to get the point during the trip the guide let you know the most important things about the city. When you arrive you must walk around one hour but the end is beautiful. The guide took the pictures for you and you finally can take an açai.

        *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
