“Dayvision was the BEST! Pickup time was coordinated prior to the day of the tour. He picked up me & my friends on time the day of the tour. We had a wonderful drive to Pedra do telegrafo. He was very knowledgeable and funny. When It came to the hike, he was VERY patient with us. We were able to complete the hike in 1 hour and 10 minutes (as we took a lot of breaks). He was so kind and allowed us to relax when needed. When we got to the top, he took amazing photos for us at the rock. It felt victorious once we completed the hike.…”
Review of Rio’s Two Brothers sunrise walk: 1.5 km hike, local guide, motor taxi ride, stunning views, practical tips, price, and drawbacks.
“The guide never showed up and didn’t bother to call me until I reached out to her. Her excuse was that she couldn’t get an Uber on time, but that shouldn’t have stopped her from notifying me. Our meeting point was a favela at 3am. She knew this and still didn’t make an effort to notify us on time, which could have avoided us driving there.”
