Great tour of Santa Marta favela. Elias was a great, friendlt and funny tour guide who knew about the history of the favela, he even invited us to his house. I definitely recommend this tour.

This moment with Elias was a true human experience. He shared with us only a part of all the good that his neighbourhood can offer, and it was already impressive.
I went to an other tour the same day, and trust me this one is a thousand times better.
I will come back next time to see how it evolves and to help if I can.
Elias, I wish you all the best. Thank you very much.

The favela experience was humbling. The history, the information, the people. It was an amazing experience. Layos
Duarte answered questions and gave the personal touch. Learning from a person who lives everyday gave more understanding and that personal feel. I will remember this experience for a very long time.

I went with a group of friends and we remained mesmerized from start to finish with the guidance of Elias. We did so much in just a few hours and I will remember for a lifetime!

Elias was the best guide, very knowledgeable and safe. The weather wasn't a good so we were unable to participate in the football match with the kids so instead invited us to his personal home for a caiprianah making lesson. Highly recommended going to the favela to experience a different culture and way of life. Humbling and empowering all at once. Its also where Michael Jackson shot the they don't care about us music video and fast and furious 4 (I think) was shot!

Our family was lucky enough to have Eiias as our tour guide of the Santa Marta Favela! He allowed us to experience the Samba drumming, the painting of landscapes in his beautiful home, touring the entire favela from the top to the bottom, and so much more. It was an experience our entire family will never forget and one that we highly recommend for others.

I wanted to have a deeper understanding and appreciation for the history and culture of the favela communities and this tour did not disappoint! It is advertised as being supported by the locals and is guided by a trusted local who lives the Santa Marta community - the lovely Elias. We engaged with the kids of the favela by playing football, shouting them soft drinks and chips and joining in their samba school class. Elias also welcomed us into his home which has an incredible view of the city and he taught us how to make caipirinhas! Highly recommend this tour.
