Tijuca Rain Forest Jeep Tour from Rio de Janeiro

The driver got stuck in traffic but Henry, the guide was on time. The rain started and we could not see the view from the look out point due to the rain - but we saw a monkey! Henry was interesting and well prepared and we hd a good tour.

This entire tour was amazing ! From beginning to end. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and made us feel so comfortable. Thank you.

I was deeply disappointed with this tour, which is partly my own fault for bringing unrealistic expectations to the tour. When I think of a rain forest I think of exotic wild life and plants. In fact Tijuca rain forest meets the technical definition of a rain forest, in terms of rain per year, but is actually a hand planted forest with plants from all over the world. It felt like walking through a forest in Ohio where I grew up. Nothing special.

Because this forest is planted over a substantial amount of space in a mountainous terrain, it's elevation allows for stunning views of the surrounding city. That said, if you went on an island tour, to sugar loaf mountain, or to see Christ the Redeemer, then you've already seen stunning views of the city.

Great trip, life experience, well organized. The tour guider was fantastic, knowledgeable, and hard working. Life is tough in Rain Forest. The tour guider cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner on a small boat. He is amazing. He is the most talented tour guider I ever met. We saw a lot, river, boats, fish, trees, jungle, turtle, monkey, birds and so on. We also so how local people live and how people can be strong to fight for their lives.

Fantastic tour! Great informative ride!

It was great to see the forest by open top jeep and the tour guide was awesome, very knowledgable! I would have liked to have more time in the forest.

We had a blast on this excursion. The group was so diverse - Spanish speaking, English speaking both the American and the England kind - inside joke with driver, and French. Though we could not all speak the same language, our guide spoke all 3 and made sure to translate and include everyone in the conversation. The hike was easy and the sites beautiful. But, I recommend you take enough water so you don't need to refill your bottle at the filtered station! Sunscreen and bug spray are not to be skipped.

I enjoyed the tour. The guide was punctual and picked us up even from Barra da Tijuca hotels. The guide spoke good english and took us trekking as well so that was very cool. They allowed us enough time wherever we wanted to stay a bit more and were very flexible and friendly. I recommend this tour

Great fun riding in an open-top vehicle. Saw lovely waterfalls and had a very enjoyable walk through the rain forest. A very good and knowledgeable guide kept us informed and amused.

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and allowed us plenty of time to explore the areas. The hike was great!
