    Gilson and Vitor were excellent hosts. We’ve experienced the favela life from inside, seen the best views of Rio, visited our host house, had a snack watching videos of Michael Jackson recording his famous ‘They don’t care about us’ video. We’ve also seen real narcos gang - it was a surreal experience like being in a movie but we still felt in safety and taken care of. I can only recommend this activity!
