    Bad experience, it’s a scam, ruined my holiday. I have chosen the most expensive package USD 125 to include pick up from hotel, but the guide didn’t showed up and even spent 2 days in getting in touch with the agent with no feedback. No apology ever been given but USD 125 have been charged on my card.

    I climbed the Sugarloaf with 3 of my friends. Diogo was a very good guide. He is very friendly and knowledgeable of the surroundings. He speaks Portuguese, English, Spanish, and even a little bit of French. He guided us to the top by hiking off the beaten paths. At some point, we even had to rock climb our way up. He carried all the climbing equipment and entertained us all the way, while still making sure we were safe. The hike/climb was intense, probably the steapest I walked, but it was not very long. Just long enough to be tired and to feel rewarded when we reached the top. For our group, the climb itself was more enjoyable than the view at the top. I recommend this 100% if you are adventurous. The views we had on the way up were even better than the ones at the top. Finally, when you walk/climb up, you can use the cable car to go down for free. So you get to see and to enjoy all sides of the Sugarloaf.

    F-yeah! My (amazing) wife booked this activity for both of us as a birthday present. It was our first time and Diogo was the best guide we could have asked for!

    I had the chance to get familiar to climbing (with the climbing baptism) and I climbed the sugarloaf moutain. Even if I did not have any previous climbing experience, it went very well thanks to the tips given by my guide Diogo. Climbing allows you to get a unique experience of Rio through the nature. Diogo is very serious and friendly and is necessary to access safely these unique sites (that you could not access without a guide). I totally recommend this activity that I will never forget !
