This was so great - fantastic tour guides. Absolutely loved the Vidigal tour afterwards, a surprise as I thought I was just going up a mountain! Slippery/scary going up would recommend good shoes. I'm quite fit so found this relatively easy but some others in the group definitely struggled, so it can be a slow climb.
