Good guided walk. A lot of walking and stairs, so seniors or people with knee problems should be aware and possibly avoid. No need to shop around if you are looking for Favela tour. They are all organized by the same owners but under different product descriptions. For this one specifically, it's not led by the English school principal himself but a guide. There's no lunch included. The total time was around 3 hours.
I enjoyed my day tour to the Rocinha favela the largest favela in Brazil with Jody. He spoke English and introduced me to life in the favela and what it means to the people living there. The tour was not intrusive and was respectful of the lives of the people living in the Rocinha favela. Jody met me at a central train station and we took a bus to Rocinha. We started towards the top of Rocinha where the views were amazing and made our way down through the alleys. We spoke with locals, learned about local artists and had lunch at a local restaurant. We also visited the local school Jody created to teach adults living in the favela English. The tour took about 4 hours and the price covered lunch and a contribution to the school. I recommend this informative, safe, fun tour and look forward to returning.
