following, are a few companies that specialize in turismo comuniário and in assisting or accompanying visitors who wish to visit favelas.

Favela Tour aims to empower the residents of Rocinha favela by giving them the opportunity to organize and run the tours themselves - All guides therefore live within the favela and any money that is generated goes directly back into the community, with the aim of creating a community center for arts and leisure programs.

The tours are more of a cultural exchange than a conventional show and tell experience - They offer tours of the day to day goings on of the favela, tours including a Baile Funk party, paintball experiences, football games, barbecues, and are more than happy to design itineraries around the client.
