Who has done a tour through the favela's of Rio de Janeiro?

I am searching for people who have participated on a tour to the favelas of Rio de Janeiro. I am interested in your story, your experiences and motivations.

I am a Dutch fourth-student of the University of Applied Sciences in Breda, The Netherlands. Currently I am writing a thesis on tourism to poor urban neighborhoods. If you are interested in being interviewed, please contact me.
