Perfect day

Published on Mar, 2025

Our tour was perfect. Our tour guide Romulo and our driver, coincidentally, Romulo made a great team. We are an older couple (73 & 75), and they took great care for our safety and comfort. Saw every thing we wanted to see and more. It was wonderful, getting out of Rio for the day with a welcome respite from the heat and overall frenetic energy of the city. Petropolis is calm, cool and historically interesting.

Wonderful day in Petropolis

Published on Feb, 2025

Excellent trip the driver was excellent and we felt safe going up and down the mountains. The guide Henry was wonderful, knowledgeable and attentive. Gave us guided tour but also allowed us to explore alone. A wonderful day. I would recommend to everyone.

Immersive and interesting!

Published on Feb, 2025

The Petrópolis Tour is very interesting! It provides an immersive experience and education about Brazilian history.

A must see place.

Our guide Rafael and driver, Alex did a fantastic job. They picked us up from the hotel and enjoyed the experience. After a wonderful tour, Rafael choose a great trip to have lunch. Thank you Rafael and Alex.

Marcelo is the man

Published on Nov, 2024

We did four tours with Marcelo and his company while in Brazil. All three were outstanding. After booking a Rio tour with him, we had a couple days to fill in our itinerary and he suggested this tour. It did not disappoint. It was a great change of pace from Rio full of history and culture. The palace and casino were both must see attractions. It was also our last day of the trip and he flawlessly coordinated our drop off at the airport. If you need a top Rio tour company, look no further. Marcelo will work with you, adjust, and customize to fit you.
