My husband and I spend 3 days in Santos pre cruise. We took this tour and as it turned out, all of the other guests were on the same cruise.

It was a very enjoyable tour.

This is a good tour to see the sights of Santos but we felt that some areas like the coffee museum and the Pele museum were a bit rushed and that was after we asked the guide not to take us to the buffet restaurant for lunch which would have eaten into the day.

It’s a city full of history and culture, and we’re glad you had the opportunity to visit some of its most iconic attractions.
