Day to forget

Very bad since the boat have failed to have been waiting for the transfer of the bus to the center of Buzios in the morning more than 1 hour and at the end of the day more than 2 hours with rain and without any kind of support from the operator. The guide did what he could and I think he was already afraid that the 45 people would revolt!

Buzios beautiful place, bad lunch, horrible transport.

Buzios is a beautiful place. Shipping is good. We took the snorkeling experience but there were no conditions and we saw nothing, verbatim nothing. Lunch was bad and the place left much to be desired. The worst was the transport. The driver was driving like a maniac who was late somewhere. Finally when they could leave us closer to our hotel they left us in Lapa and It complicated our return. Some things to improve.

The really good organization. Schedules are up. Above the caramaran a very good and pleasant wave is created between all passengers. Very well prepared caipirinhas. Lunch doesn’t have as much variety, but it really is a detail all over the rest.
