Full-Day Historical Tour in Paraty from Rio
Description
Embark on a journey through the historical town of Paraty. Famous for the Gold Path connecting Minas Gerais, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro during the Gold Cycle, Paraty has kept its historical buildings almost intact. It feels like we are back to the Colonial Times in Brazil. Starting with hotel pickup, we take the Green Coast path to Paraty. Beautiful green landscapes prepare you for the city ahead. Take this opportunity to plan the itinerary with the tour guide. It is a private tour, so you may choose what to do in Paraty. You can visit a distillery to see how they produce the cachaça - our national liquor -, you can swim at the waterfalls, you can lay down on the beach, you can visit the historical landmarks or you can do some shopping in town. It is really up to you! After you have enjoyed this tailor-made tour, we hit the road back to Rio.

Paraty is a city to be seen without a doubt. Probably not in the conditions performed with a round trip in the day of Rio which lasts at least 9 hours and not 6 as indicated in the exit.
Excellent excursion. Spot driver Very friendly and competent The journey is long but paraty is definitely worth a visit On the other hand one problem the single rate is abuse to pay double An overquote okay but here I am talking about scam Patrick LOUCHE
It was a long journey but Luiz made sure the drive safe and comfortable. Paraty is beautiful and a lot of buildings kept intact with history, the only thing is raining otherwise we would enjoyed even more.
A delightful day to experience the green coast of Rio. You really get a different feel of Brazil outside of the city. The Cachasa distillery was a lovely informative part of the tour. (Tip: buy the chocolate liquer!). The short hike to the waterfall is a great nature experience and many interesting birds were spotted. Dario was a consummate professional with a warm friendly manner. He facilitated the tour perfectly and is a safe, patient driver. The drive is long, but absolutely worth it.

Thank you very much for your complimentary review and for choosing us for your experience here in Rio. Best regards and see you next time!
Great trip! It’s a long drive from Rio but was worth it and can be done in one day. Renato was a great caring and flexible driver and guide!
