A sensational tour to have fun and meet Búzios for those who have little time

The tour was very pleasant, I was able to enjoy a lot with my husband, even on a cloudy day. Lots of Latin music and good drinks. The crew on the boat was sensational. The bus arrived on time as it was on the voucher, at 6:30 a.m., from the meeting point in Copacabana, in a comfortable travel bus with bathroom and we left Rio de Janeiro around 7:30. On the way, the guide quickly told us where we were passing. We arrived in the town of Armação de Búzios around 11:20h and the boat left around 12h from the pier very close to Rua das Pedras, an area with several local restaurants and where the statue of Brigite Bardot is located. The boat is quite large, with 2 floors, has clean bathrooms, counts with Dj on board and, even with busy sea, we had a quiet navigation. I found the perfect tour to have fun and for those looking for something more animated with the newest galera. On the way he had stops for diving in the open sea. On the boat it was possible to buy a package of photos with a professional photographer and he had the equipment to take the same photo from this image. The place of lunch is close to the landing. After we had a free time to explore the shore Brigite Bardot take photos and ensure various records. We arrived in Rio approximately around 20:30h, but I imagine that with the traffic it can take longer. I would not recommend marking anything other than this day tour.

Obrigado pelo relato detalhado, Matheus! Ficamos felizes que você e seu marido tenham aproveitado o passeio, mesmo com o tempo nublado. A equipe da embarcação, a animação com música latina, os drinks e a organização do transporte e roteiro parecem ter contribuído para uma experiência memorável. Que bom que curtiram Búzios e o clima animado do passeio!

Outstanding tour guide, Camila!

A few adjustments could elevate the tour experience, such as eliminating the third swimming break from the schedule, which would reduce unnecessary time allocations. Moreover, extending the dinner period at the end of the day from 4PM to 5PM would allow guests to dine at a relaxed pace and accommodate additional shopping time. Notably, Camila, our tour guide, was a standout component of our day, consistently exceeding expectations to ensure seamless execution of activities and exceptional guest satisfaction. Her remarkable performance warrants recognition, and we highly recommend promoting her outstanding service. I trust that your company will acknowledge Camila's contributions with substantial credit , opportunities for advancement and professional growth. She has earned it . Her personable skills made all the difference in our experience, which could have been less enjoyable otherwise. Regards , Bruna & Doug Phillips

Unmissable destination

We embarked in Buzios on the catamaran of the company freedom. From the guide, in my case, Rodrigo and the entire boat team were very friendly and informative. I recommend at least spending two days in Buzios because it really is very beautiful and the beaches are spotless. In the catamaran were drinks to buy in cash, pix or card. Once the walk ends, you have lunch at a steakhouse.
