I missed the day of my trip. Company NO came, did not call, did not answer messages. Only debited the value on the card

The turn didn't happen. No one has contacted me. I sent numerous messages, called my cell phone and NO ONE answered. I missed the day of my trip. Don't trust this company. Now I'm struggling to get my money back.

Pessima

Bad communication!! No one could confirm me the Hotel departure time And we end without Know what time we drive to Hotel!!

Operator response

O serviço só é realizado quando recebemos as reservas dos clientes. Algumas reservas NÃO RECEBEMOS. E por isso não conseguimos atender. O erro não é da empresa. Para disponibilizarmos um carro, temos que receber a reserva. Quando recebemos, prestamos o serviço como solicitado, quando não recebemos, não temos como adivinhar. Algumas vezes, conseguimos carro em cima da hora, mas, algumas vezes infelizmente não temos como conseguir. E ainda sim, sua reserva tinha sido cancelada por indisponibilidade

Recife and its history

We greatly appreciate Guilherme's flexibility and attention. We had setbacks with our arrival, however Gui helped us and we were able to do the tour. He not only told us the history of Recife but also shared some tips and took many photos of us. Olinda was the highlight of the walk for its view and conservation. Unfortunately, some parts of the city, although historically representative, are overshadowed by neglect or disorder.

Nós agradecemos a preferência por nossa empresa.

Olinda, Recife and Ricardo Brennand Institute

Our driver and Junior guide was very attentive. He gave us a brief brief about the places we passed. It rained in the day, so a little disturbed the walk. But what really wasn't cool was the time available to the Ricardo Brennand Institute. Not because the guide Q extended his schedule so we could see a little bit of everything. You can't do this tour combined with the city tour Recife and Olinda. It is far away and the traffic is very intense, delaying the arrival at the points of interest. I suggest for those who have time, do only Olinda and Recife. Leaving the Institute for another day (does not need a guide in there, visit is sensational with a huge and very well cataloged collection, surpassing some museums in Europe)

Agradecemos essa dica. Acredito que a chuva tenha influenciado no trânsito e o tempo de visitação de cada local, depende muito do cliente.

Super Indico!

Punctuality, flexibility and sympathy of our guide Sena made our experience a very good, pleasant and happy moment. We like it very much and we indicate. We did one day the city tour Recife/Olinda and Instituto, and the other day the transfer back and forth to Porto de Galinhas.

Nós que agradecemos por tudo. Nos sentimos realizados quando recebemos esse feedback. Nossos clientes são os melhores. Vocês que fazem a nossa empresa, ser incrível. Estamos aguardando vocês em breve.

No show-no reply- unprofessional

Quite disappointing, we booked and paid online the tour, got no reply from the tour operator, nobody showed up to pick us up. We even contacted TripAdvisor and Viator, who tried to contact the tour operator but nothing happened. Unprofessional.

Operator response

Nós só conseguimos enviar o carro quando recebemos a reserva o que não foi o caso. A reserva foi feita um dia antes a noite (Após o Horário de Atendimento) Não temos como adivinhar. Não recebemos a confirmação de reserva e por isso não havia carro esperando vocês lá. Quanto ao pagamento, nós só recebemos após a prestação do serviço. Então, o reembolso é solicitado ao TripAdvisor e nós confirmamos que não fizemos o pedido. Não ficamos com valor nenhum de um serviço que não realizamos.

City Tour Recife Olinda

It was very good the City Tour Recife Olinda. We researched in several Enterprises and decided to hire with this company because it had a very good value and still passed at Instituto Francisco Ricardo Brennand, something other companies did not have. The driver was completely available without rushing and we had a stop for lunch in Olinda. The van stopped at every tourist spot, without having to climb slopes or walk to get to each point. We are grateful for the service and wonderful receptivity and will definitely recommend.
