Great experience!
Renata's guide is wonderful, her voice sounds like the song of a little bird, so sweet! Excited, fun, funny, made the City tour an unforgettable experience. Immense knowledge of the historical part, narrated with rich detail of the entire history of the State, of its characters, making the visit something engaging and charming! It is clear when a person works with what they like! Congratulations on the excellent professional!

Rustic outing
What a crappy trip!!! It's starting to leave, because it goes from hotel to hotel picking up people and a lot of people are very late. Then you sit inside a bus, the biggest sun rolling, and you only visit some historical places, well, very boring ones. It takes TOO long everywhere. It's such a bore!
Tiring, boring, dull walk, rustic places, horrible!!! Zero note. I hated it. Leave the hotel at 07:15 and only arrive at 16:00. It was the most annoying and idiotic thing I have ever done in MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!

City tour + tasting + photography
The city tour tells the story of João Pessoa, for those who like history is a good request. The Mônica guide tells many important facts and explains the city's space. The tour features a professional photography service, Eternizzy, and consultant Gerlanny Pereira super helped me in choosing the services. I highly recommend.

Poor care for people without education
When I spoke with Luck's guide that I would not buy the packages of tours to the beaches of João Pessoa with him he began to treat me badly with lack of education and in some questions he did he didn't even answer me and I was with the city tour package in the city paid and I wasn't even notified when the tour would be done or either I paid and didn't, service bad people completely disqualified to do this kind of work. I hated the service of this agency
