The excursion was just as announced. They came to us on time and the whole deal was friendly and respectful. The PC guide gave us an almost personalized experience because we were the only ones who did not speak Portuguese.
Estimado cliente. Muchas gracias por la revisión. Nos alegra que te haya gustado el tour. Por favor, cuente con nosotros en futuros viajes. Gracias.
The package I purchased included a visit to the largest cashew tree in the world and Arena das Dunas, which did not happen. We went to Forte dos Reis Magos, did a city tour and went to the beach to stay for three hours. I took an Uber and went back to the hotel. The guide explained that there had been a change in the package, but I was not notified. I requested a refund.
Yesterday's tour was outstanding. Even though I am not fluent in Spanish the tour guide who doesn't speak English he made sure that he took the time to make sure I understood. One person who spoke English helped me and everyone else was accommodating
Very hot to do them in micro or walking, it is better by car. most showy the fort of two reis.

I didn't have a good experience because I bought for a tour of the city of Christmas and South Coast but I did only city tour where was not followed the script that was offered here by tripadvisor, I bought this tour because I wanted to know the cajueiro and the strong of the magical kings because I had little time for the city I thought this script would be perfect with the time I had in the city. The tour began with the visit of a fair where we went in and it wasn't even open and we were barred by the security we had to wait for the opening. The end of the route was a boat tour that had to pay more 35 reals the part at the end we did not pass the south coast and could not visit the cajueiro that was on the schedule I was directed by the guide to ask for a refund because according to the Enterprise that made the tour the TripAdvisor website is outdated because they no longer do the route that is offered here I felt mistaken because it was not cheap this tour.
Ugly stops, bad markets, lots of photos. Missed offering a drink. Expensive intermediaries tours, do not stop at the historic places.
Prezada 346lucianed, Obrigado pela sua avaliação. Que pena que você não aproveitou o passeio conosco. Infelizmente as bebidas não estão incluídas. Esperamos vê-la em outras visitas. Obrigado.
It was a good shame that the tide of the elbow beach was too high being risky to take a bath.The cajueiro is worth seeing The story also and interesting
Prezado(a) Trip633268, Obrigado pela sua avaliação! Que bom que você gostou do passeio. É um pena que a maré estava alta. É uma pena que isso está fora do nosso controle, caso contrário íamos baixar o máximo possível para você aproveitar mais ainda o seu passeio! =) Esperamos vê-los novamente em outras visitas. Obrigado. Pedro Malta em nome de Diogo M.
The tour started from the hotel lobby what was really excited so you could lean back and enjoy from the first moment! After collecting some other people the journey was on its way. From beautiful scenery by driving alongside the beach to a wonderful boat trip and delicious meals at the beach with possibilities to swim and relax up to discover the world largest cashew tree, the tour was filled with amazing and impressive views of Natal and its surrounding. The tour guide gave its utmost to provide accurate and up-to-date information about all sights of the trip. I strongly recommend this tour it covers in a light way a lot of the tourist attractions in one day
Dear FriedrichS292, Thank you for your review! We are glad you had a good time on your tour with us. We hope to see you again in future travels! Thank you. Pedro Malta on behalf of Diogo M.
Very good crossing by the river, visit to the World Cup Stadium and later visit to the beach. While the excursion was in "Spanish", the guide spoke hopefully in "Portuñol", which takes away richness from the explanations. The Magi fort was closed for spare parts. Natal seems to be a city that has no fondness for recording its history. Too bad, because I sense there's a lot to tell.
Estimada Marcela M, Gracias por su evaluación. Nos alegra que haya disfrutado de su tour con nosotros. A respecto de la calidad del español de la guia, le pedimos que por favor, nos envie un e-mail con la fecha y sus datos de reserva para investigar el tema. por favor, envialo para pedromalta@grayline.com.br Pero nos alegra que ha sido un buen tour. Esperamos verle nuevamente en otros viajes. Gracias, Saludos, Pedro Malta por parte de Diogo M
Too long on the bus, but only so we get to know. The beach of Pirangi was very dirty impossible to get into the sea ..but as everything is walk, we entered the dance.
