It was all super calm, our guide was Julio, he guided us through the museum, told all the possible history and curiosities. The visit to Bohemia was fantastic. The Crystal Palace could be replaced, as it doesn't add much, and be included in the visit to the cathedral tower or another location.
The van is terrible, no one's legs fit, everyone complained
I consider that the first stop to see a hotel and casino could be skipped. I would add some other point of attraction, or otherwise I would make it shorter. I would add that a story could be created to tell at the cathedral, some anecdote. The lunch was very good. The imperial palace was great, it was what I liked most about the whole tour.
Advisable, we took advantage of the whole excursion and it was very interesting. We have learned part of the country's history and the guide has helped us enjoy the trip
Recommended tour, good experience and organized
Very good and peaceful the whole trip
Expand pure and have the agency train all operators this tour impeccable we did a regular previous one
I loved the experience! The guide is excellent, very charismatic and friendly, knows a lot about the history of the places we visited, which made the experiences in the historical sites even more impressive. Lunch and coffee were also great, everything was delicious and the quantity was very satisfying! We love the trip
The transfer is punctual with what was agreed. Very nice trip and the guide was very knowledgeable and attentive about everything he showed. Lunch happened at the right time and was very good.
Julio was such an amazing tour guide & showed us the best of Petropolis! His passion, friendliness, and knowledge is unmatched. I was the only English-speaker in the group and he was kind enough to repeat everything in English, so I could understand. The driver, Raphael, was friendly and safe. A great job from the team working together. As an American wanting to explore the history of Brazil, I couldn’t recommend this tour with Julio enough. Go on and book it, you won’t regret it.
