FAREWELL TO SOLITAIRE - POOR DO SOL
I wanted to thank the entire DDRio team for the incredible experience they provided me and all my guests on the boat sunset tour.
We could see the sights from another perspective, and it was just wonderful! Also, the DDRio team knows how to do a little bit of respect, everyone loved it! I was very sure to have hired them for this very special day for me.
I will definitely take other trips when I return to Brazil. We also had a team photographer, which allowed us to live the moment without worrying about anything else.
The boat is clean, safe, snacks and drinks of good quality and the staff is rating 100000!!!!

Que alegria ler uma avaliação dessas! ❤️ Ficamos muito felizes por termos feito parte de um momento tão especial como a sua despedida de solteira e por saber que você e seus convidados aproveitaram cada detalhe da experiência.
Ver o Rio do mar já é especial, mas celebrar uma ocasião assim, com pessoas queridas, pôr do sol e uma boa caipirinha, deixa tudo ainda melhor! 😄🍹🌅 E adoramos saber que nosso fotógrafo permitiu que vocês simplesmente curtissem o momento enquanto os registros ficavam por nossa conta.
Muito obrigado também pelo carinho com toda a nossa equipe e por destacar o cuidado com o barco, a segurança, os petiscos e as bebidas. Esse “nota 100000” certamente vai arrancar muitos sorrisos por aqui! 💙
Foi um prazer enorme fazer parte dessa celebração. Desejamos muitas felicidades nessa nova fase e, quando voltar ao Brasil, estaremos esperando por você para criarmos novas memórias juntos! ❤️⛵

Great old friends we just met!
Private experience was awesome! From time of communication they were on their way to pick us up until Uber ride back to hotel. Clarisse was totally attentive and was excellent hostess! Capt Apolo was fun and let us steer the boat. Snacks were adequate and drinks were flowing! Clarisse had a speaker so my daughter put her spotify on and we had THE party boat! Great evening with a lovely sunset!! Would def recommend this tour for some chill time on the water.

boat tour - singles farewell
Adriana, Carlos and Sergio received us very well, super attentive. We were in 14 girls for a bachelor's farewell, one of the girls was sick and the team was super worried dear to make her feel better. Adriana also told us about the historical points we passed through the tour, which made everything more amazing. Very worth it, I highly recommend.
