Fantastic, private tour of historic Recife and Olinda, and a great value!
Recife and Olinda have incredibly rich history and culture, and this tour was the highlight of our time in the region. Our guide, Joselito Fernandes picked us up at our hotel and took us on a full day tour of the historic sites and scenic landscape around us. His knowledge of the history of each place we visited was impressive. He asked questions and listened, tailoring the tour to our interests. He got us to the front of the line at key cultural landmarks, and a table with fantastic views at our (delicious!) lunch stop in Olinda. He has a great eye, and captured great photos for us that will be treasured memories. We highly recommend this tour, and Joselito as a guide!

Lots of Historic buildings, arts, craftsmanship, and great food
Most of the tour is a panoramic view. There is some walking involved but it is not tiring.
Our tour guide Janilso Silva went above and beyond. So much historic knowledge. He was so patient and caring. This tour it a must if you are in Recife. Our family loved it. We have 2 teenagers and they enjoyed it.
