A lovely tour of the historic city - We had an enjoyable trip with a good driver and an interpreter organised by Luck Tours. It was very flexible in that we could say where we wanted to visit and how long for. It was very convenient and it meant that we visited places that it would have been difficult to visit independently and avoided having to walk around too much in the heat.

Good service - As I was planning a new trip, I have found this company on Tripadvisor and it was definitely a good option. Tyrone, the driver was very nice and took good care of us. They picked us up at the airport in João Pessoa took us for lunch, a city tour and later took us to my father’s hometown, 2 hours away, which was one of the main reasons for the trip.
