An Adventure for ALL ages! Amazing!!! - This was an an unexpected trip of a lifetime. First of all I could not say enough about our tour guide Roberto. Roberto catered the trip to our needs and made it so much fun. If he suggests the Pedra de Bau… gain your courage and DO IT! It was a long day but the memories that were created were forever…

Great day trip! - I wasn’t expecting to have as good as a time as I did. The town in the mountains is beautiful and really does look like Germany or Switzerland. Roberto the tour guide was excellent and personable. One tip I have is to wear real shoes not flip flops like I did as there is a hike up a mountain involved.

Roberto showed us all the mountains area of Campos do Jordao and the area close by.
Must do this tour if you visit Sao Paolo.
Roberto is very friendly and professional in what he is doing and he is a really good tour guide.

Almost silent Tour of a beautiful place. - Beautiful City. Lovely drive.
HOWEVER, the driver Mohammad could not speak English. Though he might be knowing English but it was not coming out from his mouth.
He was nice to us. Helped us to buy things.
He is of Syria origine and in Sao Paulo from 11 years. I happened to work in Gulf for many years, 24 years back. With little bit Arabic that I could remember, I saved our day.
He will be good for tour in English and Portuguese.
Please don't assign him for tour in English.

Caveat Emptor - I have written positive reviews for over a dozen TripAdvisor tours. This is the first review that I would classify as a disaster.
The day prior to the tour, I wrote to the operator about the “heavy rain forecast”. He assured me that the weather would be clear where we were going?
On the day of the tour, the guide informed me that the $385 I had paid Trip Advisor was going to be refunded and I would have to pay him directly. In hindsight we should have gotten out of the car immediately.
If you’re taking this tour, it consists of being in a small car for over (6) hours. The description of the tour tells you that the tour lasts 10 hours? If we had known that the drive to see a small village was (3) hrs each way we would never had chosen the tour? To be honest, the village was cute and the gondola was interesting - but not in the heavy rain we faced.
Upon returning to São Paulo, it took over 90 minutes for the tour guide to make the electronic transfer. I had to pay him $200 in cash and the bank transfer of $188. It was ridiculous how long this took.
At this stage, my message is Caveat Emptor!
