Great experience ✨ - My sister and I had a wonderful customized private tour in Petrópolis with Wagner. He was knowledgeable, professional, and attentive to our interests. Wagner tailored the itinerary perfectly to our preferences and shared fascinating historical insights and local stories that truly brought the city to life. We were able to take a moment and enjoy in every places. The tour was well-paced, comfortable, and thoughtfully organized. Thanks to Wagner, our experience in Petrópolis was both memorable and enriching. Highly recommended and worth the money🫶

Splendid Tour to Petropolis from Rio - We spent an exceptional day with our guide Monica on a private tour. First the road from Rio is very nice when you approach the climb to Petropolis: the scenery with this tropical vegetation is very impressive for Europeans that we are 😉. Monica shared her love for her country and her perfect knowledge of her history in impeccable French. The places visited (summer palace, cathedral, historic center of the city, greenhouse of incredible orchids) were beautiful and exciting. In addition, the buffet breakfast included in the price is hearty and of quality. We recommend with your eyes closed this excursion of more than 6 hours.... our driver Alain, for his part, kept them well open... serene and reassuring in a Brazilian road traffic a little bit particular 😉. Thanks to them 👏
