Give it ago - What a wonderful tour, our guide Gabby was fabulous. The train trip to Morretes was comfortable, scenic, relaxing. Plenty of room in carriage so everyone could get their shot. Gabby spoke perfect English plus Portuguese. Which was fabulous for a pair of Aussies Lots of interesting information, snacks and drinks available. Would definitely recommend

Elegance on the rails - And just wonderful. The tour guide, in fact all the logistics workers, did an excellent job. They provided quality information showing good knowledge of the whole journey.

Spectacular - must see. - This was an amazing train trip the views were spectacular and the host very friendly and personable. The time flew by. Lunch was excellent. The only problem was we were tired and would have liked to go straight back after lunch rather than stopping at different tourist spots. It would have been nice to have been offered an extra charge for the sumptuous carriage rather than the lovely carriage we had. Thank you.

Scenic, Relaxing, and Exceptionally Well Hosted - This was an outstanding experience from start to finish, and the host deserves special recognition. The scenic train ride itself is beautiful, with incredible views that make the journey just as enjoyable as the destinations. Morretes and Antonina are charming, historic, and well worth the visit, and the pacing of the day was perfect—never rushed, never dull. What truly elevated the experience was the host, who was knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely enjoyable to spend the day with. It felt less like a tour and more like traveling with a local friend who loves sharing their region. If you’re considering this trip, I highly recommend it—especially for solo travelers looking for a relaxed, friendly, and memorable day.

Amazing nature! - Very organised. I was the only English speaking person on the tour, but the guide explained what was going on and translated as necessary. I visited early in the year when there were not too many people on the tour. This was good because the carriage wasn’t full. The views of the beautiful Atlantic forest were stunning, so I was able to take lots of photos, I also enjoyed the lunch and talking with the Brazilian people on the tour. They were so nice to me, it made the day even more special,

Very beautiful train. Lunch package not very good. - The walk is pretty. We didn't like the package that comes with the van that takes back to Curitiba. We had to go to the restaurant of the package, which is far from the city, and it is not possible to choose the dishes, we stayed only 40 minutes in Morretes, we passed quickly by Antônia, barely got to meet. Very running. We had to visit a theme park Hisgeopar, we had no choice and did not recommend. Bee honey without straw costs 70 reals, but in Canela we find it for 25 reals. There is no lunch-free package option on the official website. We went through a lot of heat, because we were wearing cold clothes. In Morretes, the temperature is high because the air does not circulate. We went hot, because in Curitiba it was cold. I recommend the wagon with balcony. The walk is long and the balcony made a lot of difference, for the view and for being able to stand. We really liked the train. We don't like the part of the van.

Train ride to Morretes: simply unforgettable! - Always observe the weather forecast, with rain does not pay to take the walk. Ideal is to go to Morretes by train and back from Van, bus... It is a tour that blends nature, history and gastronomy. Ideal for those who want to live something different, relax and enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

I was expecting more 😔 - Guide was great, very efficient and great communication. The views from the train were good but I wouldn’t say they were spectacular….
