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.

An unforgettable cultural experience - The tour of Recife and Olinda is a must-see, especially for those who visit the region for the first time! Our guide, Joselito, guided us through a rich scenario in the ancient Recife, exploring various points such as the museums of Giant Dolls, the sculptures of Brennand and the Marco Zero, where we also could appreciate the exhibition of Sebastião Salgado. Next, we head to the charming Olinda, where the Church of the See, the handicraft fairs, the iconic Casa de Alceu Valença, among other attractions stand out. Despite the limited time to absorb so much history and culture, the tour is extremely rich and worth every minute!

Good idea of Recife and Olinda, with the nice company of Seu Jó (driver) - It is worth it because it is a visit directed to the main points, without the concern of traffic / parking.

Beautiful place to visit....but with another tourist agency - They sold me the private car tour to recife and Olinda with a guide in Spanish. Beyond that the place is beautiful and we passed very well, the guide was not in Spanish. I understood hardly if we spoke slowly. He spoke almost no words in Spanish. When I asked him a question in Spanish he was blocked because he did not understand me. That doesn’t mean that He did a very good job within his means, it’s not his fault that they put him in an awkward situation. On the other hand we were never told at the agency that that day was a holiday and therefore almost all the things we visited were closed. We couldn’t get into several places that even passed me the cost I was going to have to get into each one. They never told me not to because it was gonna be all closed. Really the agency a mess, the tour very good, the restaurant where they took us very good and the guide took care of getting us perhaps the best table in the place.
