Flexible and highly customizable wonderful tour - Really appreciate the flexibility the your company and the tour guide have. I signed up for the tour an decided I want to go on an eco tour outside of the standard tour instead. The tour company just connect me directly to the guide and we modify. It’s really easy without always having the tour operator as a middle man. I got exactly the local beach and waterfall experience I wanted, even though I need to pay a bit extra, it’s well worth it

Good tour - Everything was a s described. We had an enjoyable time. My only suggestion for the operators is that for this price you could include at least a couple of drinks and a snack on the beach.

Relaxing and educational - Luiz Henrique was very professional and a fun guide. Around SP was very good in booking a last minute private tour and it was amazing. He was prompt, very detailed-oriented, and knowledgeable. He showed me amazing spots and gave me thorough insights about Santos and Guaraja. Will definitely recommend this company.

Amazing Tours with a Extraordinary Guide - Renato was the best guide that I have ever experienced. Not only was he very reliable, fluent in English and knowledgeable about the area, but he also was flexible to adjust the tour to our needs. If you are looking for a tour guide who is perfectly able to adapt to your needs and very passionate about the country & culture - I highly recommend Renato, for any tour.

Fun & Educational - I really enjoyed this day tour. My tour guide, Luiz, was timely, friendly and very knowledgeable. My Portuguese needs a lot of work so it was nice to have someone explain the sites and history to me in English. The beaches were beautiful, the coffee museum was very interesting and the food was very good. Thanks to Luiz, I had an enjoyable trip and got some pointers on Portuguese grammar.

Great day of sightseeing - Went with Luis as tourguide to Santos and surroundings. After an hour driving and chatting from SP we arrived in Santos. Got lots of info re the city. Coffee museum was closed on monday but nevertheless we had a Jacu bird coffee. Than to the beach for wandering around. Great lunch and some swimming. Due to the weather we went back to SP early so Luis showed me some of SP as well. All relaxed and plenty of time. It was a pleasure to do this trip. Good conversations. Luis spoke very good English which helped. Would recommend this trip! Thanks

Coffeetime with Adi - We had a fun time with Adi Zegman, our guide, who was good enough to go out of his way to pick us up at CGH, spend a long day showing us around and deliver us safely to our hotel with undeflagging graciousness and good spirits. It was a long drive to Santos but Adi kept up with interesting conversational exchanges on Brazilian history, culture and life in general while pointing out landmarks and landscapes in particular. The only disappointing experience was the coffee tasting at the much-touted Coffee Museum. It was not up to par! The server did not prepare sufficiently hot water and when we complained about the tepid and mediocre beverage results, she blamed it on the cooling breezes without offering any apology or compensation except for one tiny robust cup that our guide managed to get her to redo to save the day. The beaches, on the other hand, were stunning as expected. Thank you Adi.
