Very good ! I will be back - Nice excursion, we also did Praia do Forte, very good snorkeling! Transfers from the airport to the hotel were good, the guides were very friendly and explanatory, and punctual, the air-conditioned bus did not provide much cooling. As something to improve

Well - The guide was not clear in informing the duration of the activities.
Little freedom to choose, for example: they did not let us choose the table in a restaurant.

Few information - It took place on a Monday, when we arrived in Bahia we found that the churches were closed that day. We should inform you about this circumstance when hiring it.
