Great deal! - I was reluctant to book through a third party with Viator, but it worked out very well. The price included transfers, a guide, train ticket, snack, lunch and more. Great deal and fun experience!

Amazing experience. - Incredible experience, everyone should do it at least once in their life. The whole tour is incredible, we went in the botoque car that has snacks, and drinks are available. The caveat is only when you hire the complete tour including the van that will pick you up and take them back to the hotel, if you have children under 5 years old, these children don't pay and they don't have the right to a seat on the train or in the van, they have to ride on their parents' legs.

Morretes train - Very nice train journey through the Atlantic rainforest. Unfortunately, it was a bit foggy, so I was unable to see some waterfalls and the water mill along the way. The organization was somewhat flawed, had reserved an English guide and paid 30 dollars extra and was still in a wagon with a Portuguese guide. I had the best experience anyway. made it and enjoyed the ride. The town was nice but not very special, but we had very tasty Barreados. All in all a successful day but too expensive.....

Average ride - Extremely tiring ride. The train has a very low speed and takes too long on the journey. The beautiful part is when it goes through the Serra do Mar. At the beginning and end of the journey there are no interesting attractions and even so the train goes too slowly on this route. I went in the “luxury” car, a bad snack with a crushed sandwich on a plate with film on top, the coffee ran out quickly and there was no replacement. In Morretes, the restaurant they put us in was average. I expected more from this tour.

Uncomfortable train trip in Curitiba. - It was a very long trip with not much to see. The trees along side the railway are masking the few things to see. the diesel locomotives are not in good condition and emit a lot of smoke. what is unpleasant in the tunnels. The food served is typical and pretty good. I will probably not recommend it to friends.

Nice train ride, but the restaurant was awesome. - The train ride was ok. So many people and the whole process to board takes too long. The best part was the restaurant in Antonina, the food was simple and tastes awesome and hosts were incredible. The staff in the restaurant was polite and professional. Would recomend that restaurant to anyone.
