Unforgettable experience Petropolis. - A very entertaining trip, the Aline Bruno Tour Guide, really very concerned with everyone and the historical details. We had a great time, and were fascinated with the experience. Highly recommended the tour. You will be picked up from the hotel (not so early) for what is appreciated, returning to it. We didn't know Petropolis, and we took advantage of learning history. Cathedral, Crystal Palace, Bohemian Brewery, Chocolate, and others. Full day!!!!

Wonderful tour and Guide, poor service - The price was very good! The tour was great! A cultural and instagramavel tour It lasts all day and is worth it! The guide mom Cris (as she asked to be called) is very fun and shares several interesting information about the culture of the imperial era. The only bad thing that made me not give 5 stars is the WhatsApp service. It's just awful!!! It takes more than 24 hours to respond and is always extremely short and thick!

The friends of Panama - All very well with mommy Cris, you visit several places in some you enter and others you do not, the history of royalty is very interesting, the Imperial Museum is very impressive, the variety of lunch is very good, the tour of the Bohemian Brewery was our favorite, it would be good to add a few more minutes since it is huge and a stop to go to the bathroom on the return.

Horrible Tour. Choose a different one. - We spent over 2 hours picking up people from all over Rio, and it completely ruined the schedule. I am writing this review at 6:15 and we still haven't left Petropolis. Despite it being on the itinerary we didn't stop at or even see either the Santos Dumont house or Palácio Quitandinha. We circled the cathedral while being told there wasn't time for it and then dropped on a street for an hour of shopping. The only positives were the bus was relatively nice as was the driver. I would not recommend this trip at all.

How are they still in business? - This tour was so awful I do not even know where to begin. 1. I booked a tour in English. The guide barely spoke English. 2. Pick up was supposed to be at 7:40am. At 7:45, I received a WhatsApp message that the guide would be there in 25 minutes. 3. The tour was to begin at 8am. To me, that means we are on the highway to Petrópolis at 8am; everyone has been picked up. Oh no. We spent another TWO AND A HALF HOURS circling through the city, picking up people. We didn’t leave for Petrópolis until 10:30. 4. Traffic. Apparently, the driver doesn’t have GPS or otherwise monitor traffic. I am actually on this tour NOW. It’s 12:15 and we STILL haven’t arrived to Petrópolis because the road there is closed!! This whole tour has been a comedy of errors and it hasn’t even actually begun! I am wasting an entire day riding on an uncomfortable diesel bus to nowhere.
