Wonderful day in Petropolis - Excellent trip the driver was excellent and we felt safe going up and down the mountains. The guide Henry was wonderful, knowledgeable and attentive. Gave us guided tour but also allowed us to explore alone. A wonderful day. I would recommend to everyone.

Marcelo is the man - We did four tours with Marcelo and his company while in Brazil. All three were outstanding. After booking a Rio tour with him, we had a couple days to fill in our itinerary and he suggested this tour. It did not disappoint. It was a great change of pace from Rio full of history and culture. The palace and casino were both must see attractions. It was also our last day of the trip and he flawlessly coordinated our drop off at the airport. If you need a top Rio tour company, look no further. Marcelo will work with you, adjust, and customize to fit you.

A great tour with Fabiana! Plenty of photo opportunities. - A great tour with Fabriana , our guide, on a very rainy day. No problem with the rain as tour is mostly indoors . Excellent architecture and history. Although quite a way from Rio, its well worth a visit once you’ve seen The main sights in Rio ie Christ the Redemer etc.

A corner in Brazil submerged in the beautiful COPD - Petropolis is one of the excursions that people who visit Rio de Janeiro do not usually take. Error. Petropolis is a wonderful city built in a golden age when the emperors of Portugal had to migrate to settle in this Portuguese Colony. Immersed in the Belle era, petropolis is a lost place in which both the imperial castle and the entire city is amazingly preserved without being altered. It is a place that sometimes looks Swiss in the middle of a tropical paradise. It is a place where you will spend an unforgettable day.
