Tourist tour is not a place of political discourse. - The tour is simply amazing and this was not the first time I went. 24 years later I was able to see man's damage in nature. I met the river village that today no longer exists due to the invasion of the sea after the construction of the hydroelectric power plant. The boring was the speech of the Guide who accompanied us, for several times she says that the world is not the square of our apartments, as if we were a bunch of alienates from our gourmet balcony. She doesn’t know us, she doesn’t know our history (my example that I came back 24 years later). It is very important the design of guides and the appreciation of the place, culture and people but sub judge your visitors is a very thin line. It was quite uncomfortable to hear this phrase several times.

Unique experience! Worth seeing! - The schooner trip to Foz do Sao Francisco with a stop at the Maceió Dunes was simply fantastic. An important river for national integration, originating in Minas Gerais and flowing into the Atlantic, it offers us enchanting landscapes, with Sergipe on one bank and Alagoas on the other. The golden dunes of Alagoas, very close to Foz, are of indescribable beauty, where you can comfortably accommodate in stalls offering local delicacies and crafts. Savoring freshly caught shrimp, roasted over coals, with a sweet flavor, very different from the frozen ones normally served, was also a unique experience. Note thousand. I recommend.

Interesting - Interesting tour with the boat departing from Piaçabuçu to the mouth of the São Francisco River with a stop at the golden dunes. Unfortunately, the 4x4 tour over the dunes that someone we knew took some time ago was not offered. Interesting tour due to the opportunity to navigate the last km of the river of national integration, admiring beautiful landscapes.

Worth every penny! - The tour is unmissable, exciting and less tiring than traveling to the canyons. It was a safe journey, with a comfortable catamaran, and the landscape is simply fantastic. The river is not dangerous in the parts where the guide recommends diving. On the contrary, very docile and with a pleasant temperature. The view of the dunes is also enchanting. Personally, I don't like guides who want to pretend to be motivational coaches or turn the tour into a stage for their side-jobs, as if it were as important or more important than the tour itself. But the group seems to appreciate this approach. For me, this was the only point that didn't add up. But other than that, they are attentive (especially towards the elderly), very well informed and ensure a good dynamic.
