Amazing day trip with lots to see.
My tour guide Bruno was simply amazing. The conversations regarding general knowledge of Petropolis, Rio.and Brazil, and recommendations on everything from hiking to dining were every bit worth the trip. Petropolis is a lovely, quaint city with an interesting history. One note, we skipped the brewery which apparently isn't very interesting, but instead took a drive and quick hike through Tijuca forest! Thank you for an amazing day trip!

Cool retreat from Rio...
Cool retreat from Rio heat exploring the Imperial Palace used in Summer by the Royal family. Cathedral had beautiful stained glass windows. Lunch was an average buffet and hotel pick up of all passengers took 2 hours before leaving Rio.

Perfect day
Our tour was perfect. Our tour guide Romulo and our driver, coincidentally, Romulo made a great team. We are an older couple (73 & 75), and they took great care for our safety and comfort. Saw every thing we wanted to see and more. It was wonderful, getting out of Rio for the day with a welcome respite from the heat and overall frenetic energy of the city. Petropolis is calm, cool and historically interesting.

Highly recommend this 5-star experience!
Our day trip from Rio to Petropolis was simply amazing! Our guide, Flavio, was prompt, courteous, and very friendly and knowledgeable. He shared a lot of information about day-to-day life, as well as interesting history about the places we visited. We saw some truly breathtaking places and stored wonderful pictures and memories. We highly recommend this experience!

Petrópolis day trip from Rio
Marco was our guide on this well organised excursion. He was extremely knowledgeable, and handled the group admirably - especially with explaining everything in different languages - his English being excellent. We enjoyed the lunch stop; the food was very good. The palace was interesting, but slightly underwhelming. We were rather disappointed with the ‘shopping’ stop, as the direction we were recommended was of little interest to us, but apparently is favoured by those wanting typical Brazilian fashion. However the main thoroughfare, (in the opposite direction), which we discovered later, was far more interesting for us.
We finished the trip with a stop at the chocolate factory cafe, which turned out to be longer than planned, due to the police incident and unrest that day in Rio. This was handled well by the company, obviously concerned for our safety. Thank you.

Great experience ✨
My sister and I had a wonderful customized private tour in Petrópolis with Wagner. He was knowledgeable, professional, and attentive to our interests. Wagner tailored the itinerary perfectly to our preferences and shared fascinating historical insights and local stories that truly brought the city to life. We were able to take a moment and enjoy in every places. The tour was well-paced, comfortable, and thoughtfully organized. Thanks to Wagner, our experience in Petrópolis was both memorable and enriching. Highly recommended and worth the money🫶
