Discovering Floripa in one day

Jose_M, Sep 2026
This is an amazing tour that teach you all around the island and explain how the different neighborhoods become a city. Also the history of Floripa, highlighting, important activist that fought for the freedom of slaves, ask Raphael to take you to the top of the mountain, he will know what it is, beautiful and a stunning views of the city, stop in Santa Joaquina and have lunch by the beach. Raphael.., he is like an old friend showing you the city I’m telling you about history and geography.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Thank you so much for your kind words! It was a real pleasure having you here and showing you around Florianópolis. 😊 And honestly, I also felt Jose like an old friend from the very beginning! Some people you just instantly connect with. I’m really glad you enjoyed the experience, and I hope our paths cross again someday. You’ll always be welcome in Floripa!

Wonderful experience

Our day with tour with Lidia was phenomenal. My husband (English speaking only), my two year old and myself were in Florianopolis for about a week. This day tour with Lidia allowed us to see the majority of the key sites while learning a ton about the history of the island. I cannot speak highly enough about Lidia. She adapted the tour to account for the needs of a small child, making extra stops and adjusting the itinerary. Plus she was simply wonderful with my son, playing with him, singing to him, he literally did not want her to leave at the end of the day. Highly recommend this experience if you are visiting Florianopolis and want really great tour with a wonderful guide!
