Passeio excelente, bastante profissionalismo da empresa. Num primeiro momento a empresa falou que o guia passaria no hotel as 6:30 h da manhã, sendo que contratei as 8:00h, fiquei 1h30m aguardando mas depois a empresa se desculpou, inclusive nos deu um bônus e ficou tudo certo.

Wonderful

Paseo para conocer la historia de Rexife y Olinda

Fernanda_M, Dec 2024
El transporte se presentó a la hora indicada y ek paseo fue muy lindo. Éramos los únicos que hablaban español, así que teníamos un guía para nosotros que nos explicó todo en español. El resto del grupo se manejó con una guía en portugués. Un lindo paseo para conocer la parte histórica de Recife y Olinda, lo recomiendo.
