We were the first being picked up and it took cle to 2 hours to finish picking up the rest of the passengers. Buzios is nice and our tour guide was a very nice gentleman. On the way back the driver had to get gas with everyone on board when he had all afternoon to do it. Food was not good.

Too many people on the boat...

Sandra Z, Feb 2016

Too many people on the boat, couldn't even find a seat, had to stand most oft he cruise. Lunch at 3pm is too late in an average kilo restaurant. Don't know what all the fuss is about for Buzios. Would recommend the other day trip to Angra dos Reis as a better alternative

I was so disappointed with this...

Callsuma A, Jan 2016

I was so disappointed with this tour, I almost felt like crying, the tour leader spoke in Spanish, French and Portuguese only. He said he would translate English to me but he only said like two words and answered one question. He was so oblivious to the impact this would have on my day trip. I didn't know what was being said or going on. I had to second guess. This trip is made for locals so if you speak Portuguese then great otherwise not so great. I didn't even get to see Bridget Bardot statue, I didn't get an option for the city tour and the boat charged me for food and drinks even though the programme said it was free. The only good thing about the this trip is that the restaurant was fantastic, the food was amazing and they were clear the drinks would cost. Buzios is a beautiful town with lovely shops and friendly locals but you need two days not one day in order to see everything. If you like rowdy parties and a loud DJ then book this party boat tour. if you speak Portuguese, and Spanish this is ideal for you. Luckily I have a GCSE Spanish grade from ten years ago so I was able to second guess meeting points etc but it wasn't enough to get me through the day and completely ruined my day trip to the lack of English translation.
