A wonderful, restful trip
A brilliant relaxing tour with carmen, Chloe and the lovely man (sorry I don’t have your name) We had cloudy conditions but the tour was relaxing, informative and such great fun. Some interesting history shared and carmen was an excellent captain, steering the boat really smoothly. I felt very looked after as I wandered around the boat. Would love to do again!

Lucy was determined to have all 19 of her."Kids for the day." enjoy the drive the ride the sightseeing, and the tour.... and also not lose a single one of us. She was a walking encyclopedia and enhanced our experience which my mom and I are very grateful..

Fantastic 5-Hour São Paulo Tour with Gustavo!
My two colleagues and I had an incredible private tour with Gustavo. Covering a city as massive as São Paulo in 5 hours sounds tough, but Gustavo made it look easy—we felt like we got to see everything! He is exceptionally knowledgeable about the city's history and culture, and super flexible with adapting the route to our group's pace. Highly recommend booking a tour with him if you want an efficient, top-tier overview of the city.

Nice brunch cruise.
Claire was absolutely fantastic. She was very personable and engaging with all passengers. She mixed drinks very well and said she learned English in 7 months a few years ago, spoke very well. Would like to have more food items available for brunch service, croissant, sandwich, protein-based (meat) items. Rita and I look forward to you expanding your service.
