Tour cancelled, poor service

I bought the tour via TripAdvisor. The payment was processed in the morning of 08/07. At the end of the day, I was informed via WhatsApp that the next day's tour had been cancelled and that I could remarket. Since I had another appointment scheduled, I requested cancellation. The Tangol attendant warned me that Viator would contact me and, after 3 days, that has not happened yet. Pure disappointment!!!

Sightseeing from the water

You can see a lot, especially the beautiful Museum of Contemporary Art by Oskar Niemeyer in Niteroy, of course only from the outside

boat ride

they switched our departure time from 11am to 4pm by just sending a booking confirmation like this '11:00am boat trip confirmed. departure time 4:00pm'. That was misleading and another group and us ended up at the marina at the wrong time. they were selling cold drinks on board but you shouldn't arrive hungry.
