IT WOULD BE GOOD IF THE MANAGER WAS AS COMMITTED AS THE GUIDE, TO SHOW THE BEST THE CITY HAS.

I loved the tour, I think I would need to bring someone more dynamic to perform the tuor in João Pessoa. I understand it could be better if the historic buildings were revitalized and if today (26/06/2026) was sunny. For example, when visiting the Hotel Globo, I would like to know a “standard” room of the time in its originality, that is, reconstructed, since the pieces no longer exist. Go deep into the environments, whatever. The church, the Cruise, other points do not need a further explanation and was within the expectations, I understand that the fault is not the guide but the manager. But the part that came, and with the minimum time he did what he could. Patricia of RN, was and is wonderful, I hope to do other trips with her.

Beautiful tour

Excellent ride, and the entire history of Joao Pessoa was very well explained. I was very well attended since I was the only one who spoke Spanish, and they took the time to ensure I understood everything!!!☺️
