A perfect day in Santos with an exceptional guide.

The day was wonderful, the sky was blue without a single cloud. Our guide, Danilo, made everything even more special. We experienced a little bit of everything in Santos and learned about the city's history and also a bit about Brazil up close. It was a perfect day. The tour and the guide are highly recommended!!!

I highlyrecommend this Tour!

I had an amazing 10-hour tour with Danillo. He is extremely knowledgeable, exceptionally organized, detail-oriented, and genuinely respectful. He answered every single question with patience and expertise and went above and beyond to ensure that everyone was engaged and truly enjoying the experience. Although the tour was scheduled for 10 hours, he extended it by over 30 minutes to make sure we had enough time for all activities—especially allowing extra time at the beach. He also personally drove each of us back to our hotels or to the train station. I would give him a 10+ without hesitation and highly, enthusiastically recommend him to anyone looking for a fantastic tour experience

Wonderful day in Santos

We had a fantastic experience with this tour. Our guide, Danilo, spoke fluent English and everything was perfectly organized from start to finish. The highlight for me was the cable car ride up to Monte Serrat and the breathtaking view from the top. At the Coffee Museum, Danilo gave a very engaging and insightful explanation about coffee and its influence on the development of Santos and the Brazilian economy as a whole. The tour also included a buffet lunch with a wide selection, food was delicious. The journey itself, both there and back, through the mountain ridge was equally impressive. I would definitely recommend this tour!
