Appreciation

I would like to express my sincerest thanks to Greg Tur for the absolutely impeccable experience that they gave me during the Carnival at Sambadrome do Anhembi. From the first contact for the package closure, the team demonstrated professionalism, organization and exceptional attention. Every detail was carefully planned: the comfortable and well-located accommodation, the punctual and organized transportation, and, of course, the Carnival cabin experience, which exceeded all my expectations. Customer service was extraordinary both before and during the event. They were always available to clarify doubts, provide support and make sure everything went perfectly. They clearly work with commitment, responsibility and true respect for their customers. Participating in the Carnival is a unique experience, and living it with the peace of mind knowing that everything is well organized makes a big difference. Thanks to Greg Tur, I was able to enjoy every moment without worry, in safety and total comfort. I recommend this company with closed eyes. If you are looking for excellence, confidence and an unforgettable experience, Greg Tur is certainly the best choice. Thank you so much for making this Carnival such a special and unforgettable memory. I hope to repeat the experience very soon!

Fantastic!!!

It was just fantastic!!! What a surreal energy, the parade was beautiful, the food was great, varied drinks for all tastes. It was very important to have the transfer attached to the pq package after we left the parade it was quite difficult to pick up a transport and having a transport already included was very good. The guides who were with us were wonderful and careful with everyone. It was worth it!!! Thank you Gregtur team

Fantastic support and experience during Carnaval!

I really enjoyed Carnaval in São Paulo with Gregtur Tours. They provided pick up and drop off and an escorted service which made my first experience of Carnaval enjoyable and worry free.
