Arrive in charming Olinda and begin exploring. Founded in 1534 and named a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1982, historic Olinda retains many fine examples of colonial-era architecture, despite the Dutch burning down much of the city in the early 17th century.

Stop for a photo of the picturesque views of Recife and Boa Viagem, and enjoy a refreshing beverage before returning to your Hotel.

We were here on a cruise stop for the day. We generally limit our ship bus tours and go private thru Viator - and we are so glad we got Leo. Knowledgeable, good English, enthusiastic, flexible, fun.
He made Recife and Olinda stop much better. Do not hesitate to book Leo, and he will for sure adjust to you’re personal wants.

We had a great day Recife with Leo! Prior to our arrival in Recife, on a cruise ship, Leo was easy to contact and make plans with. Leaving the ship, we knew exactly when and where we would meet, and everything went as planned. From the cruise port we took a nice walking tour of the nearby historic section. Leo was very good at passing on the history of Recife and its culture. From there we got in the car, and we were off to discover other parts of the city. Making a number of stops, we saw a number of interesting sites and Leo's knowledge and experience made it all the better. During our tour, Leo made sure we were doing what we wanted to do, and not what he wanted to do. In the afternoon we made our way to Olinda which is slightly different in history and culture than Recife. At each stop, Leo gave us ample time to explore and shop if we wanted to. We had a great day and made it back to the ship with ample time. Talking with other passengers on the ship, I believe we made a good decision booking with Leo and not a ship tour. If we ever get back to Recife, we will definitely be contacting Leo for another tour. Thanks for a memorable day!
