This is an interesting tour providing insight into the history of Paraty. The guide spoke good English and was easy to follow and understand. The only criticism was that there was no tour in English during the day and doing the tour in the dark meant we missed some of the exquisite detail of the buildings

Vale muito a pena fazer este passeio guiado pelas ruas do centro histórico de Paraty. Fizemos no fim da tarde. Foi super interessante.

O guia Gabriel foi muito atencioso e trouxe diversas curiosidades além do conteúdo histórico. Ele respondeu a todas as minhas dúvidas com muita paciência! O passeio durou exatamente duas horas e a sensação é de que poderia ter durado mais, pois foi realmente muito interessante passear pela cidade e ouvir as histórias. Foi uma experiência muito bacana!
