Nous avons bénéficié de la bienveillance et des connaissances de Bruno toute la journée : du matin 6am à notre hotel jusqu'au retour à 20h.
Bruno nous à exposé en détail les différentes options et s'est parfaitement adapté à nous. Connaissant l'île depuis de très nombreuses années il était idéal.
Agréable, parlant parfaitement anglais, respectant des moments sans lui ou plus calme, il nous a fait passé une journée inoubliable.
L'île est magnifique, les nombreuses plages quasi désertes avec une eau limpide : paradisiaque

Our guide Bruno was fantastic! This was such a personal, off the beaten path experience of Ilha Grande. It was three of us only plus the guide who told us so much about Brazil on the way there and back. The island is beautiful, and Bruno seems to know everyone who lives there, so it's a really personal and local experience. Once on the island, you get to hike and explore the nature, and then spend some time on the beach (so beautiful). If you are looking for off the beaten track experience, and explore a beautiful island with a local - this is for you! Would go again.
