Stadstour door Olinda inclusief Instituto Ricardo Brennand

Hermoso lugar!! Muchos lugares para recorrer y poder profundizar sobre los rituales que conlleva el Carnaval Brasilero. Paisajes hermosos

First off, we booked & paid for a private tour for 2 people. The tour guide told us no… it was with 6 people. So, with no other choice, we decided to make the best of it. The tour guide clearly stated our route, stops, and that we would return at 15:00/ 3pm. We enjoyed a day with the others and especially enjoyed sharing a delicious meal with our tour group at a wonderful local restaurant. The tour itself was very good. The guide was knowledgeable of the locations and history. However, at 2pm as the we came closer to our ending time of 3pm… it was clear we were running out of time and kept explaining to the guide that we HAD to be back on the ship no later than 3:30. He insisted on going to the last stop, which took an hour to get to. We insisted we did not have time, but he continued. He kept asking what time our ship sailed and we told him it didn’t matter what time it sailed, we had clear instructions of all aboard at 3:30. We made it very clear that we HAD to be back on at 3:30. He insisted we had time and promised to leave the last stop by 3pm and that we would be at the ship by 3:30. We did not believe it was possible and clearly expressed our concerns. He walked the others into the last stop ( a museum) and we chose not participate and remained at the entrance by the van and driver. Our tour finally left the museum at 3:15, made it to the ship at 4:10pm!! We would have been left had the ship officers not called me to find out where we were. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE!!!! Viator needs to have a SERIOUS discussion with this guide about the strict all-aboard requirements of a cruise ship! All the port shuttles were done and gone for the day… the ship had to ask the shuttle company to keep the building open and hold one shuttle bus & staff just to get the 6 of us back to the ship! Ridiculous! Embarrassing! Unprofessional! Rude! Extremely Stressful! All because the Tour Guide did not manage the timing of his tour & did not listen to us!

Passeio incrível. Lugares, casas, igrejas, ladeiras, mirantes e a história do local são apaixonantes. Vale a pena. Olinda é realmente linda!
