Wonderful day (a long day!) trip from Sao Paulo. Mauricio was an energetic and knowledgeable guide. He provided Brazilian historical context that informed the tour and the sites we visited. Aparaceida is a site to behold. This is a must visit for anyone of Catholic faith. We loved seeing all of the visitors and the beautiful basilica. The candle room was a highlight. This is VERY busy place. Prepare for lots of people. Arrive early to obtain a seat for mass. Buy water and stay on top of hydration. All of the people and the open air nature of the location make for a warm day. We would highly recommend.

Mauritius, the driver and Guide of this tour, in addition to being careful and polite, was quite accurate and informative in the historical information of the National Shrine of Aparecida(New and Old)....He had visited the Basilica about 15 years ago. She's much more beautiful and organized. A tour that deserves to be done....

We loved visiting Aparecida and learning more about the history of the city. The cathedral is absolutely breathtaking and our guide, Mauricio, did an excellent job providing us with relevant background information throughout the day.
