4.00The bus was comfortable, with air conditioning. We visited Recife and then Olinda. The guide, Baruque, was attentive and always thought about the group's safety. A highlight was the Puppet Museum in Recife. Only in Olinda was the visit too quick.
Cultural tour.

5.00The walk was very good! Especially for those who do not know the cities of Olinda and Recife. We had an idea of architecture, culture, history beyond contact with people.
I was left planted in front of the hotel for more than 5 hours

4.00We had a great day in Olinda and Recife. The guide was great. Just that they didn't warn us correctly of the time and we had a hard time getting back to clarify that it wasn't eight o'clock, but nine o'clock.

1.00I bought 2 tickets yesterday for the full day tour for today spt 14th, 2025 around old recife and olinda. I chose a pick up point that is far away from the flat where we are staying. We booked an uber for 7:15am, on a sunday morning. We got to the point at 7:30. At the pick up point, an hotel un rua bom viagem, nobody had the slightest idea of the tour. We waited until past 8:30. We then called, internationally, to an operator of Martur Viagems e Turismo, who had no idea about our reservation. At 9:12 am they contacted my by whatsap indicating they had found my reservation!!!! Now, at around 10:20am I wrote back to them requesting a full reimbursement of the tour plus the back and forth uber. Up to this moment I have had no response whatsoever.
Nice tour, with him I...

4.00The tour was very good, especially the visit to Olinda. The guide Genilson was excellent, picked me up at a certain time and was very excited throughout the tour, with simple and interesting explanations about the history of the city and the sights. The only point I think that could improve would be to take a little walk in the streets of Olinda, to better admire the colorful houses (we only saw from the car). In addition, I recommend the tour to everyone who wants to know Olinda and the zero mark of Recife and its surroundings.
