  Nun and his Fsther were very accommodating as we needed to stop by a pharmacy and stock up on drugs. They took us to one and pre-ordered meds from a sister location for the remainder. We also got to see the various neighborhoods, sooo many lovely beaches, finally the Big Mall, RioMar. We also went to lunch at GHeller steakhouse- fantastic- lunch about $10 with BBQ off the skewer meat and huge buffet. Stops at the Cathedral, English Bridge and Pirate bar, too. We ran over time but never felt rushed or pushed. Highly recommend these guys!

  Arrangements were made with owner Fabio thru Viator. Our guide was Carlos, and the driver was Charlton (whose mother named him after the star of the film Ben Hur). Fabio communicated promptly and gave us great information as we planned our visit. When our cruise ship was delayed 6 hours, Fabio quickly made adjustments and was ready for our arrival. Carlos and Charlton were a great team. Carlos is a second-year university student while Charlton is a taxi driver and provided the car. Carlos covered pop culture and the fun beaches, including the best place to get fresh fruit juices - I had an amazing cashew fruit juice, while travel companions had coconut and blends of fruits I suspect you'd have a hard time buying outside Brazil. When Carlos didn't know why a park was named after martyrs, he consulted Charlton and conferred in Portuguese for the answer. Charlton knew the best routes to take, and appeared in an instant when we were ready to move. Charlton's car was clean, comfortable, and nicely air conditioned. We saw Crocobeach, Varjota, Martyrs Square, the eponymous Fortress, the English Bridge/ Pier, the Jose Alencar Theatre, and the Central Market. We were back at the ship in perfect time. What a fantastic day. Amazing beaches. Music everywhere!

• Viator should pick a different tour operator

  First, after a couple of earlier communications with Fortal World Tours (arranged through Viator) to confirm details the tour guide was an hour late. My texts and calls to them from the port were unanswered. Viator did answer when I called them, but then the guide showed up. Though knowing my husband uses a wheelchair it required contortions to get it in the small trunk. I was aware we had to pay additional cash for an English-speaking guide, and her English was good. However the sweet lady knew little about the details of the city, as it seemed the driver was the knowledgeable one. He did drive us around to see the city, which was dingy and unremarkable, but we had to ask numerous questions about what we were seeing to find out history and significance of what we saw. We could have learned as much or more in a taxi if the driver spoke English. We did see some nice beaches, statues and monuments (had to ask what they were about), and a few interesting buildings. Viator needs to find a better supplier of tours for Fortaleza.

  It was OK tour. The young English speaker was fine except not always easy to understand, the driver was very good (Oleg) and often provided helpful additional details that younger guide was not sure about it. We enjoyed the tour except that our guide decided that the cutoff was at Noon assuming the start of the tour was at 8, but I provided a couple of days earlier that the cruise will allow us to get off the ship not before 9 am and got a response that this was OK. But in general we were able to see the most interesting sites of the city and even get a taste of Fortaleza ice cream.

• Interesting history and culture
