5.00This is a great fun informative activity. It takes about three hours and I estimate it's about 3km walking in all . Really good local food and plenty of it. We stopped at 4 eateries and ate around 14 dishes, drinks are also included. Matheus, our guide, did a great job. It was fun as well as very interesting.
Highly recommended
