“Rio es una ciudad fantastica, tomamos este tour con muchas ganas, sin embargo este tour fue de baja calidad: bicicletas muy viejas y la mia no funcionaban las marchas. Pocas explicaciones y mucho pedaleo , fue una visita panoramica, no guiada.”
ATV quad tour in Arraial do Cabo with training, off-road beach stops, and Praia Grande dunes, 2 hours for $80 per person.
“Horrendous, tour guide didn’t even know we’re coming, imagine I had to message an hour before the tour, even though they should’ve messaged me 24 hours before. It took us 3 hours to get there and back, and we wasted a whole day, worst off when they decided to message us, they mentioned they made a mistake with our booking, and booked it for 07:00 AM rather than 1:30 PM and essentially told us to wait a couple of hours before we get a slot, it’s unbelievable!”
Half-day bike rental in Paraty: 3 hours to pedal colonial streets, beaches, forts, waterfalls, and cachaça with helmet and lock.
