“Pior experiência da minha vida! Conselho que dou é NÃO FAÇAM. Primeiro que fui no ponto de encontro e não tinha ninguém lá, cheguei 4h15 e o horário marcado era às 4h30. Daí fiquei em plena madrugada do Rio esperando responderem as minhas mensagem ou atenderem as minhas ligações e nada. Daí tive que ir na orla da praia saindo de quiosque em quiosque procurando o responsável pela atividade. Só conseguir fazer pois tinha um lá que tinha parceria com a “ empresa” ao qual contratei, caso contrário não iria conseguir fazer a atividade. O rapaz que me atendeu me passou a informação que eles não tinham mais o ponto…”

“The trip was OK. The only thing I didn't like about it was they don't actually take you to the three beaches listed. You just sit on a boat for three hours and then have some time to explore one inland part of Búzios. There is no beach hopping or exploration of the various beaches despite what the listing says.”

“Quería conocer las playas, obviamente de eso se trataba el paseo, pero el día anterior me armaron un tour más completo con visita a Piedra del Telégrafo, muy bien y entretenido pero luego sólo dio tiempo para 1 playa Grumari, y a la otra Prainha nos dijeron que sencillamente no alcanzábamos a pasar porque el chofer no podía, una lástima porque lo que yo quería era playas preciosas y el tour fue incompleto. La guía Jessie excelente guía y preocupada siempre de todo el grupo. Me devolvieron la mitad del dinero pero cuando uno anda de viaje y programa un paseo determinado, con errores así te quedas sin conocer lo…”

“Von den angekündigten 4 Stunden saßen wir 2 Stunden im Auto um von der Copacabana bis zum Hafen hoch zu fahren um Kreuzfahrtgäste abzuholen um dann wieder herunter zum Zuckerhut zu fahren . Dafür hatten wir dann 70 Minuten für den Zuckerhut . Das war ok , der Reiseführer hat sich Mühe gegeben, wollte uns dann aber nach dem Zuckerhut nicht zurück zum Hotel fahren sondern in ein Uber oder Taxi setzten . Weil er schon soviel Zeit verloren hatte . Die versprochen Strände haben wir nicht besichtigt. Entsprechend enttäuscht sind wir von diesem Ausflug.”
