Review of Santos’ 7-hour small-group tour, with beaches, Monte Serrat, Pelé and Coffee museums, historic sights, transport, and practical tips.
“The tour could be compacted into 3 or 4 hour tour. Not much to see at Mount Serrat and zoobotanic park. The tour description said Santos major highlight is the the largest beach garden of 5335 meters long full of flowers and trees but the van only drove by fast following traffic so we can't see much from the van. Should have included a short stop at the beach to see the beach garden. Tour guide Mary is knowledgeable, well organized and good communication. She did good job to explain the city history. Greg Tour sent us picture of meeting point at cruise port which is very helpful. Santos cruise…”

“Cancelled late in the evening via WhatsApp due to not having enough people. Too late for me to rebook another experience with anyone else as I was leaving that night. They should have communicated this earlier. Had to get Viator involved to get a refund from them.”
Explore Rio’s Olympic Boulevard, Museum of Tomorrow, Kobra Mural, and AquaRio on a guided four-hour cultural tour.
“El guía fue excelente. El tour en general es bueno, pero la peor parte es la larga caminata por el bulevar para llegar al museo del mañana. Esta parte del tour se debería obviar y hacer el traslado en el mismo minibús.”

Explore Rio’s Museum of Tomorrow with guided transport, interactive exhibits, Mauá Square views, and Olympic Boulevard street art.
“This museum is different from the usual. There were lots of interactive activities and it really causes you to think about the planet’s future and mankind. Our guide (Marcos) was great guiding us through the exhibits and was very accommodating to my mobility issues.”
Explore MUSA and INPA in Manaus with hotel transport, forest trails, wildlife exhibits, and a 42-meter canopy tower.
“The communication before the tour was terrible, and we ended up arriving at the meeting before 10. Others on the tour were the old a meeting time of 10:30 (they were on the same ship that my wife and I were on). we ended up waiting until 11:00 for 2 other couples that never showed up. The meeting point was in the port reception building, which was blistering hot (the feels like temp that day peaked at 107 degrees). The remainder of the tour was ok, but the haphazard start and lengthy wait really drained our energy and enthusiasm.”

“We had a very good time with Edison who showed us really interesting places and gave as a lot of insights to Brazilian history. His English was very good so that it was a real pleasure to listen to his explanations. We enjoyed the trip and can recommend the guide as well as the tour - especially if you want to learn something about Brazilian history and culture.”
Review of Manaus MUSA, with forest trails, nurseries, sunset tower, guide quality, costs, access, and tips before booking.
“The museum itself was great and definitely worth the visit, however the price for this tour is not justified and frankly misleading. I paid a $110 Canadian dollars for 3 people (so a total of $330) for just an uber. Entry fee was not included in this so that was another $50 for 3 people. The tour says there is a guide that's provided and while the guide was knowledgeable in local flora, it's not the same guide that lets you explore hidden/special trails, which is what the tour made it sound like. If you want explore the hidden trails, you have to pay more. Everyone else on the main…”
