“Gabby was our tour guide and she was great! Our flight was 3 hours late, which made us late for our hotel pickup. Then there was a mixup with where we were to be picked up, but Gary and Alex (our driver) were very accommodating and took us to a wonderful Brazilian restaurant. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was superb. We only were able to experience one place Due to the late pickup, but I would highly recommend this tour and would Definitely book it again.”
