Full Day Excursion to Petrópolis from Rio de Janeiro

9.Full Day Excursion to Petrópolis from Rio de Janeiro

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 918 reviews · 8 to 10 hours (approx.) · from $42.18

A full day in Petrópolis from Rio, mixing empire-era sights, a short shopping street stop, and optional brewery tastings, with lunch included.

“The day was not organised well. Visits to chocolate factory and brewery were cancelled. The guide Kao had no English vocabulary. She was apparently fluent in Spanish and Portuguese but her English was very poor. I was the only participant who needed explanations in English. I got hardly any. The trip was a washout, in a sense waste of money and time. Since I had paid you it was your responsibility to ensure proper guide. You failed in doing that.”

“This half day experience was the perfect about of time to see these main attractions! Our tour guide, Publio, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We was able to translate in English, Spanish and Portuguese. He ensured that everyone could understand what we was talking about. Sadly we had cloudy and rainy weather, but we still made the best of it! Publio got us to the top of Sugarloaf mountain right in time for sunset (we can only image what it would have looked like without the fog)! Overall highly recommend this company and excursion! * we would still recommend to be on time at the pick up spot but note,…”
