What is the hotel category for this?

The accommodations are Pousadas similar to 3 stars hotel.

Is it possible to make it private under the same rate? I would also like to know if the tour can be in Portuguese.

Yes, it is possible to organize the tour as a private tour and it can also be conducted in Portuguese. Both options can be arranged without any problem. Regarding the price, the rate would need to be re-quoted for a private tour, as private services are priced differently from the regular group tour.

Parts of the experience were good and parts were not as expected. I will share both the good and the bad. Good: Since this was the first time we have visited Brazil, having the hotel transfer meet us at the airport and take us back to the airport worked well. Our guides ranged from excellent to fine: Juan was our guide at Iguazu. He was excellent, knowledgeable, and personable. I would give him 5 stars! Maria was our guide in Rio. She was friendly and did a great job in getting us to the places that were "must see" spots around the city. I would give her 4 stars. Eduardo was our guide in Sao Paulo. He was knowledgeable about the locations, but was not sensitive to know which places where there was a timed entry (Municipal Theater and Farol Santander (observation deck)). We were able to see the entrance to both buildings, but missed the opportunity to see either of these two iconic locations. I would give him 3 stars. Bad: The hotels may have been considered "luxury" hotels when they were first constructed, but they were old and not as nice as we had expected for the price. The lobby/reception areas looked nice when we arrived, but the buildings themselves were old and we found the rooms to be adequate/marginal, at best. When arriving in Sao Paulo, we learned that most international flights arrive between 5-9am. It would seem that better accommodations would have been made as part of the tour to allow us to check into the hotel upon arrival rather than having to pay extra for the stay. Communications from your company were not very timely.Show more
