  This tour was a taste of the west coast of Brazil and certainly lived up to expectations. The tour leader, Luma was very passionate, energetic and informative about the country, making her a great advert for not just Intrepid Travel, but also Brazil. The small historical city of Paraty was a very historical and cultural place to visit and the island of Ilha Grande was very picturesque. The only trouble was as Ilha Grande was a tourist destination you do get hit with heavily inflated prices and sometimes sub-standard food (this was not the case in Paraty though). The final stop was Rio De Janierio, where the hotel was great (better than the other two) and lived up to all expectation of being one of the most iconic cities in the world (especially as the world record setting Lady Gaga concert coincided with the end of the tour). Now I am just waiting for an Intrepid tour that includes the Pantana and FlorianópolisShow more

  I really enjoyed my guide. She was pleasant and sweet. She knew recommendations for us to eat and tours to attend. Accommodating. When I arrived at the first hotel I was told the water was complementary. But when I checked out I had to pay for the one water bottle I drank. Second hotel.. was ok. Third hotel was the worst. If I had any physical limitations I would not have gotten up the hill. I think the accommodations of the third hotel put restrictions with people with disabilities. In conclusion, they only gave me one towel (No toiletries or face towels). I would not recommend this trip for individuals that are not moderately fit or have some disabilities. Overall I had a Great Guide that earn 5 starsShow more

  Hi LaShawn, thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear of the misinformation regarding the water avaiable, and lack of towels at your stated hotels- we are happy for all feedback and will pass this along to our hotel partners. We are happy to look into the hotel selection with our Customer Care team to see that they are meeting our trip expectations. This is a Basix style tour so sometimes there can be a bit of walking and travel from the city centres for these tours. Keeping in mind the geography of the destination, and of future destinations, we are always happy to discuss mobility with our travellers and can provide a mobility survey if you are not sure a trip is suitable for you or not. We are happy to read that your guide was a five star- and we hope you made some wonderful memories while away! With many thanks.

  A fantastic tour; well organised, informative and thoroughly enjoyable. The group was very well balanced in every respect and everyone got on extremely well. A really relaxed and pleasurable experience. Our guide Sergio was brilliant. he was always at hand if needed and was full of information about the places we visited and of Brazilian culture in general. He looked after us all and kept the group together although, with such a friendly crowd that got on so well together, his his was made a little easier. But that allowed him to be part of the experience. All together a brilliant tour and a smashing holiday. Well done!Show more

  Travel was separated into 2 parts with two tour guides. We did not know that! Poor general explanations about countries we travelled. We were really looking forward to stay on the estancia over new years eve and this was changed a few weeks before we started the travel. Reason was not really clear for us. After talking to the owner of the estancia we figured out that they do not take any groups over new years eve - since 4 years!!! Absolute no go. Intrepud can not offer an itinery whwn they know they have to change. That is not okay and we feel very disappointed.Show more
