A great walk - Wide walk! You can get to know the historic part of the city and still locate yourself so you can walk alone after the tour. The guide Alexandre was very friendly and helpful.

We received a lot of information about important periods of the history of Brazil, curiosities of the time, we understand how the development of the region occurred since the colonial Brazil, we know the reason for the construction of the various churches!
