Incredible, enriching - Amazing experience. We did the City tour with Rafa, and we left there wanting him as a friend. Super cool, he told us every detail of Paraty. Our tour was much more worthwhile after this experience. It makes all the difference to know the local history. I highly recommend Paraty Tours and the guide Rafa.

Popular expressions and curiosities - The guide Bernardinho is very attentive and good-natured, he introduced us to local history with many references, as well as explaining popular expressions, such as "sem eira nem beira", pointing to the rooftops! It was quite fun! It rained a little, but it didn't hurt anything!

Paraty: past present. - The Citytour was very pleasant, we did it with the guide Bernardino. He demonstrated in-depth knowledge of the city's history and architecture, as well as being very kind to us. The Citytour is essential for all those who don't just want to visit tourist attractions superficially. Paraty is an incredible city, with natural beauty and great food, but it is also full of past and historical significance, ready to be discovered.

Excellent experience - We took the tour with an extremely qualified and polite guide. His name is Luan Silva. It is native to the region and much studied. He knows how to convey local history in a simple way by analyzing the historical situation of the time. In addition to all the content contained in the city tour, he talked about local curiosities and gave tips for tours. Taking the tour with someone who is passionate about what they do is much better. Regarding the company, we think it's a good stop. It was our second trip with them. Luan TB speaks English.

Undifferentiated tour - On 24/09 I took a trip with the schooner Neptune Vintage to clear waters. We were very well taken care of during the purchase and we loved the service. The schooner is wonderful, clean, comfortable, nice ambient music and very good food. The crew was partly very friendly and polite and partly not so much. Because it is a different schooner, I thought the ride would also be different. The first stop was wonderful, a quiet and very beautiful beach, my children really enjoyed it. The second stop was true CHAOS, the beach was small and there were SO MANY people that I couldn't find a place to spread my canga, plus we couldn't play on the seashore because boats kept arriving from all sides, on top of the people, frustrating experience. The third stop was on an island, which was also crowded, lucky for us there was a Corner of stones and we managed to take the children there to play. The fourth stop was also frustrating, an island with a house and many stopped boats made me not even want to get off.
