Good place to walk - The water was cold, but worth it. It is very enjoyable and includes food. The only thing is to confirm where you are going to pick them up because at the last minute they change the pick-up location and where they are dropped off. Because they return late and will have to take a taxi.

Búzios - Too long of a drive three hours each way and the guide did not speak English. The actual boat trip was pleasant they were able to entertain us.

Does not deliver what it sells - The product delivered does not correspond to what was sold. 1) estimating 2 hours for a 180km journey doesn't make sense. We spent 4 hours in the van; 2) extremely uncomfortable van for a long journey like this. 3) there is no stop at a suitable place for bathing as described. I don't know how to swim and spent the day in the van or boat; 4) lunch at 4:00 pm doesn’t make any sense; 5) obviously, we eat cold and very ordinary food. It doesn't seem to be "one of the best restaurants in town" 6) selling one product and delivering another still puts the guide (very attentive and guiltless) in an embarrassing situation;

Too many people on the boat... - <p>Too many people on the boat, couldn't even find a seat, had to stand most oft he cruise. Lunch at 3pm is too late in an average kilo restaurant. Don't know what all the fuss is about for Buzios. Would recommend the other day trip to Angra dos Reis as a better alternative</p>

Look for options - We were the first being picked up and it took cle to 2 hours to finish picking up the rest of the passengers. Buzios is nice and our tour guide was a very nice gentleman. On the way back the driver had to get gas with everyone on board when he had all afternoon to do it. Food was not good.

I was so disappointed with this... - <p>I was so disappointed with this tour, I almost felt like crying, the tour leader spoke in Spanish, French and Portuguese only. He said he would translate English to me but he only said like two words and answered one question. He was so oblivious to the impact this would have on my day trip. I didn't know what was being said or going on. I had to second guess. This trip is made for locals so if you speak Portuguese then great otherwise not so great. I didn't even get to see Bridget Bardot statue, I didn't get an option for the city tour and the boat charged me for food and drinks even though the programme said it was free.</p> <p>The only good thing about the this trip is that the restaurant was fantastic, the food was amazing and they were clear the drinks would cost. Buzios is a beautiful town with lovely shops and friendly locals but you need two days not one day in order to see everything. </p> <p>If you like rowdy parties and a loud DJ then book this party boat tour. if you speak Portuguese, and Spanish this is ideal for you. Luckily I have a GCSE Spanish grade from ten years ago so I was able to second guess meeting points etc but it wasn't enough to get me through the day and completely ruined my day trip to the lack of English translation.</p>
