A different and very enjoyable tour - The entire route is very beautiful and the 4-hour tour goes by super quickly. The snack served in the Cabin is basic, so have breakfast before the tour, but water, beer and soft drinks are optional. I went in the carriage with just my son and we loved the experience.

Great deal! - I was reluctant to book through a third party with Viator, but it worked out very well. The price included transfers, a guide, train ticket, snack, lunch and more. Great deal and fun experience!

Amazing experience. - Incredible experience, everyone should do it at least once in their life. The whole tour is incredible, we went in the botoque car that has snacks, and drinks are available. The caveat is only when you hire the complete tour including the van that will pick you up and take them back to the hotel, if you have children under 5 years old, these children don't pay and they don't have the right to a seat on the train or in the van, they have to ride on their parents' legs.

Bad weather and departure delays - The departure was delayed by nearly an hour and a half. Furthermore, the train stopped many times on the way, and we ended up arriving in Morreches more than three hours late. This significantly reduced our sightseeing time. It may have just been bad luck, but the weather was bad and we couldn't fully enjoy the scenery.

Average ride - Extremely tiring ride. The train has a very low speed and takes too long on the journey. The beautiful part is when it goes through the Serra do Mar. At the beginning and end of the journey there are no interesting attractions and even so the train goes too slowly on this route. I went in the “luxury” car, a bad snack with a crushed sandwich on a plate with film on top, the coffee ran out quickly and there was no replacement. In Morretes, the restaurant they put us in was average. I expected more from this tour.

For the love of God, don't go!!! - A train with terrible comfort, a four and a half hour journey, simply watching grass pass by the window, with the exception of another lost station, and is poorly maintained. Arriving in Morretes, a place with terrible food, there is no restaurant with air conditioning, the crematorium is full of people and poor quality food and the barreado thing is a big lie
