The Paraty Tour was very helpful because we arrived earlier on the tour, leaving us calm. During the Tour everything went super well and our learning was magnificent. It would take much longer to learn the history of Paraty and its secrets.

Reviews
The guides Bernardino, city tour and Ramón, tour to Cunha with Lavandario, were excellent. They have demonstrated a lot of knowledge and professionalism. The driver Sandro who took us to Cunha, was also very attentive with us. The sales team at the store, especially Laura, was very helpful, answering our questions and guiding us in everything. Congratulations to everyone.
I don't remember the exact name of the three tours I did, but I can say they were amazing, wonderful and respectful staff, as well as the guesthouse that the agency indicated. I'll come back and hire the services again. I loved, created amazing and memorable memories, thanks team.
The historical tour was amazing, the very good guide, with a high level of knowledge about history, gave us clarity about the details that make this city attractive for us tourists. Worth every moment. Thank you!
Great duration of the walk, Optimum Cost X Benefit for the amount paid We were well served in the agency and also by the guide during the route. We did it at 17:30, when it was already dark. Which left the walk less tiring than the morning hours (which is all done "in the sun")
The tour was a unique experience. The guide showed great knowledge about the local history, which made the tour very interesting. The only point that left nothing to be desired was the end of the tour. The guide left us at the cachaçaria, without returning with the group to the meeting point. As a tourist, without much sense of location, I took a while to find the way back to the hostel. But it was still worth the experience.
The Paraty Tour made a pleasant tour possible for my family and friends, surrounded by care, culture and contact with nature and waterfalls. The visit also included the visit, appreciation of cachaças, and a pleasant presentation on the history of an alambic.
It was wonderful, very beautiful place, we met perfect waterfalls too, staff who was showing us the super attentive and helpful places.
The guide accompanied us telling the entire history of the historic center and showing curiosities, something a person who did not know, goes unnoticed in the place. It was very well-humored and gave to know several curiosities of the city. It is indispensable for whoever is paraty
I did the City tour of Paraty Tour, plus 2 other tours (Jeep and Escuna). In all I was very well served, guides are attentive. The City Tour guide, the excellent Bernardo, gives a very interesting and relaxed lesson about the history of Paraty, very worth it and allows you to connect better with the place. At the end we do the cachaça tasting, a wonder!
We took the guided tour with Rafa. Great! We highly recommend it. In addition to being a sweetheart, he told us about the story and its different versions and presented technical and everyday details. Grade 10!
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.
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!
Wonderful tour, the guide was very attentive and provided us with a lot of interesting information about the historic center of Paraty. Very polite and prepared. A fantastic experience.
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.
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.
Our guide was Bernardino, he was excellent. Guide full of useful information about local and national history. Our 1h30 guide passed super quickly, I recommend it!
Super cool tour, really worth it! We did it the same day we arrived and it was great to get a view of the city and learn about its history. I highly recommend it! :)
The tour lasts approximately 1h30 and is well worth it! Lots of curiosities and tips that the guide provided us. Paraty is charming
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.
We learned significantly about the history of the city of Paraty as soon as we arrived in the city, which made it easier for us to understand some of the other tours that followed,
I took the guided walk on the first day of the trip and it was amazing to learn a little about the history of this charming city! The guide Fernanda was the one who accompanied the group and her passion for the city is contagious! I highly recommend it!
Very good!!! Very attentive guide Educated I loved! I recommend this tour to anyone who is going to visit Paraty A magical place full of stories
Great guide, the perfect Neto, did a walk very rich in details and explanations, it was really worth it, we hired this guide, it was great
We did the guided city tour, and we already had a good impression because we were a few minutes late looking for a place to park and the attendant "rushed" to call the guide and include us in the group that had just left for the tour. We also had the luck to make the walk with Bernardino, an exiled paulist in Paraty who enriches the tour too much, with a level of details and curiosities that I rarely saw on a guided tour. is practically a teacher with a privileged memory, who guides you and carries you through the stories of the city, going through the visit of Dom Pedro to the existence of masonry at the roots of the city.
Foi td muito bom, pois o guia conhecia muito bem todo centro histórico. Farei novos roteiros qdo eu voltar.
Taking this tour is essential to know every detail and the many stories that surround the historic center of Paraty. After the tour Paraty will not be the same!
Me and my mother loved the historic walk, conducted by the guide Bernardino, who was very attentive with us. Paraty is a city that breathes history and the explanations given by the guide were quite profitable. We highly recommend!
Guide well prepared with relevant information. Pretty nice walk with a small group of people, quite attentive.
We did the city tour and we loved the experience! Walk that's worth it! You know the history of Paraty and see it with other eyes. The guide who accompanied us was great, attentive and friendly!!
Very interesting and excellent information provided by guide Rafael. I highly recommend the tour of the Historic Center.
I made 3 tours with Paraty Tours: Clear Waters, City Tour by Historic Center and Jeep! They were all wonderful! The team of guides very prepared and solicitor! The location is also great, just before the Historic Center. I highly recommend the agency!
Beaches not as beautiful as the rest of the state of Rio de Janeiro, but it is possible to enjoy the sea and the sand strip. Local stores with not very cheap items. Taxi drivers, bus drivers and vans are not even a little cordial and polite, they get brave if you ask for any information. For a place that welcomes so many tourists it shouldn’t be like that. The most beautiful beaches are far from the historic center.
I bought two tours in Enterprise directly from the site. Trusting what is included and described. The escuna walk was great, fantastic. We left very satisfied. I even made the rating directly on the ride. And I bought the City tour by Paraty, on foot. It is not bad at all, the guides well-humored and attentive, explained the history of the city, talked about architecture, some details and even origins of expressions. What left me sad and unsatisfied was because the duration was described from 1h 30 me to 2 hrs. And our tour lasted 1 hr. Describes that we'll visit museums, art studio, crawlers. We just passed in front of the seats, we didn't go to any studio, we passed in front of a cache shop. Could at least specify or warn at the beginning of the tour that we would not actually visit the places. That certain places depending on the time will be closed. So if you want to choose another time or other type of tour. Or another Enterprise. At the end of the tour, our group had the impression that it was not complete and that they did not explain what it really would be like.
Excellent discovery of the historic center on foot with French guide, good advice to taste cachaca and local restaurant
I recommend the tour. You cannot visit the city without knowing a bit of the history in which Paraty is the protagonist. It's very interesting. The guide Bernardinho knows a lot and provided a lot of information.
It was raining, but still the guide was super attentive and did not shorten the walk. Indicate!
The City Tour was very good despite the rain. The guide is note 10! Excellent tour itinerary! It was worth it!
The PRISCILA guide made the difference on the tour. Dedicated and attentive, she directed the group we were part of, me and my husband, throughout the historic part of Paraty. We had a fine rain that now accompanied us, but it did not prevent Priscilla from guiding us peacefully, without prejudice to the City Tour. Congratulations to Paraty Tours and especially to the guide Priscilla.
Paraty Tours is always in our planning in Paraty. They are committed to providing fabulous experiences with a lot of responsibility! The equipment and vehicles are always new, in perfect condition and the guides are certified and prepared.
Excellent tour of the city of Paraty. The guide has an excellent knowledge of the history of the city. Definitely worth it, I will walk around the city with a new look. The value charged is very inexpensive because of historical and cultural information.
We took a walk along a stretch of the Golden Way, which ends with a visit to waterfalls and an alambic. It was easy to mark through the site, the service in the store was attentive, and we liked our guide Christiano, who is well engaged with the community of Paraty and with the preservation of the road and nature of the city. It was more than we expected, in the end.
Wonderful! The history of the city is beautiful, the Priscilla guide is great, everything very organized! I also did the jeep ride with the guide Luis, very good too. Everyone at the agency are very friendly!
We loved the City Tour with the guide Cristiano on 04/10/2020. I never thought I could learn so much, in such an interesting and pleasant way about the history of a place! Cristiano also managed to tell historical facts in an interesting and engaging way! Congratulations!
We made the walk tour from 17:00 with the guide Priscilla. Exceptional professional, attentive, empowered who enchanted us with his historical knowledge. The Paraty Tours is quite large the service is excellent! My tip is: don't take tours with non-professional guides!!!! Look for accredited CADASTUR guides always with a tourist agency. We've seen the staff of the charrets give information nothing to see, they distort the story and pass incomplete information.
