    Starting with the service of Flávia via WhatsApp that was great and everything very well explained and she always very happy to respond. The guides are great and the tour is worth it. The site is very easy to move, which has too facilitated our access to choose the places to tour! I highly recommend the company.

    We took a private tour with the guide. We learned about the history of the Gold Way in Paraty and in the end the guide took us to get to know the Alambique Engenho do Ouro. The way is easy but it's good to have a safe shoe and use a wooden rod to help in some points.
