What people love about Brazil Tours from Rio de Janeiro
- Brazil Carnival Essential Experience 6D/5N (Rio de Janeiro)
Brilliant tour. A mixture of adventure and partying!
- Rio de Janeiro, Iguassu Falls and Amazon Rainforest Experience
I have nothing bad to say about the recent trip I do have 1 recommendation for Nattrip. I would try to find an alternative hotel in Manaus for those travelers going to the Amazon. The Intercity Hotel was somewhat remote from the nicer restaurants and theatre area and the food was terrible
- Best of Brazil
Well planned and overall very smooth. Enjoyed company of the other tour members and tour guide. One recommendation would be for tour guides to do a little more introduction (~30 min) of each city when we first reach one.
