    Overall, it was a great experience—I truly enjoyed it. While the accommodations and restaurant options could use some improvement, the tour guides were exceptional. As a solo traveler, I felt very well taken care of throughout the trip. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.

    This tour was a taste of the west coast of Brazil and certainly lived up to expectations. The tour leader, Luma was very passionate, energetic and informative about the country, making her a great advert for not just Intrepid Travel, but also Brazil. The small historical city of Paraty was a very historical and cultural place to visit and the island of Ilha Grande was very picturesque. The only trouble was as Ilha Grande was a tourist destination you do get hit with heavily inflated prices and sometimes sub-standard food (this was not the case in Paraty though). The final stop was Rio De Janierio, where the hotel was great (better than the other two) and lived up to all expectation of being one of the most iconic cities in the world (especially as the world record setting Lady Gaga concert coincided with the end of the tour). Now I am just waiting for an Intrepid tour that includes the Pantana and Florianópolis

    A great tour overall. I would recommend including a volcano hike around Antigua as part of this tour. At least offer it as an optional activity. As well, include an official city tour from a local guide. Antigua is such a beautiful city, it merits a few hours with an expert to tell you about it's history. I would also suggest extending the tour by a day and staying one extra night in San Ignacio, so that people have time to do more optional tours. As is, we only had time to visit the ATM cave. Intrepid offers a few optional activities, but there's no time for them. The tour guide, Reyes de Leon was wonderful, a very knowledgeable and friendly man! Hotels were good too, centrally located.
