Through Whatsapp, I was informed that the 1:30 shuttle wasn’t available the day I chose. I was a little desperate because I needed to get from Paraty to São Paulo on this day. The person from Paraty tours worked with me to find a private car (instead of a van). I was expecting a very long, uncomfortable day. I was so pleasantly surprised by how painless and comfortable it was. Our driver was very professional and sweet. Bonus: the scenery on the first portion of the trip was spectacular.

Our guide, Mauricio was so kind and really knew his history. We loved every minute, we were able to see so many beautiful spots of Santos, São Vicente, and Guarujá . As 2 females, we felt safe and so very comfortable . Being only 7 total of us, it was very relaxed and we got to know the others very well . It was a fantastic day!!!!

I really enjoyed the beautiful view plus the interesting history about it which is located in their very own Atlantic Forest. Also I enjoyed the sharing of the knowledgeable and very friendly and kind tour guide Sir Denis who showed me the beauty of one of their tourist attractions.

Amazing trip to the coast with beach time and epic views! Great host and met some very nice people along for the ride. Highly recommended!

very well spent time, interesting places, great atmosphere, no busy schedule, very good contact in English ... I recommend it 105%
