The excursion was very good, the only thing that they have to improve is the pick-up, we were 10 minutes earlier than scheduled but they passed 45 minutes later than the schedule, but we did not finish there they continued looking for passengers, we arrived at Buzios 13h, in my opinion it is late because we did the activity running, we went to lunch at 4:00 p.m., it's a pity, everything can be done more calmly and enjoy more, thanks

Buzios was a lovely place, plenty to see and do. However we felt that two and a half hours on the boat (when you can’t get off) was excessive and meant we didn’t have lunch til 3pm! Unfortunately we were told after booking that we couldn’t be picked up at our hotel and had to travel for 40 minutes to an alternative, only to find half an hour after being picked up we drove past our hotel! On the way to Buzios there is a stop at a shopping centre. We were told we had 15 minutes but left 45 minutes later meaning reduced time at Buzios. We left at 5pm but due to increased traffic post carnival (which we weren’t told about) we didn’t get back until almost 10pm, meaning we spent a total of 9 hours on the bus!
