    Satisfied. The driver contacted you the day before to inform you of the departure time from your hotel. We arrived on time. The trip lasted 4 hours, with a break in the middle.

    It was great. Simone is a very polite and friendly person. I learned a bit about the history of São Luís and I already have an idea of how to make the most of my next visit.

    A comprehensive yet not exhausting tour of São Luis. Our Italian-speaking guide gave us lots of information about the city and, at our request, took us out for a delicious açaí!
