Customer Reviews
unser Guide Edmar hat uns einen wunderschönen Tag geschenkt.sehr gute Informationen gegeben.wi rkonnten uns sehr gut verständigen . Er ist außerordentlich sympathisch. Vielen Dank
This tour needed be 5 hours not 7, we were finish with everything at 01 pm… First, guide was like that is his first day on work, they didnt know how to take a pics,but ok. When we arrived, we came to the place for wine and cheese tasting but the guide told me that I had to pay, I said that I had it included, only to realize after a long argument that it was not that place but another one where we would have a free tasting. Okay, when we got to the second place, the employees in the restaurant had no idea about anything. And while they called the boss I was finally able to drink the wine. Waste of time, as if it was his first day on the job, horrible experience.
No duró 7 horas como pone en la descripción de la actividad sino 3. Me parece una auténtica estafa. Sólo te llevan a Chã das Caldeiras y te dejan pasear por allí media hora.
