It was one of the best guided tours I've ever taken in my life. I think it's super worth it. The Maranhão sheets are a beautiful place that is worth visiting. Guide Nailson was spectacular, very attentive and took beautiful photos. I highly recommend it!

Alright. Indeed the first message mentions a meeting point at Subway but it is then up to us to specify the pick-up location. Good communication with the driver before departure. Everything was ok!

This is a great experience, the guides were very nice and kind. The food was really good. They really take into consideration everything needed to make you have a great time, totally recommended!

Excellent service, they were on time. The driver was very courteous and careful. Would take this service again.

The experience is very good, even in low season, you can have a good experience of the immensity of the sheets
