“O UNICO E O MELHOR passeio feito pela Viator Turismo. Carol Moreno a responsavel e seu esposo pelo passeio extremanente profissional, manteveram contatos constantes com os participantes de forma cortês e profissional. Os bares visitados fantasticos. Os pratos servidos para degustacao foram de primeira qualidade. O receptivo nos butecos visitados foram profisdionaus e acolhedores. Em especial o buteco dos Açougueiros em que a proprietaria Daise veio pessoalmente atender o grupo, uma verdadeira Gentlewomens, extremamente profissional.

Curitiba after dark with a guided drive to Oscar Niemeyer and Botanical Garden, then an Italian dinner in Santa Felicidade.
“Gostaria de começar pela guia, para deixar bem claro, que ela é maravilhosa. No demais me decepcionei, aqui no hora da venda vocês informam 19h. O que não é verdade. As 18h a guia já está no hotel para lhe pegar. Pelo horário, os pontos não estão iluminados, o que é a proposta. Sei que é panorâmico, mas não pude registrar nada iluminado. Me frustrei.”

“o guia Davi fez toda a diferença, tornando o passeio extremamente agradável e cheio de aprendizado com relação a cidade de Curitiba.”
Half-day Curitiba tour with hotel pickup for a small group, visiting Jardim Botânico, Parque Tanguá, Ópera de Arame, and key landmarks.
“In a very short time, this tour will give you a great overview of the city,-- both physically and culturally. While there isn't a lot of time to dawdle at the museum or the botanical garden, the tour is a great orientation, and will help you choose how to spend any additional time in the city. I will note that when we booked through Viator, we requested a English-speaking guide, but apparently that message was not delivered to the operator. When the Portuguese-only guide arrived at our hotel, she quickly contacted the operating company, and a replacement guide was dispatched in less than 20 minutes. The glitch was handled quickly…”
Pick a coast, a city or a river, and start there.
