On arrival

See you in Praça 8 de Maio near the fountain. The guide will be holding a colored folder instead of an umbrella, so it will be easier to recognize it since you see many umbrellas around but there are very few people waiting with folders in hand.

Things to note

Use comfortable shoes. Bring water. Use sun protection (umbrella, hat, sunscreen). In summer the temperature is high and the city is in the hills.
Arriving unprepared can lead to unpleasant surprises.

Free Cancellation

Free Cancellation up to 24 hours before the activity starts. Late cancellation or your non-arrival is not refundable.
