Tranquil and not crowded! A pleasant walk, small botanical garden compared to most. A quick walk outside gives a good feel of the neighbourhood!
Dear Customer. Thanks a lot for the review. We are glad that you liked the tour. Please count on us on future trips. Thanks.
Curitiba is the most beautiful city in the State of Paraná. Near Camboriú and Bombinhas it has a sister botanical garden, a well-kept and complete center. The hotel is quality and the people are very nice. A beautiful city and highly recommended
I had already been informed by other friends that Curitiba is getting worse every day. It's just worse than I imagined. Damaged sidewalks, trash everywhere, and the worst is yet to be reported. It seems like we were in the center of São Paulo. A huge number of closed and/or abandoned buildings, completely covered in graffiti and dominated by addicts and homeless beggars. On the XV promenade, it is impossible to stay for a few minutes without being approached by this unpleasant group. They are people who intimidate and generate a certain fear of what might happen if we deny them money or anything else. They even asked me for my bottle of mineral water!!!!! The city is filthy with dirt and graffiti. Vacancies reserved for the elderly and disabled are always occupied irregularly. And no one does anything to prevent such irregularities. Curitiba, model city? Only if it's filthy and cracked!!!! I will never go back there again and I don't recommend the center of this city to anyone!!!!
Miss communication with the agency, first call they will pick me up, after an email they are not. Later I called back. They will puck me up at different time was the tour. Later they called the hotel and left messages can't be , and they change the tour I brought with four stops,and also in portugués when i requested English. I got the later tour with three stops. Only the driver and the guide was nice
A city that invites you to walk. Wonderful parks. I've gone cold and hot. It is always very beautiful and well preserved. Perfect celery. There is no way to go to Curitiba and not to take a walk through the Botanical Garden, Parque do Papa, Parque Taguá, Paseo Público,.....
I paid for an 8am tour, but I suddenly got a message saying I would be picked up at 9… but I didn’t get picked up until 9:30, no explanation given. Even though I paid for a tour in spanish, this tour was definetively NOT in spanish. Ocasionally the tour guide would look at me and tell me, in spanish, about 5% of the info he shared in portuguese to the rest of the crowd. Thank God I understand a bit of portuguese.
Dear client good afternoon I am sorry as this is not our standart procedure Guide should have shared all information in both languages. He will be advised and we will improve in order to avoid it for happening again . thank you Kind regards
The tour was amazing and the guide was very professional, courteous, and vey nice. She would explain in both Portugués and English. All the stops were beautiful. My wife and I enjoyed it and loved Curitiba.
