Is accommodation included in the 4-day tour?

The tour description does not specify accommodation. Clarify with the operator whether overnight stays are included or if you arrange lodging separately in towns along the route (Ubatuba, Paraty, Angra dos Reis).

What is included in the price (EUR 3359 from)?

The listing shows a starting price but does not itemize inclusions. Confirm what's covered—typically private guide, vehicle, and stops—versus what's extra (meals, accommodation, entrance fees, activities).

How many people can join this private tour?

It's listed as a private guided tour, but group size and vehicle type (minivan vs. sedan) are not specified. Contact the operator to confirm capacity and vehicle comfort for your party.

Are meals and activities (like hiking or swimming) included?

The supplier description mentions waterfalls, trails, and beaches but does not confirm whether guided activities or meals are bundled. Ask whether stops include guided walks or if they're self-guided, and whether lunch/dinner are provided.

What's the physical difficulty level?

While the tour includes trails and beach walks, no fitness rating is given. Plan for moderate activity—comfortable walking shoes and basic fitness are advisable, but specific terrain difficulty depends on which stops your guide includes.

Can I customize the route or stops?

The tour outlines a set 600 km coastal corridor (São Paulo to Rio), but as a private tour, flexibility for extra stops or alternative detours should be negotiable. Discuss preferences with your guide before departure.

our guide Yusuf had so many stories and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight. Booked it for my birthday so it wasnt too busy. Perfect for first-timers, and ran the full 4 hours promised, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.

our guide Aiko was brilliant and the bit at the end nobody expects was the highlight. Mid-week so it was quiet so it wasnt too busy. Mid-week so it was quiet, and spot on for a couples day out, and 6 stops in about 3 hours. Would book again no question.

our guide Giulia had so many stories and a little local spot off the usual route was the highlight. Over easter break so it wasnt too busy. Blew our phuket one out of the water, and worked great for a solo traveller like me, and ran the full 4 hours promised. Would book again no question.
