Fascinating - The guide was knowledgeable and spoke clearly so I could follow the drift. The churches are magnificent, and the gold mine is interesting with a fantastic guide who translated everything to English just for me. The only unnecessary stop was at a tourist gift shop, especially as the route was tortuous.

We like it! - We arrived in Ouro Preto at the time of the tour, we had two days in town. It was very good! I thought it would be just a guided tour of the points, always inside the gardener. But several points are visited, with stops and guided entrances, including an old mine.

Socio-historic-cultural gardener “with emotion”! - Jardineira is very fun, especially in the climbs, descents, curves and narrow double-handed streets!!!! With excitement! The guide Letitia is wonderfully cultured! I learned a lot! The visit to the mine is unavoidable!!!! Worth entering!!!! Gaúcho, the guide of the mine, knows a lot! For those who like it, stay attentive to listen to everything and hear answers to any questions. The mine is safe. Courage and go! There's light, air, and a lot of learning. All involved in the tour show respect for black slaves, highlighting the huge technical knowledge, engineering, mining, geology and agriculture that they brought to Minas Gerais and Brazil!!!! The history of slavery and abolition in Brazil is depressing. With today's tour I learned that they selected and kidnapped the highest knowledge of Africa's Gold Coast. How awesome! Take a walk! Class of history, geography, mining and human rights.

Positive walk, but with questionable situations - The tour was excellent. The guide demonstrated great knowledge and education, and we were very pleased with the experience. It is important to note that tickets to the churches and to the mine are not included in the tour price. These costs should be considered separately, especially the mine, which was R$ 70 per person.
The reason we didn't give five stars is related to the time of lunch. We were informed only of the meal option at will for R$ 60 per person, without mentioning that there was also the alternative payment per kilogram. In the restaurant, this option was not disclosed — even the scale was covered with a cloth, apparently so that the customers did not see it.
Luckily, when I finished serving me, I heard another customer asking for his food to be heavy. I did the same and instead of paying R$ 60, I paid only R$ 28. My daughter, without knowing the option, paid R$60 despite eating less. When she realized the situation, she complained and requested a fee to compensate for the amount charged.
This type of practice, clearly intended to take advantage of tourists, is unacceptable, unnecessary and compromises an experience that, until then, had been very positive.

Great tour, but fails in organization, regular concept. o. - Excellent guide Vavá, but we stayed an hour and a half waiting, where it was to stay 15 minutes, because the gardener went to take another group to another place. Unacceptable failure of organization. In the end, the guide was unable to show everything about an important church, with time running out, due to the previously mentioned delay.

Could be better - First we go through a deactivated mine. The ride in this mine costs 70 reais per person. I found it a little expensive, but it's optional. Then we went to a craft shop. Unfortunately, we lost more than an hour in this store. Apparently, everyone had already made their shopping, but we had to wait for the bus to come back to pick us up. The next stop, at the church of St. Ephigenia, did not last for half an hour. I ended up giving up the tour in the Basilica of Our Lady of the Pillar, because all the heat and time lost at the other stops tired me.
