Fun guide, big group, fast moving - Mammy Criss is the good kind of crazy! She's fun and entertaining, jumps between three languages and carries a bit group of people like an expert (she's been doing this for 10 years). Keep in mind the tour moves a big group of people and you move fast between places.

A day in Petropolis - Visit to many very nice sights. Recommendations: improve the restaurant and the bus a little uncomfortable. The rest is very good and recommended with Mami Cris as guide for the ride and she is very entertaining.
