Great. It's worth it. - It was a great walk. Camila, the tour guide has a contagious energy and is a lover of the island. The driver drives very well and safely. I recommend the tour for everyone who has little time on the island.

Beautiful excursion worth it! - Great day by bus to discover the island of Florianopolis.
The stops are interesting and there are enough to not have to go to the bathroom yet.
The chosen stops give a good idea of the city and its surroundings!
We liked it very much and recommend this tour.

Wonderful bus tour with guide Neiva, friendly and polyglot. - Double-floor bus, with wide view of the city and beaches, slender route, but passes the main nearby beaches, stopping at most of them, which are wonderful. It was very worth the trip, it was an excellent investment.

Fantastic! - This tour was outstanding. We saw almost the entire island, which is surprisingly huge. Our driver was skilled and careful. And our guide spoke perfect English. She made a point of engaging with every single person on the bus and ensuring they felt welcome and appreciated. So professional and kind. She clearly loved her job. The tour is long, yes, but you cover a surprising amount of ground, and the guide was great at keeping everyone engaged and on time. We stopped at an excellent buffet restaurant for lunch that would please any budget. (You must pay for your lunch, so this was a really great gesture.) we are so glad we did this tour. We saw parts of Gloria we never would have found on our own on a first visit. What a beautiful city it is. They played fantastic music, but not blaringly. And the upper deck was covered, a godsend on a hot sunny day. I highly, highly recommend this tour! You will not be sorry!

Cute visit to Florianopolis and its beaches - We met many beautiful sites and beaches in Florianopolis, which we would hardly have known on our own. The bus very comfortable, having no windows was very fresh and with good vision. We had time to bathe fast on a couple of beaches. The guide informed us of interesting topics in Spanish, Portuguese and English. The only thing we didn't like was that the time for lunch in Canas Vieiras, where we didn't know the beach, was short, 1 hour and 15 and the restaurant was crowded, with free buffet. It would be better to have lunch in another quieter place, such as Barra de Lagoa or Jurere
