Fantastic trip to Campos do Jordao
rpascal5, Apr 2024
We loved learning more about Campos do Jordao and admiring the architecture in the city. Campos also has excellent food options and we loved the trip to the chocolate factory. Our guide, Mauricio, was very engaging and knowledgeable.
Long drive but enjoyed the tour
Kevin_R, Apr 2024
This tour is worth it but I must say, it’s a long drive. It was fun and we enjoyed the beautiful day there. Our guide and driver were top notch and did a great job. The only reason I am giving it 4 stars is the fact that communication was lacking and we did not hear from anyone until late the evening before. We also requested a pick up from where we are staying but we were instructed to go to a different location.
The tour guide was great....

The tour guide was great. He took special effort to explain all the sights in English. The group was small hence the experience was very positive. The history of the Governor’s museum was good.

The tour was nice. The city is beautiful and we were given enough time to enjoy the place and take photos. The only complaint is the transportation. We are a group of 7. They sent a mini van with two tiny seats in the third row with only confined leg room. I am only 5 feet 8. I have to bend my knees sitting for the entire 6 hours on the road. The seat in front of me was so close to the floor and space between second and third rows are so confined. I had no room to stretch my legs. My knees were up against the back in front so I can only maintain one position at all time. I hope they will fix the issue - to send a bigger van, or rotate sitting plan at each each rest stop.

Hi Traveller! Thank you for choosing our tour and even more for your feedback. We are glad that you liked it... We are working hard to make improvements to our cars and team. In 2023/May we will have new cars operating the tours, more comfortable and with full space inside for all travelers. At this moment, after the pandemic period, we feel more confident to resume investments in improving the company. On your next trip to São Paulo, we're sure you'll see the difference. We hope to see you again on your next trip to São Paulo! Best Regards, VIDA & ENERGIA TEAM
Fantastic day trip to see something different in Brazil
Tabyta_D, Oct 2018
We enjoyed visiting Campos do Jordao. It takes approx 3hrs to get to from Sao Paulo but once you get there it feels like you have left Brazil due to the different architecture. On this tour you stop at a number of different points including a tour of the Governor's holiday house (tour is only in Portuguese though). The tour allows ample time for lunch, shopping and other activities if you wish. The trout for lunch is a must and a sample of the numerous chocolate stores on offer is another must.
El guia es increíble!...
LeslieIvette_N, Mar 2024
El guia es increíble! La pu tua lidado y atitude lo fueron todo. Cumplió y superò las expectativas por mucho
No es la gran experiencia
Priscilla_S, Feb 2023
La experiencia estuvo ok, nada extraordinario, es una ciudad para ver la arquitectura pero sin muchas actividades para hacer. Creo que por el precio esperaba algo más. Lo único que no sentí bien fue el transporte, íbamos en un carro-buseta en la parte de atrás bastante incómodos sin el espacio suficiente para las piernas y es un viaje bastante largo.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
¡Hola viajero! Gracias por elegir nuestro tour y más aún por sus comentarios. Gustar o no gustar de un recorrido o lugar es parte del viaje llamado experiencia, solo la experiencia puede darte la respuesta a tus preguntas y expectativas sobre un lugar, una persona o una cultura. Celebremos las buenas y no tan buenas experiencias, eso se llama vivir!!! ¡Viva intensamente! En cuanto al tema del asiento en el vehículo, podría haber hablado con el guía y sugerirle que lo acomodaran en otro asiento, un tema sencillo que con comunicación directa estamos seguros se resolvería de inmediato. Esperamos volver a verte en otra ocasión en nuestros tours. Saludos EQUIPO DE VIDA Y ENERGÍA
