Will not use “Viator” again - Alex, our guide was very nice and made us comfortable, however the booking process was below standard. We were NOT notified by Viator that our tour was cancelled the day earlier. No contact was made and we waited at the meeting stop .

Not as described - This tour was nothing like the description. Of the 8 stops listed for this "1 h 45 m" tour, there was no mention of the 1st two, Rua das Pedras was pointed out to us but not visited. We walked along the boardwalk and stopped at the 3 statues, but didn't get anywhere near the church! There was virtually no "history, legends or tips".
After less than an hour, we were then rushed along, to get onto a large very full boat, for a 2 1/2 hr sail with 3 swimming stops. Whilst this was enjoyable, it was not what we had signed up for (we were expecting to learn about the town). So, as an excursion, it wasn't bad and would suit some people. But it was not what we had been led to believe we would get or what we were really wanting!
