Fue el mejor día de nuestro viaje a Belo Horizonte. Muy bien el detalle de una valija y un equipaje de mano por pasajero. Para lo que incluye, el precio es más que razonable. Muy recomendable para cualquier edad.

Does what it says on the tin. Aleijadinho alone makes the trip worthwhile. A really practical way to get your bearings on day one. The Round trip transportation to most downtown Belo Horizonte hotels is a smart touch. The audio cut out on a couple of stretches. There is room to improve, but no regrets.

Una experiencia hermosa
Excelente experiencia de principio a fin. El paisaje en Belo Horizonte no entra en una foto. Vale madrugar, el paisaje a esa hora es otra cosa. El guía de turismo en portugués llegó justo cuando lo necesitábamos.

Could not have gone better. It costs more than going alone, but it saves you all the planning. I would recommend this to anyone visiting Belo Horizonte.

Justo lo que buscábamos. Aleijadinho fue una sorpresa, no estaba en nuestros planes.

Mucho mejor de lo que imaginaba. Si lo comparás con hacerlo por tu cuenta, conviene. El personal de tierra fue amable desde el primer contacto. Lo de transporte de ida y vuelta a la mayoría de los hoteles del centro de Belo Horizonte resolvió todo. Sin dudas una de las mejores experiencias del viaje.
