My trip to Petropolis was awesome. I was pickup up at my hotel. The tour guide spoke perfect English. He was very knowledgeable. From Rio to Petropolis, he answered so many questions about Brazil. The city tour was great. No wait at the palace. He offered historic facts about everything. Several other destinations during the Petropolis tour. Very efficient. Back to the hotel in great time. Great day. Highly recommend.
