Linda experiencia para conocer la Bahía de Todos los Santos. Lo único que cambiaría sería que la duración en Isla Dos Frades fuera de menos tiempo y en Isla De Itaparica se pudiera disfrutar de más tiempo, porque con el almuerzo se pierde mucho tiempo y no se disfruta tanto. Translate this opinion into English.

A lovely experience to explore All Saints Bay. The only thing I would change would be to have a shorter time on Dos Frades Island and a longer time on Itaparica Island, because lunch wastes a lot of time and you don't enjoy it as much. Opinion translated. Show original.

La gente de operaciones, muy esmerados en organizar y cuidar al grupo. Lo malo es que Civitatis me ofreció retiro en mi ubicación y guia en español, ninguna de las dos cosas sucedió. Me hicieron caminar a las 06:00 con mi señora a un hotel, felizmente cercano, pero me indigna que el bus pasó previamente por donde yo les pedí me retirarán y se me negó. Translate this opinion into English.

The operations staff were very diligent in organizing and taking care of the group. The downside was that Civitatis offered me pickup at my location and a Spanish-speaking guide, but neither happened. They made me walk at 6:00 a.m. with my wife to a hotel, fortunately close by, but it infuriates me that the bus had already passed by the place where I asked to be picked up and was refused.

La actividad está muy coordinada. Considerar el viaje es extenso de horario (2 horas en cada isla). Debería estar claro que a parte de las tasas de las islas, se debe dejar propina a los músicos que van en el barco, además el buffet cuesta 75 reales más bebida. El buffet es muy bueno y organizado. Al hacer cuentas se debe considerar los 35 de tasas, más unos 20 de propina de músicos, más 85 de comida. Y 30 reales de consumición para sombrilla en I de frade. Y si quieres paseo Itaparica R30 +. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity is very well coordinated. Considering the trip's long schedule (2 hours on each island), it should be clear that in addition to the island taxes, you must tip the musicians on the boat, and the buffet costs 75 reais plus drinks. The buffet is very good and organized. When calculating, you should consider the 35 reais in taxes, plus a 20 reais tip for the musicians, plus 85 reais for food. And 30 reais for drinks and an umbrella at I de Frade. And if you want a ride on Itaparica, it's 30 reais plus. Opinion translated. Show original.

Entretenido aunque nos agregaron un tour histórico en itaparica por el cual fue inutil (muy chico y el guía no comenta mucho acto histórico), al final nos pidieron efectivo más de lo comentado en el tour (músicos, tour ciudad) Translate this opinion into English.

Entertaining, although they added a historical tour in Itaparica, which was useless (very short and the guide didn't mention much about the historical events). In the end, they asked us for more cash than what was mentioned in the tour (musicians, city tour). Opinion translated. Show original.

Ele la guía de la empresa que nos recogió en el hotel "genia" amable, dispuesta, muy atenta a nosotras y a todos los pasajeros! La empresa puntual y todo muy bien! La actividad no me pareció para nada atractiva, no la repetiría ni la recomendaría. Mucho tiempo de viaje para el poco tiempo de estar y que ofrece cada lugar. En la primera isla un poco de playa y en la segunda se te va el poco tiempo en el almuerzo, la playa tampoco era tan linda (si fuera por la fecha, podrían indicar este detalle)

The company's guide who picked us up at the hotel was "genius"—friendly, helpful, and very attentive to us and all the passengers! The company was punctual, and everything was great! I didn't find the activity at all appealing; I wouldn't repeat it or recommend it. It took a long time to travel for the limited time each place had to offer. On the first island, there was a bit of beach, and on the second, you'd spend the little time at lunch. The beach wasn't that nice either (if it weren't for the date, you could have mentioned this detail).

La actividad superó las expectativas. En especial por el carisma y buen rollo que nos transmitió el guía Luiz. El trayecto en barco contó con la animación del un grupo de samba, fue muy divertido. Las islas son preciosas, entorno natural y preservado. Merece la pena. Translate this opinion into English.

The activity exceeded expectations, especially because of the charisma and good vibes that the guide Luiz conveyed to us. The boat trip was accompanied by a samba group, which was very fun. The islands are beautiful, with a natural and preserved environment. It is worth it. Opinion translated. Show original.

Tudo ocorreu normalmente. Somente ficamos preocupados com o transporte entre a escuna e os botes ao chegar em Itaparica. Há muitos idosos e tem que ter uma certa habilidade no acesso entre um e outro. Mesmo com a ajuda das tripulações, o cuidado precisa ser redobrado.

Buena excursión, el paseo en barco es divertido, con música en vivo y tragos de gran variedad a buen precio. El guía estuvo siempre atento y nos guío en todo momento. Nos pasaron a buscar por el hotel a la hora pactada. Las playas que se visitan son muy lindas (en la isla de Frades la playa se encontraba recubierta por algas, lo que hacía dificil meterse al mar, posiblemente por las lluvias en la semana por lo que recomiento mirar el pronóstico). Translate this opinion into English.

A great excursion. The boat ride was fun, with live music and a wide variety of drinks at a good price. The guide was always attentive and guided us throughout. They picked us up from our hotel at the agreed-upon time. The beaches we visited were very beautiful (on Frades Island, the beach was covered in seaweed, making it difficult to get into the sea, possibly due to the rains that week, so I recommend checking the forecast).

You guys did not keep to your own words by offering a tour guide that speak English, but I still enjoyed my trip. The tour guide try her best to always explain things to me by send messages on whattsapp in English so that I can understand what she is saying to others in portugues, and I like that, she is nice

El paseo por las islas, fue buenísimo, partiendo por el traslado, había una banda animando el ambiente, había fruta gratis, también vendían tragos, cervezas y jugos. La isla Frades tiene una playa hermosa, hay restaurantes y posadas pocas pero las hay. Y la isla Itaparica es donde almorzamos, era un menú buffet a elección, nos quedó un momento para disfrutar de la playa.. Esta mas que recomendable sobre todo por que fueron muy atentos Translate this opinion into English.

The tour of the islands was great, starting with the transfer, there was a band livening up the atmosphere, there was free fruit, they also sold drinks, beers and juices. Frades Island has a beautiful beach, there are few restaurants and inns, but they do exist. And Itaparica Island is where we had lunch, it was a buffet menu of our choice, we had a moment to enjoy the beach. It is highly recommended, especially because they were very attentive.

Impecable todo!! Los guias, las explicaciones, todo muy sincronizado según lo acordado. Muy atentos a las necesidades del grupo. El paseo en si, el tour dificil de explicar con palabras. La belleza de la playa en la Isla de Frades es única. Un pequeño paraiso de nuestro mundo. El espeto corrido en Itaparica a la orilla del oceano, como está ambientado sobre la arena y las distintas opciones para comer, le dió un cierre increible. Gracias por todo!! Translate this opinion into English.

Everything is impeccable!! The guides, the explanations, everything very synchronized as agreed. Very attentive to the needs of the group. The ride itself, the tour, is difficult to explain in words. The beauty of the beach on Frades Island is unique. A small paradise of our world. The espeto run in Itaparica on the edge of the ocean, as it is set on the sand and the different eating options, gave it an incredible closure. Thanks for everything!! Opinion translated.

É um passeio bonito, porém a guia só para dar infos práticas do passeio e não esquecer ninguém. Não se fala sobre a ilha, sobre a história, sobre a região. Tem um outro guia no barco também que fala bem pouco. A banda de samba é animada, mas o audio do microfone é péssimo, quem tem sensibilidade auditiva irá odiar e a taxa cobrada é quase que coagida das pessoas. O almoço é péssimo. Pague 30 reais para aproveitar o beach club e peça a la carte. Ignore os "conselhos" dos guias.

La actividad en general está muy bien. Me molestó la poca comunicación con el proveedor antes de la misma, ya que no sabía si iba a cancelarse o no. Debido a lluvias moderadas, la actividad no se pudo disfrutar de igual forma. De hecho, os recomiendo mirar el tiempo porque creo que es una actividad que solo merece la pena con muy buen tiempo. A pesar de esto, el trato del equipo y la guía han sido muy positivos :)

The activity in general is very good. I was bothered by the lack of communication with the supplier before it, since I didn't know if it was going to be canceled or not. Due to moderate rains, the activity could not be enjoyed in the same way. In fact, I recommend looking at the weather because I think it is an activity that is only worthwhile in very good weather. Despite this, the treatment of the team and the guide has been very positive :)

El paseo fue muy lindo, muy divertido en la embarcacion con la banda musical q lo hizo más llevadero. Respetaron los horarios, todo el personal muy amable. Las playas de las islas me parecieron muy buenas sobre todo la de itaparica. No quiero dejar pasar la guía de la empresa q nos acompaño en el retiro del hotel y luego el regreso. Un desastre su nombre Ivone. Nunca se preocupo.x nosotros ni al llegar al puerto cómo.asimismo.al arribar de la excursión. Irresponsable total Translate this opinion into English.

The ride was very nice, very fun on the boat with the musical band that made it more bearable. They respected the schedules, all the staff were very friendly. I found the beaches of the islands to be very good, especially the one in Itaparica. I don't want to miss the guide from the company that accompanied us at the hotel pick-up and then back. Her name Ivone is a disaster. He never worried about us or when we arrived at the port or when we arrived from the excursion. Totally irresponsible Opinion translated. Show original.
