    The story is told neutrally, somewhat from the victors' perspective. The guide was very polite and clear.

    Our guide, Klaus, was excellent. He introduced the attractions in every detail, revealing historical facts about the city, such as its colonization, personalities of the time, and much more! It was a tour full of culture and information about Maranhão. Congratulations.
