The State of Ceará is the only region where it is not mandatory for the tour guide to have more than one language. Our guides speak fluent Portuguese and Spanish and basic English. Remembering that ours is a tour based on an experience in contact with nature and wonderful beaches, we guarantee an excellent activity for each of our customers.
This guide gives access to the main information in three languages (Portuguese, English and Spanish), without the rest of the crew and people involved in predominantly Portuguese activities.
On days with the highest tourist influx or in the presence of especially heavy traffic conditions, we may adopt the use of specific meeting points for customer pick-ups.
