About this experience

I come to offer you a city tour in the paradise of waters with lots of stories and cultural riches. Firstly, we will take a journey between the 18th and 19th centuries in the beautiful neighborhood called Jaraguá, where you will see the famous warehouses and one of the most radiant buildings ever built in Maceió, a commercial association. Then we will set off to visit Rua do Imperador, monuments in honor of the two marshals of Alagoas, Catholic churches built in the mid-17th century and much more.
The way in which I will transmit the information to my clients, in a fun and accessible way for all age groups, will be the big difference!
