Petrópolis: Rio's Imperial Escape & Royal Palace Tour

The Petrópolis tour was nothing what I thought it was going to be, Ms Eva was very knowledgeable spoked 3 languages, very informed step by steps. Know her history. I felt it was a little overate the Museum. The Crystal Palace was a joke, just a empty building. The Quintandinha Palace was should a long drive just to only see the outside from across the lake. Didn’t walk down Teresa Street, but did go inside the Mall. NeiGotic Cathedral was very nice. The Chocolate Factory was very nice. The Domonts house seem from distance. The lunch meal was amazing, drinks not inclue. Dessert not included. But it was nice, what make nice was Eva the guide.

Mas a amazing tour, beautifull and historical city, and many details about de Royal family by Camila, ouro show and lovely guide

Petropolis is a fascinating place if you are interested in history. The drive there is also very scenic. There are two guides who are very knowledgeable about the different places we visited and could answer any questions. Claudia did a great job of translating and her English is very good.

We wanted to have one major historical day trip from Rio and found this great tour. Camila & Michel were our guides and they were both excellent. Both showed great knowledge and passion for the Petropolis history and area which made the tour that much better. The highlight was the former palace of Dom Pedro II, as well as learning all the history of the city. Highly recommend this tour to anybody.

“Our last tour when visiting Brazil was to the city of Petrópolis and Gregtur made great arrangements for us. Camila was our guide and friend throughout the tour. As it was during the pandemic, we had the entire city to ourselves and a had wonderful time exploring multiple historical sights. Glad to have had this experience and wish I had more time...."

What can I say? Words just don’t do an experience like we had any justice. It was a breathtaking tour in the city of Petrópolis. Camila, our guide took us on the trip of a lifetime. With Covid, they were super flexible and accommodating and fixed our tour without any issues. We went to Quitandinha Palace, Petrópolis Imperial Museum, Cathedral of São Pedro, Brewery Bohemia, just to mention a few. We ate amazing local food and experienced life like it is for the locals. We drove the whole way having Camila sharing so much information about Rio, culture and history. If you choose to go to Brazil, you have to go with Gregtur. A trustworthy company that will make your trip exactly what you want and need. Thank you guys

This tour to Petrópolis was truly perfect and well planned. Safe, secure and incredibly tailor made just for us. The customer service was exemplary and our guide was a master in Rio and Petrópolis, Camila. She has a true passion for history and an incredible educational background as well. Petropólis is very clean, well appointed and lots and lots of food! We were able to see the main city’s highlights. Camila thoughtfully showed us the important aspects of the city. We went to Santos Dumont's House, Crystal Palace and enjoy the vibrant gardens and museums . It was an absolute pleasure. We have a friend for life in Rio now. Loved this trip with all our hearts! ❤️❤️ Thank you Camila, Rodrigo (driver) and Beyond, Gregtur and all the people that served us with the utmost care in this trip.

Gregtur was wonderful to work with! They were extremely helpful with planning everything and made a tour to Petrópolis in the budget I was working with. Our guide was very patient and answered all the questions my group had along the way. The times in Petrópolis was amazing, with great weather, beautiful views and contemplating beautiful landscapes of Petrópolis. Thank you again to Gregtur for all your work in helping to make it happen!!

There is not enough words to describe this experience. If you are looking for a serious company with knowledgeable and professional expertise in the area this is the right team for you. Starting with Renato contacted me and provided the whole information about the tour, the driver Rodrigo that was courteous, professional and safe. Camila who the tour guide, joined us giving a detailed explanation about the city of Rio, she is bilingual with good command of English language and Michel the tour guide in Petropolis, who gave us a detailed History of the city and historic sites. This is the perfect team if you are looking for a professional and knowledgeable experience.

I highly recommend this tour if you want to know more about Brazil history and culture, beyond the beach and carnival's life. This was private tour, so my partner and I where picked up on time by Rodrigo ( the driver) and Bruno ( the guide). Bruno was amazig, very helpfull the entire trip. He helped us a lot with the communication with the locals. Every step of the road Bruno was telling us facts about the landmarks of the city, about and Brazil's history, he even had photos of the Royalty so we could have a better understanding of the facts. Because we went on COVID times the main attraction, the Royal Palace was closed, but we got to know the other gems of Petropolis, and once we were there we meet with a local guide, Michel, who told us evertything about the city, and took us to really nice places. He is a really nice guy, very proffesional and knowleadgeable about the city. Thanks to Rodrigo for our safe rides to home,he is an excellent driver, and I can't strech this enough. I always get dizzy when traveling by car, I usually take a travel-sick pill, but with Rodrigo I didn't have to do it, even though the road had a lot of curves. The van was spotless, fully equiped with air-condicionate and snacks. Thanks to Renato, the organizer, he did a great job making sure everythig run smoothly. We came to Brazil to relax and enjoy, and thanks to GregTur we did it.
