Mauricio & Joao,

I want to thank you for what we experienced on the HSTA tour of Brazil, although it is difficult to find adjectives descriptive enough to relay our feelings. All facets of the tour were beyond our expectations.

The roads chosen were great fun, ranging from big sweepers to tight mountain twisties. Our experience of the Brazilian culture ranged from big cities full of bikes, motorbikes, and cars in amazing motorcycle friendly traffic patterns, to the quiet countryside with carts and horses. The restaurants provided us with incredible fresh fruits, seafood, and traditional Brazilian dishes, in a variety of atmospheres, all of which were greatly enjoyed.

Every detail was taken care of for us, and in the most efficient way. You are both gentlemen and extremely personable, and made us feel genuinely welcomed and comfortable from the very first day all the way through the trip to the last day. If a problem arose, it was never called a problem; your approach was to find a way to manage the situation.

It is obvious that a lot of time and effort has gone into planning these tours, and you have succeeded in making them as close to perfect as I think is humanly possible.

But best of all was getting to to know the Brazilian people. Everywhere we went, fancy restaurants, supermarkets, and roadside stands, from the weathiest to the poorest, every person we met made us feel at home.

I can't wait visit Brazil again. And when we do, it will be with Ayres Adventures.

Obrigada!
