Review of Zurich’s Appenzell Alps day trip, with farm milk, cheese tasting, Hoher Kasten views, Appenzell, costs, and practical tips.

“Our tour guide Martin was wonderful. Started with Lindt chocolate tour which was really not a factory tour, but rather a chocolate store tour that was connected to the factory. Health regulations prohibit factory tours. But it was a beautiful store with wide selection of chocolates which we all bought and enjoyed the free samples on entering. Next came the cheese factory tour which had a glass partition allowing a direct view of the production floor and cheese storage area.

Review of Belém’s Marajó Island day trip, with boat rides, buffalo farms, beaches, local culture, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“O que mais gostei: o guia turístico Thiago, em Soure. Muito bom. E passeio foi feito mesmo com 1 único membro no grupo. O que não gostei: não cumpre o roteiro anunciado. Em Soure, não passaria em nenhuma fazenda de grupos (o guia não estava sabendo); só passou porque eu cobrei (e foi só o tempo de uma foto no búfalo). E em Salvaterra, não foi na UTRAN, nem na loja de açaí descritas (o 2º guia também não estava sabendo). E descobri que o preço praticado (em dólar/euro); o mais que o dobro do que o preço que a empresa de turismo local, à qual o serviço foi terceirizado,…”
