This private experience is designed just for you and your loved ones. The tour is exclusive to your group, so you can set the pace, ask plenty of questions, and spend extra time on the topics that interest you most - whether that's history, architecture, food, or local culture. It's the perfect way for couples, families, and friends to enjoy a more personal introduction to Florianópolis.
We'll start our adventure together in front of Café|Bar do Largo da Alfândega and set off to explore the charming historic center. Along the way, we'll discover the stories behind the city's most important monuments and buildings. We'll also take a break at StreetMe Coffee to enjoy a tasting of delicious local specialty coffee.
As we stroll through the city, we'll talk about the Indigenous peoples who first called the Island of Santa Catarina home and journey back to the 17th century to learn about the arrival of Portuguese settlers and the diverse communities that helped shape the island. After exploring the history of the so-called “Magic Island,” we'll visit the beautiful Cruz e Sousa Palace and the lively November 15th Square. Next, we'll discover important landmarks of Florianópolis's Black community and listen to the inspiring stories that make these places so special.
We'll wrap up our tour at the bustling Public Market, where you'll get to try a refreshing caldo de cana (fresh sugarcane juice) and sample cachaça, Brazil's famous spirit. Before we say goodbye, I'll share some great tips on what to do next in the city - and who knows, maybe we'll even enjoy a visit to one of Florianópolis's best family-friendly spots together!
