Where
shall I start? Fayanne, my mother, and I had such a wonderful time in
Ouro Preto. By sharing your knowledge of the history of the region
and your familiarity with the towns we visited, you greatly enriched
our trip. Your restaurant recommendations were fantastic. Most of
all, you were charming company and we felt very well taken care of." |

"Pedro, so So good to
hear from you. Our visit to Ouro Preto and meeting you was a highlight of
our trip for which we are most grateful. Your organisational
skills were much appreciated given our lack of local language skills. Room
for improvement would be hard to find. However some very minor
suggestions and they concern advice at the start. We did not know until the
end that the hotel (which we thought was an excellent choice) provided a
shuttle service to the town centre which would have made us more adventurous
in the evening, we wish to have been informed on arrival of what was
provided or available I wish we had been told where to go to for Minas
Gerais cooking earlier, the food was so much more interesting than the
usual 'tourist' spaghetti and steak restaurants, our last meal on your
recommendation was
superb, a highlight again The hotel did not have heating thus the rooms were
very cold (but all other features were excellent) we were also grateful for
arranging an
early morning breakfast on the last morning. We enjoyed your sense of humour
matched to your knowledge of the history of the area. We recall your'
tropics, catholic and Portuguese' quote as the perfect summary of Brazil
which we think has a 'wow' factor a real buzz. Wish you and the family
(Pedro 1,2 and 3?) good health and success in the future. Should you ever
arrive in Australia please contact me on our home email" |

"Dear
Pedro, how are you? Cristiano and I are back to Italy and back to our
routine life. We are astonished in realising how impressed we were about
our Brazilian trip but above all how much we enjoyed and appreciated the
tour we had with you; after Minas Gerais we visited other regions, other
cities, other sites, as beautiful as yours but I'm sorry (and proud) to
say that not as involving as the ones we visited with you. And we know
that the difference was your presence, your kindness and your passion. For
this reasons we want to thank you once again for having made us appreciate
so much your beautiful country. We'll be remembering Pedro Paulo and Minas
Gerais for years to come. Love."

" Hi....we thought Pedro
was an excellent guide! He was professional, yet friendly, with a great
sense of humor. We felt very relaxed with him and we learned so much about
the history of Ouro Preto. He is really an expert on the history of the
churches, the town, the culture and even on the minerals & gemstones. He
recommended great places to eat and we enjoyed all of them very much. The
pizza place (Passos?) was excellent as was Flute de Bene's where we ate two
delicious meals. He also directed us to a great Gemstone dealer (ITA Gemas)
that we thought was extremely professional and very skilled in his field.
All of his tips were correct and much appreciated! I have already referred
Pedro to several American friends in Campinas that wish to travel to the
beautiful town of Ouro Preto." |
