What to do and see in Fortaleza, State of Ceara (CE): The Best Sightseeing Tours
Beaches are the top draw in this sunny, rapidly developing city, particularly bohemian, party-hearty Iracema, family-friendly Meireles, fishing and boating base camp Mucuripe and low-key Praia do Futuro. Stalls at the Mercado Central or Feirinha Beira Mar brim with local handicrafts, ranging from ceramics to lacework and leather goods. The Dutch-built Fortress of Nossa Senhora da Assunção in the city center, constructed in 1649, marks the spot where Fortaleza originated.

Tour started off by being 40 mins late. Brought through Get Your Guide we asked for a English speaking guide. Did we get one? No we didn’t. Spent 40mins to an hour at a market which is far too long we couldn’t of spent the time better at Morro Branco. The dune were good, but again we got a Portuguese guide and not an English speaking one. When we got to Morro Branco the Dune Buggies were fun and a good laugh but it would be much better if you could drive one. Restaurant we went to was awful asked for chicken and got the scraps you would give the dog. We paid £10 for that meal including a sprite. This tour needs some serious upgrading.

The people that help you in person are nice. However the organization that sells the tickets are very deceiving. They advised us that they will take us to a destination in 6 hours. However they do not mention a 4 hour stop at a lagoon where they try to sell you things for 4 hours. Only take this option if you have an entire day to kill. We missed our next bus because of the lack of information. Wouldn't use them again.
