What To Expect
Imperial Museum
Walking through the halls of the Palace of the Imperial Museum (formerly the imperial family's refuge during the summer months) is like traveling inside a history book. One of the thrones used by Dom Pedro II is in the State Room. The feeling is that the emperor can enter there at any time.

Reviews
I would recommend that visitors bring a copy of their photo ids and a print out of the specifics they paid for on this tour as they may be other visitors with different stops than yours on this tour. Bring water and snacks. Visitors should know that the lunch buffet only included 2 pieces of 'protien'. Additional protiens, some desserts and drinks you pay for seperately. A few of us wanted to purchase souvenirs from the Petropolis Palace home, but no one knew where it was and if it was open. The Crystal Palace, the small museum at the end of the tour and plane inventors house entrance to these places were not included. If the tour organizers want to list them as places of interest you visit on the tour, stopping visitors outside a closed fence to view a construction site is not considered a tour. Before leaving Petropolis City the tour literature indicates you visit a cholocate factory. It should be listed as a chocolate dessert cafe where you can enjoy everything chocolate. Some free samples would be recommended. Everyone visiting the chocolate shop should try the desserts and the best hot chocolate (ever) which is like a yummy pudding!
