I liked Recife much more than I expected to, it's a friendly place with a rich culture and would be well worth a day IMHO. Uber works well in Recife, in my experience, and is very cheap by the standards of other countries. I wouldn't be too keen on driving as a visitor (nor indeed walking after dark). Not sure if it would be as easy to get one for day trips out of Olinda though.
