Best tour guide and tour

ILAN was so knowledgeable about the history of Brazil. He was a great tour guide everywhere we went. The trip was to Embu das Artés on a Friday. Even though Sat or Sunday was the big market day, still had so much to see. Ilan was fun and has a great personality. I highly recommend him!

Extremely enjoyable visit to local artist community.

Enjoyed the outing, My guide was very knowledgable both about the location as well as sights we passed. Also informative about São Paulo history. Embu was charming and I purchased a small painting by a local artist.

A totally enjoyable experience. The information and guidance were very appreciated. I encourage more people who have a few hours during a business trip to get out and see more of the amazing city of São Paulo. Thank you Neto!

Wonderful way to spend the morning

I had a wonderful time exploring Embu. Neto, my guide, took me on a short tour of São Paulo on our way to the town and shared the history and highlights of the city. He was patient as I shopped and provided guidance on the best Brazilian products to try. Neto provided me insights into Brazilian culture and made sure I had an enjoyable experience.

Don't go during the week

This could have been a great trip. Take my advice, and don't do it during the week like we did. Nothing was open and traffic was so bad, it left us with about an hour there. We were threatened with additional fees if we didn't leave lunch, even though we arrived to Embu late and the only open restaurant was quite slow. I do recommend this trip, just not how we did it.

Operator response

Good morning Ms Marcia, it is a pity that your city tour was disappointing, we always let you know that Embu das Artes is a city famous for its arts fair on weekends, talking to our guide, he explained to us that he suggested 2 restaurants for you (the one you saw at the entrance to the city and the German restaurant) and you chose, but the information that it is the only open restaurant is not exactly accurate, there must be at least 40 options, when our guide saw that you spent more than 2 hours in the restaurant, he is instructed to say that the schedule is tight, and that if necessary we are available to stay longer (but, logically, there is a cost to work more than the contracted time) and even so he ended up staying because of the I transit almost 6 hours, and the contract was 4 hours, and we don't charge you any extra. As for the traffic, there was a demonstration on Av Paulista and our guide actually informed us that there was unusual traffic that day on the way back to São Paulo. Again we apologize for what happened, and we will always keep informing you that Embu is really more interesting on weekends. We hope someday to have the opportunity to change your bad impression of our small company that always strives to please all customers, I hope that at least you were satisfied at this point. Regards.

Embu das Artes!

Loved this tour to Embu das Artes with incredibly knowledgable and warm guide Dóris! The drive to and from Embu das Artes flew by with Dóris sharing all sorts of information relating to our journey. We then walked through this small town of Embu, seeing shops, restaurants, and the park. She quickly understood my interests in art, and asked the shopkeepers for assistance as needed. Great tour! Cute town! Request Dóris!
