Didn’t have much time in Sao Paulo, but wanted to get a sense of historic core and architecture, and Sao Paulo is more than just Paulista Avenue. This walking tour with my guide Carlos was a crash course in both, and was completely worth it. Highly recommended.
If you are interested in history and architecture this tour is great. If not, it is still interesting. Not too long and not too short.
Roberto was an excellent guide throughout the historical centre of São Paulo. His deep knowledge of the city and its history made the tour both engaging and insightful. It truly felt like a journey through the past, discovering the cultural and historical roots of São Paulo. Roberto’s passion and storytelling brought every location to life. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to better understand this vibrant city.
Great experience and great scenery especially the bar on 27th Floor at Cadoro Hotel.
Carlos was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was able to see the important landmarks of downtown São Paulo. We passed by a few museums but unfortnately there was not enough time to enter. Honestly, I think the price was too much for the tour i received. I appreciate the guide.
A truly interesting view of Sao Paulo our guide Faical was extremely informative and good fun. We chose a 2 hour private tour which was enough for us. I highly recommend.
