I had a great experience with Danilo in my 6 1/2 hours tour of São Paulo. Danilo is very knowledgeable, fun and made the whole experience very interesting. I highly recommend Danilo for the tour.
Fantastic tour with a fantastic guide. I will recommend Carlos to my travel agency in Germany.
Our experience was exceptional! The guide presented São Paulo in the best possible way, making every moment of the tour interesting, pleasant and enriching. His knowledge, sympathy and dedication made all the difference, allowing us to know the city in a unique way. In addition to the excellent work of the guide, the entire staff of the agency demonstrated professionalism, organization and excellent service from beginning to end. I highly recommend it to those who want to experience São Paulo with quality, safety and an unforgettable experience. Congratulations to everyone for the impeccable work!
We had quite high expectations for this tour, but we have to say that Danilo exceeded that and then some! He is absolutely fascinating, full of every fact and story you could want about Sao Paulo, but alongside that incredibly entertaining - the balance was perfect. I am from England and my partner is from Sao Paulo, and we both learnt a tonne about the city and had a lot of laughs too. We saw historical landmarks, sampled delicious exotic fruits, had the iconic market sandwich, and snapped the best of Batman Alley. Danilo is also a great photographer, and we have several pictures from our day that we plan to get framed for our home. Ever since we did the tour, we have been thoroughly recommending it to anyone with visitors coming soon.
We had only 1 day to get an impression of São Paulo as a family. We rode by car through many areas of the city with our guide Alexandre, who was very cordial, friendly, and knowledgeable. We liked it a lot, and our children did too. I highly recommend it!!
