Informative Tour

I took this tour as part of a pre-planning effort for a work project. Doris showed me exactly what I needed to see and did a tremendous job explaining all the history and evolution of São Paulo’s architecture. Well done!

Beautiful São Paulo

Our tour guide, Kali, was extremely pleasant and courteous. We visited several landmarks and understood their history and significance as Kali was able to tell them well. We had lunch together then proceeded to the fruit stand at the market downtown. Excellent foods and company for all to enjoy. Kali, thanks again for giving us a beautiful tour of your city, your hospitality. I’m grateful we met. Good luck! Gibson and Aimee

Excellent tour with a wonderful guide

This was a really excellent tour with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide Doris. Doris asked us about our specific interests and tailored the tour to that. We gained a really good appreciation of the history of Sao Paolo through its architecture from its founding to the present day. We finished the tour with a coffee and the most spectacular view of the sun setting over the city. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you Doris for being such a great guide and introducing us to your city.

Fraude

I've been charged twice as much as I advertised. The activity advertised 125€ and I was charged 265$ impossible an email to claim

Great experience

Yesterday's guided tour in São Paulo with Doris as our guide was exceptional. Her fluency in English ensured that everyone, including our visitor from the US, could fully engage and enjoy the experience. Doris's knowledge and enthusiasm truly made the tour memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!
