Description

I have been working as a tour guide in the city of São Paulo since 2004, offering unique and personalized experiences for visitors from all over the world. I specialize in the history of São Paulo and the history of coffee, with deep knowledge of the economy of the city and the state. During the tours, I address topics such as urban growth and development, the architecture throughout the different eras, the chronology of the expansion of the city, as well as environmental, cultural, artistic and LGBT tourism. With fluency in Portuguese, English and Spanish, I provide a clear and accessible communication, ensuring a complete immersion in the rich diversity of São Paulo. My goal is to turn each visit into a memorable experience, combining quality information, hospitality and passion for the city.

Best way to see São Paulo

Danilo was amazing!!! He started before we even got to São Paulo, he gave us recommendations of places to see on our first stop in Brazil. Once we arrived he gave a premium experience in a great car, tailored our stops to our wants along the way and most of all… made us feel comfortable the whole time. Would def recommend to anyone but especially LGBT and female tourists that may be worried in a new country. Thank you for everything!!!

Fantastic Tour with a Fantastic Guide.

Danilo is a fantastic tour guide and overall human. He is knowledgable not only about the city but about the culture, customs and the kind of stuff you wouldn't hear about on other tours. It was a rainy day to start, but he came by in his very comfortable pick--up truck and designed a tour that was not dependent on nice weather. He took lots of pictures for us and knew exactly where we should stand to get the best shots. We had a fantastic trip through Batman Alley to see all the street art, got a fantastic view of the city from atop the modern art museum, visited a local market where we had a famous mortadella sandwich and tasted some of the. most delicious fruit we've ever had in our lives. Overall we spent over six hours together and could have hung out longer. He's a fascinating person with perfect English who is also a psychologist...like that's his other job! It was a perfect way to get acquainted with this gigantic city and to be honest, we could do a whole other day with him to see more. Well worth the price (we added a tip we liked him so much) and we would aboslutely recommend 100%. Thank you again, Danilo!

Great tour of São Paulo

Our guide for this tour was Nelio. He substituted for Danilo who fell ill the day prior. We appreciated his willingness to come on such short notice as we only had one full day in São Paulo. Nelio arrived early, was very knowledgeable and packed a lot into a few hours without making us feel rushed. He took some really nice pictures as well. We also ended up eating at all the restaurants he suggested for the remainder of our trip. Great tour and great guide!

What a way to spend 1/2 a day in São Paolo

Juliana and her expertise gave my son and I the very best opportunity to explore São Paolo from a locals perspective. From the time we spent in the Mercado, the artsy neighborhood of Beco du Batman, all of the sights of Paulista Avenue, museums and graffiti murals of the city we were simply amazed by her ability to provide such an excellent experiences even when the weather did not cooperate with our tour. We originally planned the tour with Danilo, her colleague, but a delay in getting back to Sao Paolo caused us to miss touring with him. He assured us that he would place us in great hands and that we would have an amazing time and he did that and more. Excellent communication from both of them before, during and after the trip. Feel free to book this tour with confidence that you will have an unforgettable experience.

Great Tour, well worth the money

Fantastic tour. HIGHLY recommended. Danilo could not do the tour because of a family emergency so he asked to provide a substitute guide. She was FANTASTIC. She spent more time with us than the tour required, provided advice for additional things for us to do after the tour was complete. And, helped us with a hotel mixup. For the money this tour can not be beat.

Amazing São Paulo Tour with the Wonderful Juliana

We had such a wonderful experience on our private tour of São Paulo! While we originally booked with Danilo, he had a family emergency and set us up with Juliana, and we couldn’t have been happier with the change. Juliana was fantastic from the start, keeping us informed on when she would arrive and being incredibly warm and welcoming. She clearly loves her city and took the time to explain the different neighborhoods and the unique character of São Paulo. We had a great time exploring art galleries and shops with her guidance. Her car was super comfortable, and she even thoughtfully brought us water. Juliana was so lovely to talk with, and it was a pleasure learning about São Paulo through her eyes. I highly recommend her as a tour guide – she made our day truly memorable!
