This is by far the best day trip in town. There is really no better experience than walking around with a knowledgeable guide (in our case it was Gabriel) who has a wide and deep knowledge of Brazilian history. The tour took us to cathedrals, museums, a paulista avenue, a artsy corridor with Kobra’s murals and a marketplace where we had lunch. I wholly recommend this tour. Renato was accommodative of our many requests to changes and always polite. This is 6 stars on 5.Rachel_J

Danilo is an amazing guide, so personable and informative. We got to try authentic pastels, cafes, sugarcane juice, and pão na chapa throughout the tour. We saw spectacular views, amazing street art, culturally significant sites, and relaxing nature in Ibiraquera Park. Danilo told wonderful stories about the history of São Paulo and even some interesting stories of his family's history in São Paulo. I was so impressed by his knowledge and friendliness. It's a once in a lifetime experience.
