5.00Having just done the most amazing 3hr walking tour in Sao Paulo with Roberto C Mayer He is such a polite, considerate man with a wealth of knowledge, shared interesting facts and a lovely way about him. We covered a big area and I never felt rushed at all. Gives you a overall feel of the city. I would recommend this tour!! Thank you for a memorable day! Jean, Cape Town, South Africa

5.00This is our first time in São Paulo and this was a great tour! We met Roberto in the city center and got to explore many of the main historical buildings. He has a vast knowledge of São Paulo’s history and Brazil. It was fascinating to hear him speak and share his insights. Pro tip- wear comfortable shoes you will be walking around the city center.
Very nice and organized...

5.00Very nice and organized walking tour of the center city. I doubt that we could have done this exploration by ourselves.

5.00Faical was a great guide. He meet us at our hotel as finding the original meeting point was difficult for us. He had a super sense of humor and was very easy to talk to. The route he had chosen was interesting and we went to places we would not have thought to go ourselves. The art area, Batman Alley was a highlight. Faical also gave us some great ideas for things to do after the tour. It was well paced, informative and a lot of fun.
Best private tour of the city you can book if you are young and traveling solo!

5.00This is the best bang for the buck ever. I almost don’t want to write a good review to not give away the secret! It’s totally private and customizable to what you want to see. My tour guide, Clarissa, was INCREDIBLE. She was flexible, sweet, and very knowledgeable. Thanks so much!
