5.00We did not tour São Paulo, rather Santos. I made an error in location in terms of where our cruise ship docked. Viator assisted in changing São Paulo tour to Santos. It was an excellent and welcome change. Our guide Roma was an amazing historian, so proud of her city and made our full day so rewarding - she balanced traffic, with rain and 12 passengers’ need so well. We saw more than we expected! Well done Roma.
Incredible Tour, Excellent Guide

5.00We met up with Carla in the old city and she took us on an amazing four hour walking tour. She was incredibly fun, knowledgeable, and accommodating. Her language skills are superb, and she speaks multiple languages fluently. She customised the tour to suit our interests and schedule, and got us access to places not usually open to the public. She even helped us sort out COVID tests at the end of the tour as we were flying out other that day. We can’t imagine having gone on the tour with anyone else as our guide. I would highly recommend both Carla, and this tour.
