Doris is the best Sao Paulo guide
Our private tour in Sao Paulo was done by Doris. She was very professional. I have previously requested the places we would like to visit specifically. However, without knowing the order of visit, I let Doris decide. As soon as we got into the car, she explained to us what is a better way to visit the places we want and to reduce backtracking to almost none. So our visit was very nice and very well organized. Obviously, during the visit, she was able to explain us the history of Sao Paulo and bring us to visit cool things around. I really appreciate her service and I would definitely ask for Doris service again

Kali was amazing guide ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Kali was my tour guide for most of Sunday. I had a general idea of some places to visit, but she provided a very professional itinerary. She was engaging, Smart, and knowledgeable. What more could you ask for in a tour guide? We got a lot done and we’re open to some really wonderful moments, including visiting the Japan museum, which I wouldn’t have done without her suggestion and witnessing a magician that took our breath away. Highly recommend. I researched this company before coming to Brazil from New York because of the reviews and they all proved right.
