Traveler reviews
Embu Das Artes
Tour was wonderful and Regiani was very knowledgeable of the history of the region and village. We had an outstanding lunch, toured a couple historic buildings and shopped the weekend craft fair. Price were very good as was the quality of merchandise especially leather products.
Sunday markets, restaurants and architecture.
We went on a Sunday and toured the old church and wandered the markets and had lunch in town. It was a lot of fun and great way to get some culture while in the big city!
Day trip to tour markets, architecture and food!
We had a wonderful time with Monica! She picked us up and took us to a fun town on the outskirts of the city. We were able to shop the market and tour a beautiful church and eat too much delicious food! She even bought us coffee and treats! She was knowledgeable of the area and spoke 5 languages. It was truly a pleasure and a great way to start our trip. I highly recommend this tour!
Very easy and professional!
This was such an easy tour. Very responsive to WhatsApp messages. We arranged a private tour with an excellent guide. Denis spoke perfect English. Was really interesting. We really felt we were in good hands
Embu Das Artes, Sao Paulo - A Journey Into The Hear Of Brazilian Artistry
Let me whisk you away to Embu Das Artes, a town that’s no ordinary tourist attraction. Founded by the Jesuits with the help of the local native people, this place holds a fascinating historical significance. It’s like stepping into a living canvas that tells the tale of Brazil’s cultural tapestry. Embu das Artes is one of my favorite destinations in Sao Paulo for a weeked get away. The charming colonial center is full of charming galleries, resturants and stores full of unique visual and items that can't be found anywhere else in the city. The weekend market is a real treasure with artisians selling everything from cakes to handmade leather goods and local wine and food products. Its a great place to slow down and let your give all of your senses a real treat.
