Wonderful guide for Sao Paolo
Danilo was a fantastic guide to Sao Paolo. It was like being guided by a good friend. He shared all sorts of information when we had questions and took us to a lot of interesting places. Highly recommend Danilo as a guide.
Highly recommend!
Arthur was our guide and he was absolutely everything! Knowledgeable, thoughtful, and great sense of humor. Hands down the best tour guide I’ve had all year. My husband, cousin and I felt right at home. We saw landmarks, art exhibits, did a tequila tasting, walked through Batman Alley and even stopped for a delicious meal at Z Deli! I highly recommend it commend booking this tour. I hope to book again on the next trip so Arthur can show us even more of the city.
HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Wow! What an incredible experience Arthur curated for us in São Paulo. His wealth of knowledge, bright personality and thoughtfulness made us feel like he was our long lost Brazilian brother. Even when we got caught in the rain, Arthur was prepared with an umbrella and ponchos to keep all of us dry. The car and driver were always on time and clean. Arthur even took candid pics of us along the way and airdropped them to us. It made us feel very special. I hope to take tours of more areas of the city next time return. It was worth every penny. I highly recommend this tour.
Danilo is the best travel guide!
Right from the airport pickup, Danilo was so friendly and knowledgeable. Had great food and conversation. We went to so many different places including a museum, street art, food market and rooftops where I could see all of São Paolo. Highly recommend Danilo.
