Fun Afternoon
Great walking and learning about the Paulista Avenue. Doris communicated prior to our initial meeting point and all went smooth. I liked seeing the 4 old houses that are still standing. This was a great way to spend a few hours before a night flight or early morning.
This Is a Great Tour of Sao Paolo
This walking tour was fantastic! Marcio was our guide and gave us a ton of information about the history of Brazil and Paulista Avenue. We visited several important sites on our tour and learned a whole lot. I highly recommend this tour and also highly recommend doing it on a Sunday since the avenue is closed to vehicular traffic on Sundays which made the walk very exciting and vibrant. Thank you so much!
