Fantastic tour guide, vast knowledge, excellent driver
Danilo was an absolutely amazing tour guide. We did two separate tours, on two separate days with him. First of all, we were very impressed with his perfect command of the English language, he speaks like a native speaker. He has a vast knowledge of not just São Paulo and its important past and present history, the sites, the neighborhoods, the buildings, what is worth to see, but it was truly a pleasure talking to him about a wide variety of issues. In addition to being a fantastic and very knowledgeable tour guide and a wonderful person, he was also an excellent, calm and very safe driver, something which was very important when driving in busy São Paulo traffic. He kept his car spotlessly clean every time we rode with him. We have learned a lot during these two days from him and we would most certainly want him to be our tour guide again when we return. Gregturs is very lucky to have him as a tour guide!

Private family tour
Having a private tour is great because if needed you can pivot without being concerned about a bus full of guest. We had to do that because of the rain and still had a great time. Danielo was an EXCELLENT tour guide and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him
