Traveler reviews
Great memories of Sao paulo to carry with us back home to the US. This city is too big to do shopping in within just six hours,
We did all the shopping we wanted to do while having an exciting and informative tour of the city. Our tour guide knows his job and is very friendly.
Fantastic! Customizable! Bruno is Great!
I took 3 tours with Bruno over the course of my 3 day visit to Sao Paulo. They were all wonderful. In this review I'll specifically talk about the Shopping Tour. I was looking for unique items to bring home with me and Bruno did not disappoint. He took me to unique vendors all over the city- from specialized photography in Batman Alley, to one of a kind clothing on Oscar Friere, to saxophones on sold in Brazil. Bruno was as accommodating as he was knowledgeable. If I did not like a place (in any of the tours), we quickly moved onto another place that he thought that I would like. Bruno additionally negotiated with the vendors finding deals I would not have ever found on my own. We shared some amazing lunches too where he pointed out unique Brazilian cuisine that I tried. Everything was beyond great! If I could give 10 stars I would!
Shopping in Sao Paulo - Quilter Challenge
Our shopping request was for fabric for making quilts. Our guide Regiani was amazing! She took us to the perfect place. Whatever you want to shop for can be found. After shopping, we had a great lunch at Mercado Municipal. Communication was very easy on Whatsapp and pickup at the hotel was convenient. Thank you so much!
