Renato was awesome, providing rich indepth history of Paulista Avenue. Stopping at important and iconic landmarks. Renato was very detailed and I felt I gained a lot of knowledge walking away from the tour. I took the tour on my day visiting and was a pro when I came back the following days! Thanks Renato for all the knowledge and making great suggestions on places to visit on the Avenue.

nothing can be improved about this tour Doris our tour guide was great and knowledgeable she even took us to other parts of the town when The Japan House was closed from construction. Great walking tour after a long flight.
