I thoroughly enjoyed this excellent tour of the neighborhoods of Sao Paulo and the hidden gens where Paulistas flock to find their favorite pastries snacks and meals was delightful. My tour guide Doris made sure we hit the very best spots known only to the native Paulistas. We sampled delicious, local treats and toured the markets to get a real sense of the best of Sao Paulo. Her affection for the city and its neighborhoods enhanced every stop along the way. I felt like I had seen and experienced gastronomical wonders I had never even dreamed of. We sampled only the best items in limited amounts to avoid stuffing ourselves. This way, we were able to make sure we were hungry for more at each stop.

We had a wonderful tour. Doris was friendly, fun and knowledgeable. We saw lots of things that we wouldn’t have seen and tasted interesting local foods. Excellent day!

The tour was excellent, Laura was really knowledgeable and so up beat and full of energy. The food was amazing and learning the bits of history and São Paulo culture was very fun. Highly recommend this.
