The tour with Faical was awesome. He’s incredibly knowledgable of São Paulo. He also makes the tour interesting and funny. We went to really cool places around the City and saw the city as locals. Riding on the subway was pretty cool too. The money you pay for this tour is definitely worth it. He’s also good at connecting participants of the tour with one on another, so an excellent option for solo travellers. Facial was also available for any questions long after the tour ended, such as safety precautions, places to buy souvenirs and where to get the best cachaça etc. He the Real MVP. 👏🏻

Nadiana was phenomenal! My guide was full of knowledge of the city and rich history that comes with the country and state of São Paulo. I learned so much and there was always great facts being shared and also funny comments. My guide was helpful, attentive and professional. 5 stars I would recommend this tour for anybody that wants to learn about the city and see amazing sites!

Great city tour. Josef was very knowledgeable and laid back guide. The tour is in a mini bus so it’s comfy and intimate. They had several groups with 12-13 people only per guide. Good itinerary and enough time to take photos and look around.
