Excelente Tour

If you're visiting São Paulo, this tour is excellent for getting to know the city's main area, Avenida Paulista, in a pleasant and comprehensive way. The guide was very professional and shared many tips, recommendations, and key facts about the area throughout the tour. I would definitely take it again.

Una experiencia enriquecedora.

Conocer la historia del corazón de la ciudad, fue una experiencia rica. La organización fue rigurosa desde la inscripción, hasta el recorrido. Quizá sería bueno hacer una ligazón más precisa entre la historia de la pequeña aldea fundacional de São Paulo, en un planalto privilegiado y su proyección para ganar espacios como la paulista. El guía, joven y empírico, se preocupaba hasta por la seguridad del grupo. Quizá debería incentivar una mayor interacción con los visitantes, pro.oviendo preguntas o aclarando dudas. Fue bastante honesto en reconocer su "debut" en esa ruta , pero se mereció los aplausos. En definitiva, un recorrido recomendable y rico.

Kudos to Eliane for her work. I think the tour is a bit too long though.
