Best decision to know the history of the city. - He had only a few hours to explore the capital Paulista for the first time, and the tour with Danilo was the best decision he could make. Good price for the experience. It is very good to get to know the city by its historic center, where it all started. Danilo is calm, patient and has a good script with a light walk. When I return I will know other points, but already knowing how it came up. I recommend!!

Great 3 hour intro to Sao Paulo old town! - Manilo was a great guide with interesting historical facts as we walked through the old town. Want to visit Brazil again in the future, this trip way too short!

Sampa the best way! - I am a tourist in love with SP. And this time, I wanted to innovate. I took the tour with Danilo and we discovered São Paulo on foot for 4 hours of walk. How much wealth, how much history and what a cultural bath. We loved and learned a lot. It is super worth learning mis the history of our country and come times like these.

Excellent walking tour of historic centre with a likeable guide - A fabulous way to spend an afternoon, exploring the historical heart of the city - an area that’s often off the main tourist trail. Walking around with Danilo you get to see a lot of beautiful architecture and learn about the fascinating origins and development of Saint Paulo, including the various communities of immigrants who have, over the years, made the city the vibrant place it is now. Thank you again Danilo!

A great tour to learn about the history of São Paulo - I was eager to get to know the city of São Paulo and its history, and then I found this tour. In the group was me, a Brazilian, a Brazilian from Santa Catarina and two couples, being one from Canada and the other from Germany. During the tour, Danilo always asked if everything was okay, if anyone would like to take a break, drink water, use the bathroom etc, in addition to explaining everything in both Portuguese and English so that everyone understood. Anyway, super attentive and kind. During the tour, we pass through important places for the history of the city and we still get tips of places to see in the city. The time was neither short nor long, but the ideal. I highly recommend!

Guide with empathy - Danilo has made the visit of the city special. It started to rain but we couldn't postpone the visit because we were already returning to our city. He gave the umbrella to us, it sunk in whole but continued the visit to see Sao Paulo. Always with our rhythm. Exhaustive and very entertaining explanations. Gracias Danilo.

Good but a bit slow - It's a good, I just wished it was more dinamic. The guide was doing the same tour in several languages so the waiting time was a little bit frustrating. That information is not provided in the tour info.
