Fun day with Danilo! - I had not done a LGBT tour before when I travel and wanted to give this a try and it was really enjoyable! My guide Danilo knew a lot about history, and art of São Paulo while making me feel very safe and understood, we stopped along the way for me to eat, get some coffee anything I needed he was very attentive. I liked the tour so much I booked a few more from this company, you are in good hands with them! I recommend for anyone. Obrigado

Awesome São Paulo tour! - I had a tour with Danilo and I honestly have to say it was one of the best introductions to São Paulo I could have asked for. Danilo really knows his city and is an excellent conversationalist. He is also very flexible in tailoring the tour towards what you want to see and experience. I will never forget the Açai berry bowl I ate with him. Thank you Danilo!

A must tour while in São Paulo! - Danilo was our tour guide and was absolutely fantastic! His communication was great and showed us all around São Paulo. If we wanted to change up the tour and spend a little time at some spots he showed us it was no problem. We had some fantastic views of the city and we would have never found them on our own. He gave us some great perspectives and helped us with some restaurant and bar ideas for the nights out. It was an absolutely fantastic tour and would highly recommend while in São Paulo!

Perfect for solo traveler - Booking a “best of” tour was the best way to explore the city for a solo traveler and my first time to Brazil and São Paulo. Renato was very knowledgeable, amicable, and a great companion as he took me around the major sights and districts around the city.. also provided info on the best areas and places to go on my own that would be safe. Would recommend!

São Paulo gem - Marcio gave us a great LGBTQ perspective of São Paulo. We were able to see the city through the eye of a local from shops, to the arts, parks, museums, and local cuisine. He tried to give us much information while going to the streets of São Paulo. We feel that it would be difficult to hit all those spots on our own. Great experience and kudos to Marcio for being accommodating!
