This Is a Great Tour of Sao Paolo

Published on Dec, 2024

This walking tour was fantastic! Marcio was our guide and gave us a ton of information about the history of Brazil and Paulista Avenue. We visited several important sites on our tour and learned a whole lot. I highly recommend this tour and also highly recommend doing it on a Sunday since the avenue is closed to vehicular traffic on Sundays which made the walk very exciting and vibrant. Thank you so much!

Walking tour of Paulosta Ave was fabulous!
