Must Do to Get a Sense of Sao Paulo - Didn’t have much time in Sao Paulo, but wanted to get a sense of historic core and architecture, and Sao Paulo is more than just Paulista Avenue. This walking tour with my guide Carlos was a crash course in both, and was completely worth it. Highly recommended.

If you are interested in... - If you are interested in history and architecture this tour is great. If not, it is still interesting. Not too long and not too short.

Pricey For a walking tour - Carlos was very knowledgeable and friendly. I was able to see the important landmarks of downtown São Paulo. We passed by a few museums but unfortnately there was not enough time to enter. Honestly, I think the price was too much for the tour i received. I appreciate the guide.
