Great way to get to know the historic center - Very interesting tour in the historic center. We went on a weekday and as it passes through streets with active trade, it gets a little tumultuous. But the tour itself is very cool, knowing a little about our history.

It's worth it - The walking tour is very good. Through it we pass the sights, take pictures and know a lot. Alexandre told us many stories of the region and provided throughout the tour historical information to complete the tour. Super worth it! We recommend

Hotels in São João Del Rei - It is a very interesting tour with a lot of history and discovery. It's the kind of walk to understand the pigs of things are where they are. The city is an open-air museum. Being accompanied by the tour guide Alexandre was very pleasant because he told every detail where we passed. Besides, being with someone who understands and knows the city makes all the difference.
