★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 91 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $31Best value

Walk São Paulo’s historic center from Edifício Itália to Liberdade with guide Giuliano, covering architecture, immigration, coffee, and city life.

“Great overview of the history of São Paulo! Our guide was thorough and gave us a ton of information on the history and socioeconomic reasons behind the changes the city saw. There was no question he could not answer. I could probably read about all of this on Wikipedia, but Guilliano really fleshed it out and brought it to life in a way that will stay with me a long time. Highly recommend!”
