Informative Tour

Linda_V, Apr 2026
I took this tour as part of a pre-planning effort for a work project. Doris showed me exactly what I needed to see and did a tremendous job explaining all the history and evolution of São Paulo’s architecture. Well done!

Excellent tour with a wonderful guide

Richard_S, Jul 2025
This was a really excellent tour with a very knowledgeable and friendly guide Doris. Doris asked us about our specific interests and tailored the tour to that. We gained a really good appreciation of the history of Sao Paolo through its architecture from its founding to the present day. We finished the tour with a coffee and the most spectacular view of the sun setting over the city. We would definitely recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you Doris for being such a great guide and introducing us to your city.

Doris, our guide, was outstanding...

Doris, our guide, was outstanding. Her charm, knowledge and driving skills were awesome and made our half day architectural tour of Sao Paulo exceedingly pleasant, even the large downpour towards the end of the afternoon could not dampen our spirits. Our guide's knowledge of the architecture of the city was much better than I had expected and her manner is also exceedingly pleasant, giving her charges a number of options for them to decide as it is impossible to see everything in an afternoon. We chose to look at modern architecture and we were amply rewarded with the buildings that we saw, including the Unique Hotel designed by .Ruy Ohtake, and other buildings designed the legendary Oscar Niemeyer see the picture with this review of the Ibirapuera Auditorium built in 2002-05.Many of his early works are concentrated in Ibirapuera Park, which establish to commemorate the city's 400th anniversary. Great guide, great tour, great city, great memories.
