Very good overall. We paid noticeably less than other options and the experience was just as good. The food was delicious and the portions generous. The guide was good, though I would have liked more time for questions. We stayed on walking around Cultural Beliefs after dinner. Drinks took a while to arrive at the start.

One of the highlights of our trip to Sao Paulo. Our guide was the highlight: incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer anything. The show started right on time. Five well earned stars.

Positive overall
Positive overall, with room to improve. They dropped us at Esotericism with no detours. Our flight was delayed and the driver waited anyway, no extra charge. There were several of us and we could not get seats together. Sort those details and it is a ten.

Fue el mejor día de nuestro viaje a Sao Paulo. Muy buena relación precio calidad. El recorrido está bien pensado, no se repite ni da vueltas de más. Si están por Sao Paulo, no se lo pierdan.

The kind of thing you still remember years later. Cultural Beliefs was the perfect finish to the day. The group was not huge, which made it much more comfortable. Highly recommended.

Super recomendo
Foi o melhor dia da nossa viagem a Sao Paulo. O atendimento antes da reserva esclareceu todas as dúvidas. Nosso guia conduziu o grupo impecavelmente, ninguém ficou para trás. O atendimento foi atento sem ser invasivo. O único ponto foi a espera no início, saímos uns vinte minutos atrasados.
