São Paulo proudly hosts some of the world's largest immigrant communities, including Italians, Japanese, Syrian-Lebanese, and more. During our exploration, we'll uncover the fascinating history of this city, from its first skyscraper in Latin America to the pre-existing Tupi nation and the ancient South American pathways that once crisscrossed these lands.
Our journey will take us through the “new” center and the historic downtown, where we'll discover the enduring legacies of Jesuits, conquerors, churches, banks, migrants, and immigrants. Along the way, I'll illustrate how São Paulo has undergone a remarkable transformation over the past century, providing insights into what it's like to live here today.
Prepare to ascend to the city's heights, where you'll be awed by its sheer vastness, only to then dive into its vibrant communities, immersing yourself in a kaleidoscope of colors, scents, and hidden details.
This is my daily life in this captivating, beautiful chaos!

I booked this tour as a birthday gift for my friend who was visiting São Paulo. According to my friend, this was one of the best tour he's ever been to. Giuliano was very kind and took him to several unseen parts in the city that he could'nt have visited on his own. Giuliano briefed him about politics, geography, architecture, lifestyle, food, music, history, art etc. during the whole tour making the whole Experience so much better than just a walking tour. I would myself take this Experience when I am in Brazil one day. 5 Stars. Go For It. Thank you Giuliano.

A best decision to go on a walking tour with Guiliano. He's very professional yet personable and genuine. He's very knowledgeable not just about SP but also of Europe, often tying the histories together. It's clear he has much to share. I learnt much about the history of SP and Brazil, its culture, migration, economics. The tour covered a little of everything but enough to give a good overview for someone new to the city. The walk ended at a perfect location with plenty of options for food, sightseeing and the subway.
As a solo female traveller, Guiliano put me at east and explained the dynamics of the city. Although as a tourist, I'd never be able to move around like a local but his explanations helped me to immerse and more fully appreciate the city. I'd highly recommend anyone visiting SP to go on this tour.
