Tour description
São Paulo is one of the largest cities on earth, a colossal, pulsating metropolis that is the economic and cultural engine of Brazil. Beyond the endless skyline lies a fascinating historic centre where the city was born. On this walking tour a local guide leads you through the old core and helps you make sense of this overwhelming megacity.
You will stand before the great Sé Cathedral, wander the historic streets where São Paulo began, and hear about the coffee barons and immigrants who built the city. Along the way you will experience the incredible energy and diversity that define 'Sampa'. Vast and vibrant, São Paulo is best understood on foot with a local at your side.
