Great tour, expert guide (Bruno)! Highly recommended. - Bruno was a terrific guide; passionate about Sao Paolo and keen to share his expert knowledge of the city in all its glory. I cannot recommend this tour enough. The cathedral was a standout for me but there is so much content there will be something for everyone.
