“I would say this is one of the best tours for the price I have ever been on. Leticia is very out going and personable guide. I learned a lot about the history of Brazil, saw beautiful street art, and even met some of the artists. It was very fun to sit around, chat and have a beverage from authentic place. 10/10 would recommend to a friend, a must if you are in São Paulo.”
