The Historic Triangle of São Paulo’s old city cente

Join me for a relaxed, authentic, and insightful walking tour through the Historic Center of São Paulo, starting at the peaceful Mosteiro de São Bento and ending at the city’s birthplace, the Pátio do Colégio, passing through squares, narrow streets, and buildings filled with living history.

Unlike most walking tours — where guides only explain the sites from the outside — this is the only tour where we make short, intentional stops at each landmark.

These pauses allow you to take photos, observe details, feel the atmosphere, and truly experience each place, instead of just listening and moving on.

The pace is comfortable, unhurried, and designed so you can enjoy the city, not rush through it.

👥 Small groups, real connection

I keep the groups small so we can:

• talk and ask questions freely
• adapt the rhythm of the walk
• stop comfortably for photos
• create a more personal and human experience

During the tour, I share fun facts, anecdotes, and little-known stories about São Paulo — from its colonial origins and coffee-era wealth to the daily life of the city today.

💬 Languages

I speak English, Spanish, and Portuguese.

If the tour includes people who speak different languages, don’t worry — I naturally adapt the explanations so everyone feels included and understands the stories.
