Sueli took us (retired couple) round Our Preto and Mariana for 3 half day private tours and arranged evening dance lessons with a local teacher, for which she translated. We had such a great time with her. She is very knowledgeable, her English is good and she has a lovely personality. She customised the days to suit our needs and our pace and was so helpful and caring. We went round fabulous churches, museums, down gold mines, into historical buildings. We saw places and sights that we would never have experienced on our own - she even organised our return car transfer to Belo Horizonte. And her services were outstanding value - remarkable.

Due to COVID-19 all big tour companies were closed. Private tours are still possible, although all tourist sites are closed, only outside views. This company and their guide Adi indeed were of a great help. In 3 hours we managed to see all major São Paulo sites with good explanations and comments. The company and the guide are recommended for long and short tours and general support while you are in São Paulo. Many thanks.
