São Paulo (Portuguese pronunciation: [sɐ̃w ˈpawlu] ( listen)) is one of the 26 states of the Federative Republic of Brazil and is named after Saint Paul of Tarsus. As the richest Brazilian state and a major industrial complex, often dubbed the "locomotive of Brazil", the state is responsible for 33.9% of the Brazilian GDP. São Paulo also has the second highest Human Development Index (HDI) and GDP per capita, the fourth lowest infant mortality rate and the third lowest rate of illiteracy among the federative units of Brazil. São Paulo alone is richer than Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia combined. If São Paulo were an independent country, its nominal GDP would be ranked among the top 20 in the world (2010 estimate). The economy of São Paulo State is the most developed in Brazil.

Everything was a s described. We had an enjoyable time. My only suggestion for the operators is that for this price you could include at least a couple of drinks and a snack on the beach.

Nice trip to the country side close by São Paulo - the so called "little" Switzerland gives you the opportunity to forget the big city and relax with a nice view on approx. 2'000 meters above sea level. Our driver Luciano did a good job explaining in English, what the history of São Paulo is about and brought us safely back to out hotel (after almost 12 hours on the road:)).

I was visiting São Paulo on business and had the opportunity to squeeze in a six hour city tour! Diogo did a fabulous job! He contacted me in advance to find out exactly what I liked and what types of things I wanted to see, and then created a personalized ‘art tour’! It was such s fun day! I saw everything (and more!) that I wanted, learned a huge amount about São Paulo’s history, and really enjoyed my day! I had to attend a meeting at the end of the day and Diogo made sure I was with the right person in the right place before he left me! I felt like I was touring with a friend, not a guide! Muito obrigada, Diogo!

Had an incredible time touring the site of São Paulo with our tour guide Roberto. He made us feel safe, shared history, and answered all of our questions. He even took us to the mall afterwards since we had some extra time. I recommend this tour and Roberto as a guide.
