Don’t just visit São Paulo—experience it. Take a guided walking tour through the streets of downtown São Paulo and learn how many immigrant communities—Japanese, Italian, Syrian-Lebanese and many others—have shaped the city into what it is today.

This experience is always led by me, Giuliano, a professional guide who moved here over 10 years ago and knows the historic center inside out; a place I see as an open-air living theater. This is a history walking tour that follows São Paulo’s development from a small Jesuit mission to the largest financial center in South America.

• Visit many of São Paulo’s famous historic buildings and monuments, including the Cathedral

• Hear stories about the city you won’t find in the tour guides

• No more than 10 people will take part in this small group tour
