A true professional! Lucas is a wonderful tour guide; knowledgeable of the city, true local of Sao Paolo (Brazil) and well traveled. My daughter and I traveled with Luca to Campo do Jordao (Brazil) and felt safe traveling with Lucas the entire day. Lucas spoke in English and was very easy to understand and communicate with. Hands down a very pleasant experience! Highly recommend!!

Reviews
Lucas is an amazing tour guide. As a born and raised Paulistano, he knows everything about the city, he is very friendly and has a nice car which makes the tour very comfortable. I did a private tour with him for 6 hours and it felt like I did it with a friend. He is also very flexible and does everything to make sure you have a memorable time in Sao Paulo. I would recommend him to everyone who is looking for a high quality service.
On the first day of our stay in Sao Paulo we had a tour with Lucas to see the highlights of the city in 5 hours. Lucas showed us all the points of interest by asking our preferences. He was very flexible, knowledgeable and polite. He always tries to make you feel comfortable during the trip. He brought us umbrellas as it was supposed to be a rainy day, he even brought a car seat with him for our little daughter! Just by listening to him telling you the history of the city or the works of the graffiti artists, you can understand that he is passionate about his job and tries to do it in the best way possible. We have done many tours in many parts of the world and we can easily say that Lucas impressed us. We cannot recommend him more.
One of the best tours I’ve ever taken and one of the best guides I’ve ever had! A personalized and unique approach that makes a megacity like São Paulo easy to navigate, thanks to detailed, varied, and always interesting explanations across several areas: historical, cultural, and gastronomic. He also provides great advice on where tourists can safely go, along with approximate distances from one place to another. In short, he’s passionate about his city and eager to share the beauty it has to offer. To top it all off, the price is more than fair for the quality of service, the safety and cleanliness of the vehicle, punctuality, friendliness, and politeness.

Lucas is a thoughtful, intelligent and helpful tour guide. He took us to the best places and gave us an authentic version of São Paulo. Our trip was better because of Lucas.
