Roberto, my guide, was so kind and knowledgeable. He made the tour so interesting, seamless, and was willing to tailor the sights or subject matter to anything I wanted. We tried several traditional breakfast, lunch, and drink options. It was nice to sit down for these breaks as well.
If you like Asian food, manga or the characters of it, this is the place. With 3 food stops, however, a bit short as a food tour. For this you just get a little tour through anime and manga stores. Our guide was a bit bugged and didn't really lead us to spots but rather asked if we wanted to eat here when we passed restaurants. However, he was very nice and told us a lot about the immigrants from China, Korea and Japan.

Great experience. Arthur is a great guide, very knowledgeable about São Paulo, Brazil and many countries he visited before. I enjoyed more than 3 hours of very different impressions of SP. Arthur guided us to various art and graffiti places, we cycled Paulista Avenue and through SP biggest park. I will come back to do another tour under his guidance. Arthur, thank you so much.
