Dennis was absolutely great. He was very well informed about ways to get faster to our destination. And traveling with him was like traveling with a best friend or a family member. 100% recommended!!!!!!!

Hello my name is Denis and I was born in Sao Paulo. I am an official tour guide for Brazil (Ministerio do Turismo License), and I have a degree in International Relations, Organic Agriculture and I studied English in Australia. I am a very flexible person, and always do my best to help my guests in their expectations. I like Arts, Culture, Nature, and I am a musician in my free time. I have worked as a tour guide for the last 25 years in Sao Paulo and surroundings, and I love my job! Sao Paulo is the biggest city in the entire American continent and , to see it in a short time, you need someone that knows well the city, to select the interesting attractions and save time. There are many attractions in Sao Paulo, like museums, historical buildings, nice archtecture, beautiful neighborhoods, Market, street art, central park, churchs, shopping streets, wonderful restaurants, and a great cultural diversity. Every tour I make is a different new experience, because the city is different day by day, and the group is a new one every time. My favorite tours are "Ilhabela" , one of the most beautiful islands in Brazil, with beautiful beaches and waterfalls surrounded by the rainforest, and the hiking tours, where I can show the visitor everything about the rainforest. I was a boy scout as a kid, so I love Nature. Sao Paulo is surrounded by that Rainforest, and the beaches on Sao Paulo's coast are about 70 Kilometers away from the city. We also have beautiful mountain places to visit nearby, like the town of Campos do Jordao, that has a quite european style and feelling of the brazilian mountains. My availability changes very quickly normally, so please don't take too long to decide making a booking with me, for not loosing the date.

We had a great day tour with Denis to Ihlabela. The drive down to the coast from Sao Paulo is quite spectacular. Denis picked us up from our hotel and could not do enough to make us comfortable. When the ferry queue for cars was backed up for miles he improvised to get us on to the island in double-quick time and we had a lot of fun riding bikes along the coastline. We stopped for a meal along the way & the seafood was really great quality, delicious octopus and calamari - perhaps the best we've ever had.

The countryside is so beautiful! The trip TO Ilhabela was just as fabulous as the little island itself! We used the trip as a way to get to our hotel in Toque-Toque and were delighted that we did. Thank you Denis for a fabulous excursion!

It was an amazing day out of the city and a great breath of fresh air together with Denis. He is a superb example of the tour guide. He is a pleasant person as well. Thank you and welcome to Estonia, Denis!

We had Denis as tour guide in Ilhabela, Brazil on Feb 5,2016 and we highly recommend him. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and a good sense of humour! Very accommodating of our requests, too. Highly recommended as a tour guide.

My husband's and my visit to Ilhabela with our guide Denis was delightful. He was prompt, and we enjoyed his commentary about the area as he drove. His English is excellent, and he was fun and attentive to our wishes. He figured out that we like nature, and he took us to a beach to wade, for a hike to three waterfalls through dramatic terrain, and for a stop at a farm where I could bird a bit. We also stopped to relax and have a cup of coffee and a good meal. We highly recommend this trip with Denis.
