About me: I have graduated in Social Communication at Pontifícia Universidade Católica Rio de Janeiro and Theater by Casa de Artes de Laranjeiras. For ten years I have been working for several tourism companies in the cities of São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, as a Private Guide. I have also acted as a private translator of English and Spanish in business meetings, fairs, and events. Previously I have also worked in the hospitality industry for eleven years as Operations Manager at Holiday Inn World Wide (now InterContinental Hotels Group) and Utell International, both in call centers. I have lived in the United States for two years where I have studied at Camarillo High School and at Ventura City College. My knowledge of Arts, Architecture, and History of São Paulo was acquired over the years for having a family related to art and museums, from my studies in those institutions and by self-learning. About the tours: The tours will demonstrate a quick and objective panorama of the best or most significant places, monuments and attractions of São Paulo. You will get a local look not only on the physical architectural aspect, but you will understand its evolution, dynamics, high points, discrepancies and differences. At the end of the tour you will feel like you are already part of the city! Licensed guide accredited by the Tourism Ministry - CADASTUR I do not have any restrictions in regard to my guiding, I can offer a full range of experiences

Overview of your Sao Paulo tour

The tour is focused in the local culture. Estevao is the artist builder of the house, even though he does not know how to write and read and had never heard of Gaudi, he built his house with a resemblance of Gaudi's work. We go inside Estevao's Gaudi Style house, totally built with recycled art objects. The house has three floors and is inside the biggest favela in Sao Paulo, Paraisópolis, over one hundred thousand people live there. It is impressive by the amount of details within the construction of the house, and for the greatness of the favela. Berbela is another local artist producing pieces with recycled motorcicles pieces You should wear comfortable pants or bermudas.
