About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- bharri230 contributionsTasty tour and lots of funWe had an amazing experience on the tour! Giuliano was incredibly knowledgeable and gave us fascinating insights into the diverse history of Brazil. We also got to enjoy a delicious variety of Asian cuisine, which added a unique flavor to the day. We were in town for the Eagles vs. Packers football game, and this tour was the perfect complement to our trip. Highly recommend!Written 6 September 2024
- jogW3605XI0 contributionsFun Facts with GiulianoThank you Giuliano for the amazing tour! It was insightful, interactive, and comfortable through out the experience. If you book for the street food experience, come hungry, you'll try some of the most amazing food that is in the area!Written 1 March 2024
- X4991FQjenc0 contributionsCome on an empty stomach!Our guide, Giuliano, was great! We met at an easy to find location in Japan Town and started our gastronomic tour, starting off with a hearts of palm pastel and sugar cane juice to was it down. Ducting into a small Japanese food store, Giuliano selected each of us a hand sushi triangle to consume in the small Japanese garden later. Next we strolled through the bustling streets and walked into a empanada cafe and had an outstanding “saltena” empanada. That empanada was one of the best I’ve ever had! We walked into an older, quieter area and admired old architecture of the middle class. It was a hot day, so I was thankful to end the tour at Kazu Cake, where we enjoyed a beverage and (yes more food) a delicious dessert called Choux au craquelin / xi-cream cake! It was a fantastic food tour and you won’t be disappointed!Written 8 February 2024
- oscarjesco0 contributionsGreat tour!We had an incredible time with Giuliano! Great food, good people and lots of laughs. He is very knowledgeable!Written 13 November 2023
- Danielle B0 contributionsExcellent tourGiuliano was a great tour guide. He was very informative and a great speaker. We went on a driving tour and we learned a lot more information through this tour. He also made many good suggestions for what we should do and see after the tour. Some food was very delicious and some of it pushed us out of our comfort zone but we were totally open to it. It was not just Japanese food but also some Brazilian food too. Would definitely recommend to all tourists.Written 7 November 2023
- Anna D0 contributionsFun, knowledgeable, great for solo travellers looking to join othersGiuliano gave a brilliant tour of Liberdade, explaining the areas cultural heritage. We saw, and ate in, places I wouldn’t have found on my own. I loved the group nature of the tour as it’s perfect for solo travellers looking to join others. Giuliano also had great tips for where else to visit (and eat! 🙂) in São Paulo. I’ll definitely be booking another one of his tours next time I’m in town. Highly recommend!Written 22 October 2023
- paulocX1002OO0 contributionsFun, informative and deliciousHad a great time - Giuliano was very knowledgeable, fun and considerate. With each food item he gave some history, and he also showed some great sights with their own history Also gave us helpful tips for the rest of our stay Highly recommendedWritten 16 October 2023
- yvesn8890 contributionsCame Hungry and Left Full From Great Food and KnowledgeHad a blast on the food tour with Giuliano. I was amazed by his knowledge of the city and the country as a whole. Got to really explore the Liberade neighborhood and eat some amazing food along the way, so make sure you come with an empty stomach. Highly recommendWritten 16 October 2023
- cmurray750 contributionsExcellent walking tour!It's obvious why there are so many excellent reviews. I had such a good time walking through Liberdade with Giuliano. He is passionate and knowledgeable about this wonderful city. Highly recommended if you want to see a local view and eat some yummy food.Written 8 October 2023
- StephanieLK820 contributionsIf you want a real taste of Liberdade, do this tour!We loved this tour. Our guide Giuliano was charming and funny and full of stories and amusing anecdotes about this fascinating district. He was so considerate to welcome us with a bottle of water and line up for all the wonderful food we got to sample. Best of all was the quaint road off the busy market where we found relief from the crowd and some unexpected beauty – as well as the sweet treat at the end. It was so good, I dream about it. We left the tour absolutely stuffed and totally happy for the time spent. Do yourself a favour and book this tour, it's an absolute bargain for such a fun and fulfilling couple of hours.Written 1 September 2023
- RoadWarrior17760 contributionsMust do afternoon in Sao PauloCouldn't have imagined a better afternoon in Liberdade. The food was great, the tour was the right length, and we learned about how different cultures have contributed to the food scene in Sao Paulo. Guide was knowledgeable and hilarious.Written 28 August 2023
- mticeland0 contributionsBest food tourLove this food tour. Our guide, Giuliano, was very knowledgeable and all the food and drinks during the tour were amazing.Written 21 May 2023
- tammystastings0 contributionsMust-do tour if you love food and historyThis tour was wonderful and really exceeded my expectations. Not only was the food great, but Giuliano put it in context with great stories about the history of the area and its people. He also had great recommendations for other things to see and do in Sao Paulo, including telling me where to go to get a Cachaca tasting. If you like food and history and secret passageways to hidden streets of beauty, then this is a must-do tour!Written 13 March 2023
- Seaside733410 contributionsHalf day private tourEverything I read about Giuliano in the reviews was right on point. Had a wonderful day with him - learned so much, ate/drank well, and had a lot of fun! As a woman travelling alone, I was a tiny bit apprehensive leading into this - but within seconds I felt comfortable. It really was like hanging out with a friend. Communication and planning beforehand was easy and professional. Giuliano incorporated my top picks into the tour, and added in other great gems - including places that aren’t on the tourist map. That was the best part! He also shared suggestions for my next day in the city. I especially appreciated that he ensured I reached my hotel safely. Don’t think twice about booking a tour with Giuliano!!Written 13 March 2023
- ekrebs140 contributionsGreat way to explore Bom RetiroI don't normally eat breakfast but am always down to learn about food so I signed up for this tour. I really enjoyed it because it took me to a part of the city I never would have gone to on my own and I learned a lot about the history of the neighborhood. Giuliano was a great guide and I would definitely go on another tour with him. He also gave me suggestions for other things to do on my trip. Great tour!Written 21 February 2023

A best decision to go on a walking tour with Guiliano. He's very professional yet personable and genuine. He's very knowledgeable not just about SP but also of Europe, often tying the histories together. It's clear he has much to share. I learnt much about the history of SP and Brazil, its culture, migration, economics. The tour covered a little of everything but enough to give a good overview for someone new to the city. The walk ended at a perfect location with plenty of options for food, sightseeing and the subway.
As a solo female traveller, Guiliano put me at east and explained the dynamics of the city. Although as a tourist, I'd never be able to move around like a local but his explanations helped me to immerse and more fully appreciate the city. I'd highly recommend anyone visiting SP to go on this tour.

I booked this tour as a birthday gift for my friend who was visiting São Paulo. According to my friend, this was one of the best tour he's ever been to. Giuliano was very kind and took him to several unseen parts in the city that he could'nt have visited on his own. Giuliano briefed him about politics, geography, architecture, lifestyle, food, music, history, art etc. during the whole tour making the whole Experience so much better than just a walking tour. I would myself take this Experience when I am in Brazil one day. 5 Stars. Go For It. Thank you Giuliano.

Our private walking tour with Giuliano (Concrete Jungles) was excellent! Giuliano took us around the historic district, giving us lots of interesting history and information, as well as taking us inside several of the historic buildings. He also shared interesting cultural info about Sao Paulo and Brazil. Giuliano's English is excellent.

It was a pleasure to show my hometown to my Indian boyfriend during such amazing walking tour. I’ve learned a lot of new things about my city and saw it from another angle. My boyfriend loved everything as well. Giuliano was very kind, knowledgeable and spoke very good English. We highly recommend this tour!

We had a great walking tour with Giuliano! His knowledge of Sao Paulo and the surrounding area was excellent. We were able to ask many questions and get great insight on the things that were interesting to us. He even texted me back the next day to correct a fact that he gave us. I would highly recommend taking this tour. Thanks for a great visit.

I took the graffiti tour in Sou Paulo with Giulano. Honestly it was probably the best tour i've been. We went to some parts in the city that if it wouldn't for the tour I would have not visited. Not turistic zones but with a lot to learn and lot of history behind. Also Giulano knows about politics, geography, arquitecture so the whole tour we chat about brasil and sao paulo that was really cool to understand the culture better. I would definitly recommend to take this tour if the purpose is to understand the paulista lifestyle.

The walking tour with Giuliano was one of the highlights of my Sao Paulo trip. Giuliano adds context and perspective to the tour using his mastery of the history and culture of Sao Paulo and Brazil. You end up not only seeing the sights but get a slice of their history, all delivered in a most interesting style.
If you are reading this review to decide whether to take the walking tour or not, my recommendation - book it now unhesitatingly!

Olá ! Estarei em SP a partir do dia 03/2 e gostaria de saber se o seu city possui personagens que interagem no centro histórico, interagindo com o público. Lhe pergunto isso pois, certa vez fiz um assim e gostei muito. Dessa vez estou indo com uma pessoa que nunca fez esse passeio, embora já conheça SP. Gostaria que vc me falasse um pouco mais sobre esse passeio.
Written 20 January 2020
Bom dia Adriana! Desculpa responder so agora mas acabei de ver sua pergunta! Sinceramente não entendi exatamente o que voce entende. O meu é um passeio histórico no centro da cidade onde não temos personagens interagindo nem atuações de pantomima :) Se precisar de mais informações te convido a ler atentamente a pagina de descrição e não hesite em entrar em contato comigo novamente, serei feliz em lhe ajudar em tudo que eu possa :)
