I was the only person who took the bike tour this day, so it was like a personal tour! Max was excellent— extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this experience for a fun and active way to learn a lot about the history of São Paulo! Thank you again, max! :)

The tour guides are really friendly and explained what stops and historical sites we were going to visit. Before we began the tour we tested the bikes. After we tested the bikes, the tour began. The bike ride was amazing and not difficult at all. There were a few up hills but they were easy to get up. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND doing this tour because you cover a huge area of the city. The guides know a lot of history about São Paulo. I also suggest going in the morning when it is a bit cooler. But I had an amazing time and it was so much fun.
