Wonderful Experience

DavidM_G, Aug 2023

Wonderful tour, Neto was a great guide that was very knowledgeable and accommodating. A very relaxed and lovely artistic area.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

Thank you for your nice words, we hope see this great family again! Regards.

Wonderful way to spend the morning

Khea_B, Jul 2023

I had a wonderful time exploring Embu. Neto, my guide, took me on a short tour of São Paulo on our way to the town and shared the history and highlights of the city. He was patient as I shopped and provided guidance on the best Brazilian products to try. Neto provided me insights into Brazilian culture and made sure I had an enjoyable experience.

Thank you very much for your very kind review, we are always here for you if you need any help. Regards

Don't go during the week

MARCIA_W, Jul 2023

This could have been a great trip. Take my advice, and don't do it during the week like we did. Nothing was open and traffic was so bad, it left us with about an hour there. We were threatened with additional fees if we didn't leave lunch, even though we arrived to Embu late and the only open restaurant was quite slow. I do recommend this trip, just not how we did it.

Response from Host, Jul 2023

Good morning Ms Marcia, it is a pity that your city tour was disappointing, we always let you know that Embu das Artes is a city famous for its arts fair on weekends, talking to our guide, he explained to us that he suggested 2 restaurants for you (the one you saw at the entrance to the city and the German restaurant) and you chose, but the information that it is the only open restaurant is not exactly accurate, there must be at least 40 options, when our guide saw that you spent more than 2 hours in the restaurant, he is instructed to say that the schedule is tight, and that if necessary we are available to stay longer (but, logically, there is a cost to work more than the contracted time) and even so he ended up staying because of the I transit almost 6 hours, and the contract was 4 hours, and we don't charge you any extra. As for the traffic, there was a demonstration on Av Paulista and our guide actually informed us that there was unusual traffic that day on the way back to São Paulo. Again we apologize for what happened, and we will always keep informing you that Embu is really more interesting on weekends. We hope someday to have the opportunity to change your bad impression of our small company that always strives to please all customers, I hope that at least you were satisfied at this point. Regards.

Outstanding

I very much enjoyed my private tour of Embu das Artes. Nelio was my guide. He is very knowledgeable of the local history and the history of Sao Paulo. He was willing to adjust the tour accordingly to my expectations. It was a very fun day!

Sorprendente lugar en el que recrearse con la artesanía y sus coloridas tiendas

ANA_R, Apr 2023

Acceso al interior de la antigua iglesia de los Jesuitas, donde se pueden observar imágenes talladas en madera, que representan pasajes biblícos, sin olvidar la reminiscencia del pasado al observar las antiguas habitaciones de los Jesuitas, así como los patios interiores

Response from Host, May 2023
