About this activity

Explore São Paulo's transformation from a modest colonial settlement into the Southern Hemisphere's largest metropolis aboard lovingly restored classic automobiles from the 1930s. This 5-hour themed tour traces the city's architectural and cultural milestones while experiencing Brazil's golden age of automotive design.

Get to understand the amazing historic process of São Paulo that in 465 years of existence, marked by relative inexpressiveness for more than three centuries, has become the largest city in the Southern hemisphere. This is a themed tour taken in a restored Classic Car such as the “Packard 1938”, "Chevrolet 1939" or the "Oldsmobile 1935". 

Explore some of the most historical city sites such as Pátio do Colégio, Sé Cathedral, Tea Viaduct, Luz Train Station, Republic Square, Higienópolis, to finish it up at a coffee shop on the Top Deck of one of the most spectacular viewpoints of a building on Paulista ave.
