Beautiful view of São Paulo

Monica guided us on a lovely hike up through the Atlantic forest to the view over the city. It was amazing to see how far the city extends in every direction. Monica packed many local snacks for us to try. The hike was steep in some parts but the views were amazing.

Fantastic tour!

Our tour of São Paulo was absolutely excellent, and a huge part of that was our incredible guide, Bruno Ferrari. He was friendly, welcoming, and exceptionally knowledgeable about the city’s history, culture, architecture, and neighborhoods. Bruno went above and beyond throughout the day, tailoring the tour to our interests, answering every question with enthusiasm, and making sure we had a memorable experience. His passion for São Paulo was contagious. Our driver, Renaldo, was equally fantastic. He was professional, courteous, and navigated the city with ease, making the tour comfortable and stress-free.

I traveled solo and was a...

I traveled solo and was a bit stressed about it, so decided to book a tour to see São Paulo. My guide, Giuliano, made this tour an absolutely amazing experience. There were only three of us, and we didn’t know each other beforehand, and yet the whole thing felt very relaxed and friendly. So often guided tours can feel boring or overloaded with unnecessary facts, numbers, and dates, but this was completely different. Instead, it felt like taking a walk with a very intelligent friend. I’m truly grateful for such a memorable experience.

Wonderful food tour and guide!

Our guide, Giuliano, was wonderful. It was raining quite hard at the start time of our tour, making it difficult for some people to get there on time, but Giuliano patiently waited before starting the tour. It was interesting hearing about the history of Japanese in Sao Paulo, and all of the food we sampled was delicious.

Personalized safe delightful tour

Fantastic! Fabio our guide is a native of SP and gave us a great overview of the city. His English was great and we thoroughly enjoyed his company. He is am experienced guide in his native town and adapted the tour according to our interests and limited time. The Mercado is a must see! The building's architecture is beautifully enhanced by the historical stained glass panels. The produce and products are of superior quality. Having Fabio help us navigate thru the many vendors was extremely helpful. Batemans Alley was also another favorite of ours. Colorful vibrant murals, delightful street artists in a very well patrolled area allowed us to thoroughly enjoy our visit. Having an experienced and safe driver made all the difference. Traffic is crazy!

We would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting a deeper, more personalized connection to the city.
