Amazing and memorable trip

Malcolm_A, May 2024
Our tour guide Mauricio was very splendid in explaining the history of the different areas and was also eager to learn from which countries we were from. We first visited the coffee house in Santos, then paragliding in Sao Vicente and finally having lunch and enjoying the beach in Guaruja. He did not rush the trip, but let us enjoy each and every bit of it. Our most memorable part of the trip was the paragliding which he convinced us to do since it was our first time. We were very content with this unforgettable experience and would definitely do it again! The sunset at Guaruja was amazing and remarkable!

Enjoyable trip to Santos, Sao Vicente, and Guaruja

This day trip from Sao Paulo helped us better understand the coffee history of Santos and we also enjoyed spending time on the beaches. The cable car ride in Sao Vicente provided a glimpse of stunning scenery. Our guide, Maurico, was excellent.

Must do

Lav_P, Dec 2023
The things which made the trip nice was a small group, flexibility shown by the guide Mauricio (not sure of spelling), safe driving by the driver and good overview of the sights as highlighted in the description. Well worth the money for the amount of sites you get to see.

Bday trip

Vianka_T, Oct 2023
It was a nice experience, the weather was ugly But we definitely enjoyed it. The views was amazing and so was our tour guide

Our tour guide, Mauricio...

Jam_R, Oct 2023
Our tour guide, Mauricio was amazing! Extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area, and really looked after our diverse group.

VERY DISAPPOINTING!!!

Denice_J, Jun 2023
Our guide Mauricio was amazing and I would recomend him for any trip in são paulo. This review is directed at the company that arrange this trip Vida energia. As it is called a beach trip but we were very disapointed and would never recommend this trip if you want a day to enjoy the beach. It says in the description that we have 3 hours on the beach. We got picked up at 09 in the morning. Spent most of the hours seing other things as the coffe museum and santos (we didn't see the pele museum either) and arrived at the beach at 16:00 in the afternoon when the sun was going down and then we only had 1 hours and 20 min at a beach with no sun. This was not at all what we paid so much money for to after find out you can just take and uber from the city directly to the beach for about 200 RL . Don't take this trip, we just want our money back as the informations don't live up to the actually trip and the other people on the tour agreed ans felt the same way. A note again to the guide he was amazing and had a great energy, nothing bad goes to the guide, as he is just doing his job.

Hello Traveller! We appreciate your feedback and the compliments to Maurício in particular. All activities scheduled on the tour are carried out as described. It is the responsibility of the guide to follow the itinerary and respect the schedules, the agency cannot be there to carry out the tour and pays the guide precisely to do so. Tourism is an outdoor activity and is subject to external elements such as heavy traffic, wait at attractions, bad weather, etc. That's why the guide has to be attentive to provide the best experience. We will not refund, but if you want to participate in this same tour at another time, you are already invited. We look forward to seeing you at the next opportunity! Regards, VIDA & ENERGIA TEAM

Fun and Adventure in Santos

Evelyn_D, Apr 2023
My daughter and I took this day Beaches Tour from Sao Paulo just to kill some time and see something different, outside of the trips we already had planned to Rio and Iguazu Falls. However, much to our satisfaction, the trip to Santos was AMAZING, and the tour guide Mauricio really made this trip come alive. We were in a jeep with a brother/sister-in-law group who was friendly and active. We also had another small group in another jeep join us. We all got along great, and we had fun together. First, we arrived in Santos, visited a coffee museum of some sorts and then went on the tram tour. The tram tour was fun, and it went around the historic part of the city in just 20 minutes. From there, we visited the Pele Museum which is right in front of the tram/train station. Awesome museum! From there was the best part of the day, as we drove to the beach, took the lift chair to the top of the mountain (gorgeous views), and then we went parasailing from the top of the mountain back down to the beach. Parasailing is an optional part of the tour, but at only about $100 USD per person, it is a great deal, and it's SO MUCH FUN! The rest of the tour after that included boarding a car ferry to Guaruja, enjoying an amazing lunch, and then strolling on the beach before getting back in the Jeep to head back to Sao Paulo. Thank you to Mauricio for allowing us to have a great time in Santos!

A waste of time

Stacy_H, Dec 2020
Not exactly what we expected. We were picked up in a very small jeep with two other people on the tour. The drive was not comfortable and no water or refreshments provided. We spent most of the time riding with no santerizer provided by the tour guide at all.

Response from Host, May 2021

Hi Stacy! Thanks for sharing your experience. We understand your opinion about the vehicle. But, unfortunately in São Paulo it is not allowed to drive vans or buses along the beaches. In relation to the stops all have drinks and toilets available, but we will advise the tour guide to be more attentive to these details. We are attentive to your advice and look forward to seeing you on your next trip to São Paulo. Waste of time is not giving us the opportunity to live new experiences... live this journey called LIFE! Best Regards! VIDA & ENERGIA TEAM

Carlos_D, Mar 2018
Mauricio was a great guide for our day trip out of the city, visiting beach towns, enjoying lunch at a local restaurant he recommended, and spending sufficient time on the beach, enjoying the warm waters. I highly recommend this tour as a nice change from the busy city of Sao Paulo to see the countryside and mountains we crossed, and the wonderful shore.
