We had an amazing bike tour with Pedro. Sao paolo is perfect to explore by bike and Pedro had a wealth of information and was happy to answer all our questions. I would definitely recommend this tour to others and it was a highlight of our time in sao paolo.

    So glad I did this. Impossible to walk Sao Paulo. Pedro my guide was brilliant. Great bloke, passionate and knowledgeable. Small cafe at pick reminded me of Melbourne style. Great vibe and character. I can’t rcommend highly enough. Bike lanes much of the time. Bikes in good order. Just do it if you are in Sao Paulo you won’t regret it. Especially if you don’t have a lot of time. 3 hours of fun, discovery and excercise.

    A great tour! 🚲

    I️ had an amazing bike tour with Arthur! He started the tour off sharing some history of São Paulo, and about some of the sights we’d see today. He provided us each with a bike, helmet, and poncho, and pointed out spots for photos. He showed us some amazing graffiti around the city, and places to visit! He took us through Ave Paulista, a mall, by a block party, to Catedral da Se, and to Liberdade for ice cream. It was a pleasure cycling with Arthur, and getting to learn about São Paulo from a local. I’d love to book a tour with Arthur again in the future!

    Conrad_L, Dec 2025
    Enjoyed the experience with my 17yr old daughter. Very informative tour. History & cultural elements presented. Was a hot and humid day. The ride can be a bit demanding. Should be fairly fit and competent on a bicycle. A bell would be beneficial to alert pedestrians.

    Cycling is a great way to orient to S.P.

    Cynthia_O, Nov 2025
    Really enjoyed learning about the history of Sao Paulo by biking to quite a few attractions. Caught a bit of music at stops at the Teatro and a monastery and loved riding the bike lane on Paulista Ave. Pedro was flexible and knowledgeable, sharing both the good and bad of his city. And when it downpoured toward the end, he guided us to the subway with our bikes to finish the tour!

    Outstanding Bike Tour Experience

    Bike tour with Pedro was amazing! So much fun and I saw things that I wouldn’t have found anyways. No point did I feel unsafe or out of place. 10/10 would recommend.

    Don’t be deceived by the density of Sao Paolo - great way to explore Sao Paolo

    Gloria_R, Aug 2025
    Exploring the different neighborhoods of Sao Paolo is a great way to learn the stories of Brazil. The bike routes taken were safe. The tree canopy was a surprise and delight.

    Great bike tour-perfect way to learn about the city.

    Kitty_F, Jul 2025
    Fantastic overview of São Paulo. Biking was a super fun way to experience the city. Bike lanes felt safe and way more fun than going by bus or car. Lucas was fun and a terrific guide and left us well informed about the city. Perfect 3 hour tour.

    No better way to see the city than on a bike! You rally get a flavour for the people and the places. Felt super safe and really looked after as Pedro and Sebastian guided our group through the busy streets and crazy crossings! And shared so much information not just about the touristic places but also life in São Paulo. Highly recommend

    Great tour! Pedro was awesome!

    Sinara_A, Apr 2025
    The tour was great. I got to see many places and got to take great photos. Pedro, the tour guide, was very nice and knowledgeable. He even took us to eat a delicious lunch at a local place after the tour. We rode in bike lanes most of the time and felt safe. Awesome!

    The best part of this tour was riding through the busy streets of SP and getting a history lesson and cool facts at each of the spots. My tour guide was Lucas and he was very knowledgeable and friendly.

    Awesome experience, great workout, definitely worth it if you like biking and exploring. It's making me write more words to submit.

    Great guide, interesting sites.

    Keith_H, Jan 2025
    Our guide, Lucas, was extremely knowledgeable and personable. And he assessed our interests and was able to tailor some of his talks about history and culture to our interests. He could also make adjustments on the fly. We got some heavy rain in the trip, but the rain jackets were adequate, so if it starts raining, don't automatically decide to end the trip. The sites and stops were very well planned.

    The guide was excellent....

    Juliana was a great guide. She was very informative and she showed us some great sites in São Paulo.

    Nice!

    Rik_S, Sep 2024
    During the evening less traffic. Nice guide, he knows a lot. Likes to tell, about the city, history and life.

    Excellent Tour by Night!

    Jonathan_F, Sep 2024
    I had an excellent tour with Arthur. It was great to learn more about the downtown area, it's history and historic buildings. It was unique experience to do it at night - perhaps not for everyone, but I enjoyed it! Thanks Arthur

    Completely Delightful Afternoon

    Sheila_L, Sep 2024
    If you want São Paulo history, culture, architecture, food and drink in an active but manageable way: sign up now! Juliana was a total delight. Speaks English with precision, is flexible, fun and charming!!! One of the best bike tours we’ve taken anywhere around the world.

    Amazing experience

    Joshua_A, Sep 2024
    Fantastic experience exploring downtown Sao Pauolo with Arther. Took us down some very cool street, his local knowledge was astonishing.

    Bike around SP

    Alessandra_A, Jul 2024
    Excellent half a day bike tour around the city of SP. Juliana was my guide, she was very knowledgeable, kind and fun. A pleasure to talk to for the ~4 hours we ride. Lot to see, time to enjoy, definitely worth! Will recommend!

    Great value and way to spend part of your trip!

    Owen_J, Jun 2024
    Arthur was a fantastic guide. I learned a lot and it was a great way to orient into the city. Highly recommend!

    Incredible bike tour rich in history and culture of Sau Paulo!

    Melissa_S, May 2024
    I highly recommend the secrets of Sau Paulo bike tour to learn about the history and current state of one of the cities financial center. My guide Jefferson or J’ was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate and fun. Don’t miss this tour if you want a great experience and rich learning.

    Good but overpriced.

    Nigel_J, May 2024
    Overall it was a good experience but not worth the $132.92 CAD that I paid for the 3 hour private (I was the only guest) bike tour. It was a pleasure to meet Lucas however, and he did a nice job showing me around some of the interesting sights and was very informative. I’ve been on much better and longer experiences for this price mark.
