Doris was an amazing tour guide She took us on a scenic trip with stops allowing us to capture photos and absorb it all
Wonderful morning experiencing Sao Paulo with with Danillo. Very informed and personable, he was an incredible guide who listened as well as narrated and made sure we were engaged at each step. Be prepared, though, to pay for everything eaten or consumed. That was a surprise given the tour cost. We'd book with Danillo again.
Carlos was a wonderful guide and super knowledgeable about everything in the city. We spent a nice few hours going around the city and learning a lot about the history and architecture. Would highly recommend especially for first timers to SAO.
Had an excellent 5 hour tour with Danilo with a light lunch in between. Danilo was very pleasant, knowledgeable about Brazilian history and delivered the bang for the buck.
We had a wonderful experience with Alexander as our tour guide in São Paulo! He was extremely informative, helpful, and knowledgeable about the city. He shared so many interesting facts and insights about São Paulo, its history, culture, and local life that made the tour even more enjoyable. Alexander was friendly, patient, and made sure we felt comfortable throughout the entire tour. He was also happy to answer all of our questions and went above and beyond to make our experience special. We learned so much and got to see São Paulo from a local’s perspective. We truly enjoyed our time with Alexander and would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting São Paulo. Thank you, Alexander, for helping make our trip so memorable! 🇧🇷
My two colleagues and I had an incredible private tour with Gustavo. Covering a city as massive as São Paulo in 5 hours sounds tough, but Gustavo made it look easy—we felt like we got to see everything! He is exceptionally knowledgeable about the city's history and culture, and super flexible with adapting the route to our group's pace. Highly recommend booking a tour with him if you want an efficient, top-tier overview of the city.
Carlos it was an excellent guy who was attentive and managed the private tour to the pace that I could accommodate. His knowledge and information was precise, relevant and fun. I felt safe and enjoyed as a solo traveller. The planning before during and after from the tour group was also very attentive and excellent making it all very seamless.
Bruno was an excellent tour guide. Highly recommend for a day in Sao Paulo to learn more about the history.
We had a quick stop over at São Paulo and the private city 5-hour tour, was an excellent option. Our guide, Danilo, was promptly and fluent in English. We actually didn't realise that São Paulo was basically only Portugese. Danilo is well-informed and very passionate about his country, home city and heritage. Traffic was crazy, but Danilo showed us important landmarks and the layout of the city. Will definitely recommend!
this is a good, brief tour of Sao Paulo if you don't have a lot of time. the tour guide, Deborah was excellent.
Totally worth experience when you have short time and wanna have some feel about city. Very friendly and knowledgeable guid and worth to try
Last minute booking and Carlos did not disappoint. Friendly and interesting, great way to see São Paulo
Danilo gave me full São Paulo experience
Had an awesome time with the guide. We drove around city and I learn so much about the city and the history. Great guide I recommend.
We had a very pleasant tour with our great guide Gustavo. Spoke really great English and new not only a lot about São Paulo, but also about the history and different regions & dynamics of Brazil. Visiting the historical highlights of the city and the market for a good lunch. Pick up and drop off were as planned and went very smooth. Absolutely a recommendation for foreigners wanting to explore the city with a great guide
My family’s experience with Danilo was incredible. He tailored the whole trip to what they wanted and he was so knowledgeable. He was amazing with my son who is neurodiverse and made sure everyone had fun and felt safe the whole time!! We love São Paulo and Danilo!!!
Our guide, Ilan, was simply amazing. He picked us in a few minutes early before our scheduled departure from our hotel. He asked us what we would want to see and visit. He then drafted an amazing tour of the city, including the stadium, the artistic center, a grocery store for exotic fruit, a chocolate place, they’re very significant monuments, including churches, cultures, museum, and the highlight of the trip, which was the highest point of the city where wesaw sunset. I couldn’t recommend him more. He is simply outstanding and exceptional and professional.
It was a great pleasure to visit São Paulo with Danilo. His knowledge of the city was outstanding, and he shared so many interesting facts and local insights that made the tour both enjoyable and informative. He was friendly, professional, and made sure we had a fantastic experience from start to finish. I highly recommend Danilo to anyone looking to discover the real São Paulo with a knowledgeable and passionate guide!
Fantastic guide and fun guide
Before our tour, São Paulo felt like a big and somewhat intimidating city. After spending five hours with our outstanding guide Danilo, we left with a completely different impression. He transformed the city into a place full of history, character, charming neighborhoods, and welcoming people—and made us want to come back and explore even more. With more than 20 years of guiding experience, he also knew all the hidden gems and local connections that gave the tour a much more personal feel than a typical sightseeing excursion. Throughout the day we felt genuinely well looked after. The vehicle was comfortable, the pace was perfect, and conversation flowed easily. Danilo was personable, professional, and clearly passionate about sharing his city. If you're visiting São Paulo, I can't recommend this tour highly enough. You'll come away with a much deeper appreciation for São Paulo and memories that will last long after your visit. Five stars without hesitation!
Loved this private tour. Mauro was full of historical knowledge and gave great recommendations. Love that he took us to places he likes so we could enjoy some of the local culture.
Our driver and guide Carlos was amazing. He was friendly , funny and really knowledgeable about the city. He tailored the tour to our needs and ensured we had plenty of time to take in everything. He explained everything in depth. I would highly recommend this tour
We really enjoyed our tour of São Paulo! Carlos was professional, knowledgeable and very friendly! He spoke Portuguese, Spanish and English and knew just where to take us for a great Brazilian experience! Highly recommend!
Danilo valisserra was the best. Very intelligent and a great guide
Great tour to do when you dont have alot of time in Sao Paulo to see the major attractions, and the tour guide Bruno was excellent. Very well knowledged, spoke english well and so passionate about what he does. Excellent tour and would highly recommend.
We had one free day at São Paulo after an Congress and they manage to show us everything in one day. Recommended
Excellent experience. Our guide Bruno made everything in the tour easy and profitable given that we had little time. Will recommend this to anyone visiting Sāo Paulo
Nice overview of San Paulo with our guide Danilo who we highly recommend. Having lived here most of his life, everywhere we went was met with a friend who took care of us like we were family. Especially enjoyed our visit to the city market and the artistic district.
You really get a great feel for the city with this tour and since it’s private it’s flexible to make any adjustments as needed.
It is very hard to try and capture the feeling of a place in a few hours, but our guides did an excellent job of selecting locations and activities that did just that. In an afternoon, we visited and learned about historical landmarks, locations with impressive views and experienced a part of the local art scene. We had a chance to sample some excellent local food and meet some of the artists, all with the assistance of our friendly and knowledgeable guide. And of course, the pick-up and drop-off at the airport made this infinitely convenient.
Thoughly pleased with the tour. Alex was great. He provided us with history delivered with charm. Thank you Alex.
Carlos was very informative and professional. He went at the perfect pace
Very knowledgeable, patient, professional and accommodating. Mindful of physical limitations and helpful
Great trip…lots to see. The Batman Alley was very interesting and we LOVED the Mercado Mercantil (Food market)!!
Guide was engaging & knowledgeable. Learned a lot about the history & current events, shops, and coffee about São Paulo. Enjoyed the scenery- old & current views of São Paulo.
The tour was tailored to our needs Gabriel was very kind knowledgeable and patient with us he went out of his way to accommodate us.
Great tour of old sites and new parts of São Paulo. Tour guide Paulo was fantastic, kept us safe and informed. He adjusted the tour to our interests.
Alex is the best tour guide ever! He's very knowledgeable about Sao Paulo and Brazil and world travels. Very patience with us and with the Sao Paulo traffic. We had a wonderful day and got a great overview and understanding of Sao Paolo. I would highly recommend Alex!
Debora was late due to an unforeseen incident. We started as nothing happened. She was very attentive and gracious. The driver was outstanding. He was right there when it was time to move one. Deborah’s Afro/Brazilian knowledge was very informative.
Edson was a wonderful tour guide. He was on time, professional, friendly and knowledgeable. He was patient and fit our wants within the tour. His vehicle was also very clean and comfortable.
This is a great way to really see São Paulo because having a driver who really knows the city and the people can navigate around the 8 million cars that are driving around the city. Stopping at Batman alley, and the city center market for lunch is a must. Our driver was Marcio and he spoke English and Portuguese so communicating with the locals was very easy. We had a great time discussing many cultural issues between our two countries America and Brazil, and learned a lot about how life is in South America. Had a memorable experience.
We had a wonderful 6 hour tour of São Paulo with Doris. She was very nice, knowledgeable and professional. The tour was well thought out, and we had a fantastic time during the little time we had left after a workday before our departure home. We strongly recommend her and this agency.
Sao Paulo is a huge city. This tour allowed us to see lots of highlights with the knowledge of a friendly guide. Carlos was obliging and helpful.
My experience was great. My guide, Regiani, was very open to what I wanted to experience in the tour. And her knowledge pf Brazilian history and culture was amazong. It was great !
My guide, Regiani, was greatband alliwed me to choose the activities and places that I wsnted to experience. And her knowledge of history ans culture was amazing.
The private guided tour was exceptional and an amazing way to view the city of São Paulo. Our guide was knowledgeable about the history and origin of the people making up the inhabitants of the City. The sites we viewed were amazing and incredibly beautiful. It was a great experience to understand and view the cultural sites, including food markets, museum, churches, suburbs, neighborhoods and the architecture of the buildings and the city itself. We could have done more writhing 5 hours and explored the sites by actually touring them, but it might be due to traffic that we did not achieve all the sites within the time allotted. But otherwise, it was immaculate.
We had a great experience! Kali was amazing — so knowledgeable and patient, and she knew everyone which made it feel extra special. The market was a highlight — delicious sandwich and fruits I’ve never tried before. Highly recommend this tour, especially with Kali as your guide!
We had an excellent experience with Viator in our trip to Sao Paulo. Everything was perfectly organized, and the guide, Denis, was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was very well paced and we felt completely saved and supported. We would highly recommend Viator and Denis to anyone visiting the city.
Danilo was amazing! He was very knowledgeable. Knows a lie of facts and dates. Great vibes. Fun. Super nice and friendly. Made my parents and I feel very comfortable. Book this tour!! You will not regret it.
