We had an absolutely incredible full-day private tour with Danilo! From the moment he picked us up, we knew we were in great hands. He speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, and who knows how many other languages, making communication effortless and enjoyable. What really set Danilo apart was how flexible he was. He completely customized the day around what we wanted to see and experience rather than following a rigid itinerary. His brand-new car was spotless, spacious, and extremely comfortable, making it easy to enjoy the day. Danilo is incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating history and local insights everywhere we went. He took us through Liberdade, where we explored the neighborhood, visited beautiful cathedrals, and then brought us to the top of the Santander Building for breathtaking panoramic views of São Paulo. One of the unexpected highlights was riding the subway back to where he had parked the car—it was such a fun and authentic local experience! He also introduced us to some delicious Brazilian treats we never would have found on our own and took us to an outstanding ramen restaurant for lunch that was delicious! Danilo is kind, attentive, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing his city. Thanks to him, we experienced São Paulo in a way we never could have on our own. If you’re looking for a private guide who is knowledgeable, accommodating, and truly goes above and beyond, we couldn’t recommend Danilo more highly. He made our last day in São Paulo unforgettable!

The Julio Prestes station is a historical building that is an actual train station. In addition, it's a concert house for the São Paulo Symphonic Orchestra.

Over the past century, the station has become a gateway for millions of immigrants, from where they came by train after they arrived in Brazil at the port of Santos. The mass wave of immigrants upgraded the then small town of São Paulo to an important metropolis along the 20th century.
São Paulo Municipal Market is one of the main attractions of the city and a mandatory stop for everyone visit São Paulo. Do not miss out on the myriad of fruits, nuts, wines, cheeses, beers, food etc.. A summary of Brasil can be found in it.

Jardim Europa is one of the most valuable neighborhoods in the city of São Paulo surrounded by luxurious mansions of bankers, politicians, industrialists, entrepreneurs and football players.
Visit the heart of the street art in São Paulo, Batman’s alley is an area where virtually no surface is left untouched. This lengthy stretch of high-walled residences in Vila Madalena, showcases some of the most impressive spray paint murals around. The constantly changing nature of the art form means there's sure to be something striking and new with each visit.
Visit Vila Madalena which is a reference when it comes artistic expression of all kind. The Vila has evolved into a cultural hub for artists, small private art galleries and studios, several hotspots for street art.
"High-end Boutiques" Oscar Freire St. and its surroundings are known for their luxury stores, but it is very wrong to think that everything there is expensive. In fact, stores concentrate more status than exorbitant prices. Because they are, in general, the largest stores in the chains, they end up receiving stranded products with discounts.

This was my second time touring with Gregtur in São Paulo. This second tour was just as good as the first. I booked a private tour for our group and requested Carlos Felix as our guide. He’s fantastic! Very knowledgeable, energetic, and flexible on sights. Highlights this time included a surprise car show at the train station, exploring Liberdade Neighborhood, lunch at the Municipal Market, and touring Batman Alley. We had a diverse group with varying backgrounds and everyone had fun!
I had a wonderful two days exploring São Paulo, and much of that is thanks to Danilo, who served as my guide on both days. His knowledge of the city runs deep. He brought São Paulo's rich history to life at every stop, offering context and stories that you simply would not get on your own. The food tour was a real highlight. As a vegetarian, I was especially pleased with how thoughtfully everything was handled, and Danilo made sure I had plenty to enjoy throughout. The visit to the bakery was fantastic, full of local character and wonderful aromas, and the market was a feast for the senses. Danilo walked me through the stalls, explaining the produce, the ingredients, and the traditions behind them. What stood out most was Danilo's genuine passion for his city. He was patient, engaging, and clearly took pride in showing São Paulo at its best. Two full days in his company flew by. I would recommend Danilo and this experience without hesitation. If you want to understand São Paulo beyond the surface, he is the guide to have
We are a party of 6 and had only one day in São Paulo. Out guide, Danilo, did a wonderful job. He was both entertaining and informative. We covered all the major sites and have a good idea of the city. I highly recommend.
Deborah and the Driver are exceptional excellent in the whole tour, from begin to the end. She is very knowledgeable. All of our group members ware very happy.
Danilo was an absolutely amazing tour guide. We did two separate tours, on two separate days with him. First of all, we were very impressed with his perfect command of the English language, he speaks like a native speaker. He has a vast knowledge of not just São Paulo and its important past and present history, the sites, the neighborhoods, the buildings, what is worth to see, but it was truly a pleasure talking to him about a wide variety of issues. In addition to being a fantastic and very knowledgeable tour guide and a wonderful person, he was also an excellent, calm and very safe driver, something which was very important when driving in busy São Paulo traffic. He kept his car spotlessly clean every time we rode with him. We have learned a lot during these two days from him and we would most certainly want him to be our tour guide again when we return. Gregturs is very lucky to have him as a tour guide!
Having a private tour is great because if needed you can pivot without being concerned about a bus full of guest. We had to do that because of the rain and still had a great time. Danielo was an EXCELLENT tour guide and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him
Diego was friendly and very knowledgeable. He was able to customize the tour around our interests. They also met us inside the airport and then when tour was complete dropped us at our hotel.
Very knowledgeable and friendly. Tour was customized to your likes and dislikes. We stop and had great coffee.
Asked what my interests were, street art,food market and football. And that is exactly what my literally delivered. Just one to one it felt like a day trip with a friend. I'll leave sao Paulo knowing so much more about the city. It wasn't the cheapest by a long way but you get what you pay for and 8 and a half hours later, it was worth every penny
Excellent guide Danilo. Accommodated all our requests and had an amazing time. We'll worth the cost.
Danilo was woderful. Very knowledgeable,loved the places he took us to,especially Batman Alley to see all the street art and the market where after delicious lunch we did an exotic fruit tasting. Fabulous experience Would definitely recommend Danilo for a guide.
Danilo was a fantastic tour guide and gave us a wonderful glimpse into all the different parts of the city. He took us to some of the spots where the locals go and gave us great recommendations for our food and drinks. Overall a great way to spend a long layover in São Paulo!
We had a wonderful full day tour of Sao Paulo with our guide Carlos. I would highly recommend him. He was full of information and showed us so many great places. Three of our highlights were the public market, Batman Alley and the train station. Others are too numerous to mention. Carlos is loaded with information and a great guide.
This full day tour with Danilo was fantastic. It was totally customized to my interest in art architecture, shopping, history and food and we fitted in a trip to Ayrton Sennas grave, a ride on the metro, lunch at the local market and a visit to Batman Alley. He has a really nice car and is an excellent driver, speaks perfect English and was able to answer any question and fit all my requests into the day. This was truly a comprehensive city tour from a very professional guide, which I would highly recommend to anyone visiting Sao Paulo.
Danilo is an excellent guide, very informative, well educated and speaks very good English. We learnt a lot of Brazilian history, history of São Paulo and even had a lively discussion on various “life “ topics. Danilo took some excellent pictures and WhatsApp’d us after the tour. Highly recommend
Hi … just wanted to say a big thanks for a great day with Hendrick today! He gave us a fantastic overview of Brazilian history and other topics - he is incredibly knowledgeable! He was very happy to accommodate our unique requests (to see the snakes and vaccine museum at the Butantan institute) as well as showing us the sights of downtown, and he was interesting and fun to spend the day with. I would highly recommend Hendrick as a guide for any visitor to São Paulo. Thanks for coordinating today’s trip and making everything so easy for us!
The details and history provided by Bruno on this tour made the city come alive. He provided so much information for us to really appreciate this big city.
It was an amazing experience as Bruno knows a lot of valuable information regarding the country’s history, architecture and general fun facts. Very easy going and the places we were able to visit were really important and impressive. Great job on this tour!!! Bruno nailed it!
Carlos is a very passionate and energetic guide. He speaks good English and able to explain the history etc. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip with Carlos. I will recommend his services to anyone.
Just got back from an outstanding 7-hour private tour of São Paulo with Carlos, my guide. He picked me up at the airport, spoke perfect English, and showed me the city like a professional. We saw historic sites and some cool local spots I’d never have found on my own. At the end, he dropped me at my hotel to end a perfect first day in Brazil.
It was a great experience with our tour guide Monica. She picked us up on time and told us so much about the city. The buildings, the history up to the country and people nothing was missed. It was very pleasant to travel through the city in the car and so the 7 hours flew by. This event is only to be recommended and there is enough time to look at everything and ask a lot of questions.
The tour was awesome. Ilan is an amazing guide. He is very professional in terms of sharing his great knowledge about the historical background of the sights and cultural aspects of the city and the cuntry. He was very helpful and adjusted the tour according to my interests and needs and you could feel his love and enthousiasm for Brazil!
Danilo was the absolute best tour guide! From the time he picked us up from the airport, he used every second to make the trip both fun and educational. During the time sitting in traffic, he introduced us to different Brazilian styles of music and kept us laughing with jokes. We were a small group of 4 so he catered the sights directly to our interests. My mom was worried about having her phone stolen, so Danilo offered to take our photos for us and the shots he captured were professional quality. We saw so many things in our short time during our layover and ate some great food (traditional pasteles and Brazilian coffee and desserts). The rooftop view of the whole city was the perfect ending to the trip--its definitely worth it!
We had one day to visit Sao Paulo and this tour was perfect for us. Nelio, our tour guide picked us up from our hotel near the airport and took us to the best places in Sao Paulo city. He was attentive, caring and made us feel safe. All the places we visited were very interesting and in short it was the best way to visit Sao Paulo in a day. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide Nelio.

Had a 36hr stop in São Paulo and decided to look into a day tour trip- had a great experience. Good option for those looking at a way to get out into the city on quick stop overs.
Carlos was Top Notch - Sao Paulo is a very difficult with Traffic, but it was very good - i will only add an entrance to top museum
This is our first time visiting São Paulo, the tour guide Danilo provided us with friendly, detail oriented and customized itinerary, plus a stop at local market for a quick delicious “street food”… the whole tour is excited and full of joys. We really enjoy the unforgettable experience.
Carlos was great. Very friendly and professional. Car was comfortable and air conditioned, and he was consistent in making sure I was comfortable and answered all of my questions. Couldn’t have asked for a better day tour of São Paulo. Highly recommend.
Today , I had the pleasure of taking a private tour of São Paulo with Carlos Martinez and I cannot recommend him highly enough. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional.

We had a wonderful day with our tour guide, Carlos. He confirmed all details by WhatsApp and picked us up on time, in a nice, clean car. We visited several neighborhoods and learned so much about the history, architecture, art, and food in São Paulo. He provided the tour in Spanish and English and also taught us a few words in Portuguese. He took us to see all the major sites, as well as places we specifically requested, and when we wanted extra time to take pictures in Ibirapuera Park, and we wanted to stay and eat lunch at the in the Mercado Municipal, he was very accommodating.
I absolutely enjoyed my trip with Danilo! It was amazing. It turned that we are both fans of the TV novella “Por amor” and we love the same music. So we were on the same vibe. He showed me the city, we visited the main Cathedral, two rooftops, did a small shopping with famous flipflops, local arts street and local beer place. That was unforgettable! I felt like walking around the city with a friend! Thank you so much, Danilo and Gregtours, for this trip!
Driver was very knowledgeable of the area. He took us to several locations. We had free time to do as we pleased. Very punctual and quick replies. Entire process was very easy from start to finish
Jorge gave us a great overview of this big city using well the time we had together. He is very personable and knowledgeable and we learned a lot while having a lovely day. Highly recommend !
Wonderful tour to see the highlights of sao paulo Our guide, Carlos, did an outstanding job. And a superb driver in the heavy city traffic! I am glad we chose the private tour option
Great day out seeing the city with Nelio! He shared his love for the city and country with me and gave me an insider's view of things. Given the complexities of getting around Sao Paulo and very few English speakers, it would be difficult to get this experience without a guide. He also helped me get a few things I needed for my onward journey. Don't miss the original mortadella sandwich at the municipal market!
Excellent driver and tour guide . Very informative and friendly Thank you Mauro and Jonas. Nothing was too much trouble . We had a really lovely day after being ok med up from the airport and shown around SP , feeling we got to see some of the real city whilst always feeling safe
We had a wonderful private tour with our guide, Bruno, who brought us around to see many great sights in São Paulo. Bruno was very friendly, had great energy, and was able to communicate with us seamlessly in English. He tailored the tour to our interests and kept the tour going at a great pace all day which made the tour very efficient. Would highly recommend Bruno and this tour for anyone visiting São Paulo!
Denis made this experience. By the end of was line we had a new friend in Sao Paolo!!!! What a great, funny, interesting guy!!!! Sao Paolo was very interesting but I'm not sure we would have loved it so much with any other guide. Ask for him specifically when you book!!!
Wonderful experience, picked up on time and taken at my request to see some of the best graffiti in the downtown area (Batman Alley). Bruno was our guide and saw the main architecture, train station, very high end residential area. So much more including having lunch at a wonderful Sushi restaurant.
We met our guide at the airport with no issues. Had a fantastic layover tour exploring the food market, art district and Batman Alley, beautiful park and stunning cathedrals, before returning to the airport in time for our evening flight. Our guide was very accommodating and informative, and adjusted the tour sequence to suit when we wanted to eat and avoid busy traffic areas etc. Would thoroughly recommend this tour.
The weather wasn’t great, but Bruno was able to get us to a lot of places and really give us a good overview of the city.
We spent a full day with Danilo, and had a fabulous experience. Danilo is super knowledgeable and engaging, giving us historical background as well as the significance of events and connecting the dots from past centuries to what we visited. He gave us options and recommendations for stops, as well as sharing his experiences. We also really enjoyed discussing recent and current events with Danilo; he is very well informed and thoughtful. Our lunch was very good, thanks to Danilo’s recommendations. His vehicle is comfortable and clean. We felt safe and at ease at all times. Danilo also helped us with optimal locations for memorable photos, and showing us the best vendors in the market. We won’t hesitate to book another tour with Danilo; there’s so much to see and learn in São Paulo, and he’s an outstanding guide for it! Highly recommend 100%!
The tour was outstanding in all aspects. English speaking guide Mauro spoke good English and was extremely knowledgeable. He took us all over the city and we were extremely satisfied with the numerous sights we visited. He made the tour very enjoyable by varying the different points of interest and getting to know us and what interested us and what itinerary he had planned to insure we were very happy with the tour. Numerous times we stopped and he would walk with us and provide a detailed history and significance of the spot and other times he would allow us to take our time while enjoying a particular spot. Despite being 7-hours we were never bored. Well worth the money, highly recommended and would use this tour company and guide on our next trip to Brazil.
Guide Danilo is very knowledgeable about the city and the country and its history. Much to choose from in a huge city- Danilo fully pursued my history interest.
Our driver, Bruno, was nothing short of exceptional by showing us the highlights of the city with a lot of information. He made a couple of adjustments for the two of us that kept it from being a cookie cutter tour. Batman alley was amazingly cool. Highly recommended
