Such a great tour. I've had many tours in many cities all over the world and this was one of the best, because of how much we saw and learned about this amazing city, thanks to how the tour was planned and organized, and thanks to the guide's, Edson, dedication to show and explain everything and answer every question we had.

This tour had a little bit of everything. Mauricio made it easy to enjoi Sau Paulo most popular tourist attractions. A really good morning tour for an introduction to the city.
Covers lots of places, very interesting
A good 5.5hrs trip & just make sure to bring food or something. We were fine as had good breakfast. The guide was great & not rushed. Took time to walk around, the history & just the different spots. Great way to start the trip or if you have short days. For us it was perfect! Thank you to our guide & driver. We had a lovely group.
Overall the tour was a good experience. Unfortunately it was cold and rainy all day, but our guide Maurico was very positive and we made the best of it. He is also a long time resident of the area and has great knowledge of the city’s history. Sao Paulo is a very large city so it’s nearly impossible to see everything in just half a day, but I think the tour did a good job at touching on the highlights. I would recommend it if you are short on time or only visiting the city for a couple of days. The only negative would be that sometimes it was hard to hear or get all of the information of each site due to the guide having to split his time explaining everything between a large group of people speaking three different languages.
Edson was fantastic. He was very knowledgeable and made the tour very entertaining.
Was a lot of fun and great company
Wonderful half day experience kf old and modern day Sao Paolo with its wide ranging cultures and history . Bravo Eddie!
The guide was super nice. We are so happy that we took a city tour. Managed to see a lot. Must take a tour, especially if u have a limited time.
Great English translator and good driver took us around city for many views and took photos of us at many sites.
It was very valuable experience. Our gide Mauricio was exceptional. His knowledge's about history, nature, architecture and traditions were so impressive. He shared all information very friendly in two languages: both fluently, English and Spanish. Itenerery was very interesting. It is must do tour in Sao Paulo.
Excellent tour provided a good introduction to São Paulo, its history, districts and culture. Edison was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide with lots of stories and a willingness to answer any question. This was helped by his excellent command of English. Highly recommended.
I had the absolute best day today! I am so grateful that Edson was our guide! I learned so much about São Paulo and Brazil. Hewas very funny and honest about the complicated history and perspectives.
Excellent tour! Paulo was an excellent driver and Edson was a fantastic guide. Do not be worried to book!
We enjoyed the tour. The guide was very knowledgable and friendly. He spoke English and Spanish. The van was spacious and comfortable. Easily would recommend.
EDSON mt atencioso e bom explicando.
Edson was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and friendly. He knows English and Spanish.
The experience was wonderful and the sites were great, but the tour guide “Mariceo” was absolutely amazing…He made whole experience come to life.
The tour guide was excellent. However, the activiites provided little value except for the Parade of Flags Statute. Additionally the tour was longer than 5 hours. I would not reccomend this tour.
Excellent tour around relevant sites of São Paulo. Edson is an excellent tour guide and very polite person.
Great overview Tour of Sao Paulo. The guide was great. Funny, informative and gave information in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Nice was to see some of the best sites of the city in a short time.
Great host We had Edson. He was very knowledgeable and spoke in Spanish and english. Also the driver was very careful and courteous
Great Sao Paolo tour if short on time. Our guide, Edison, was patient and nice. Our driver was good and efficient. We signed up for an English tour but we were the only 2 English speakers in our group of 10. He had to speak in Portuguese and Spanish before he got to us. By the time he did, he had short explanations for the monument or landmark.
Our guide was very very kind, however not what I was hoping for in terms of quality experience. We were asked to be outside by 9:05AM and our van got there after 9:35AM. Our guide Mauricio showed up in sweats and had a consistent cough inside the inclosed van. Also He mentioned he moved to Brazil a while ago so it felt less authentic of a presentation. He spoke English and Spanish and Portuguese. His Spanish was hard to understand as it would mix with Portuguese. However his English was harder to understand, my friend on the tour that only spoke English didn’t understand any history at all. And missed out on all of the information. No one would ask questions afterwards, or would just walk off instead of listen after a while. We spent about 10-15 at each destination. For some that was enough (monument statues) but others it was very rushed (Batman Alley and the art museum). I was grateful we could be dropped off elsewhere once the tour was over. The views from the rooftop and other included stop were very nice, we wish we were there for a bit longer. Thank you Mauricio.
Disappointing. The tour was given in English and Spanish, but the guide didn't speak English very well, so we learned more from the Spanish explanations. The van was full, and we unfortunately had to sit in the last row, which had no view out the windows, so we couldn't see any of the sites we drove by. We didn't go to all the sites that were listed in the description. If our guide spoke better English, and if we had better seats, I think the tour would have been okay.
The history of the place is inspiring. Learnt a lot about the origin of the beautiful buildings and the architecture of the amazing place
Mauricio was our guide for the tour. He was funny, lively, polite and knowledgeable. We really enjoyed our tour. Our driver was professional and highly skilled. Overall, highly recommend this tour.
Great tour, great details see the pictures. You get info how Sao Paolo was built and mainstream of the culture and history
It was a nice experience and we had a lot of fun! We would recommand this tour to everyone who wants to see the most important places in Sao Paulo.
Edson and marissa are very kindful and respectul, they are amazing guides, sao paulo its amazing, i will return❤️❤️❤️❤️
Guide was good. But the vehicle was not comfortable. I was made to sit in the front with the driver and guide in a very uncomfortable way.
Edson was an amazing tour guide. He explained all the details very nicely and clearly. Driver Luis drove the vehicle perfectly.
I wish I knew more Spanish. Even though it was Bilinguil guide, I felt that I would learnt more about Sao Paulo had I understood more Espanol. Having said that, Mauricio is a knowledgeable and great tour guide.
Edi is great very knowledgeable and friendly I feel like I saw most of São Paulo. There are some beautiful churches and monuments. Also the train station and Batman alley are fun
I had limited time in sao paulo and didn't want to navigate through the city alone.This tour was great as we got to see most hotspots of the city and get a general idea. Our guide Edson was wonderful and knowledgeable. He spoke Portuguese, English and Spanish, so you also get to meet others from different backgrounds. I also was able to book this tour last minute which was really convenient.
It was nice tour to know symbolic places in São Paulo. I was anxious about walking around by myself, this guide tour solved the matter!
Amazing tour. Got to know the best of São Paulo. I’d completely recommend this tour. Super complete and interesting!!!
It was a nice tour, we saw the casa dos rosas, old downtown, japanese area, cathedral, iberapuera park + museum, and more. The guide knew good english and he was funny and informative.
The tour was definitely worthwhile. The venues visited were interesting with the tour guide embellishing each spot. It was a pleasant informative tour...
Muricio was an excellent guide and was extremely knowledgeable about everything Sao Paulo Brazil had to offer. He was extremely well versed in the history of the city and Brazil. He handled every question without hesitation. It was supposed to be a 3-hour tour but ended up to be seven due to traffic and Mauricio taking the time to give us an excellent experience. I was not disappointed with the extended time whatsoever. Picking us up at our hotel was a real bonus.
Learning about Sao Paulo's history. We appreciated learning about the sites from a knowledgeable person. Batman's Alley was very unique.
The best city guide you can have! :). Very friendly, smily and gentle! A lot of background stories and great history support! Mauricio! You rock
If you're short on time or feel you need a quick run through of the main sites of the city then this is the tour for you. We managed to squeeze in a fair few sites with our guide (despite the traffic) and the group was a manageable size. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable and always open to questions.
We were a little bit late for this tour, but the tour operator was so nice to pick us up after the first location stop. The visited locations were incredible and meaningful, however, the tour operator was more focused on the Spanish speaking tourists and sometimes translated to English. During the tour, some people also got lost, so the tour guide had to go back and look for them. Overall, the trip was insightful to learn more about Sao Paolo.
Everything was perfect The right amount of time at each stop The alley with the murals The church where people pay $5000 to get married I use a cane and it was easy
Carla , excellent guide your ; THE BEST PERSON, for explain everything in the City. The best company for São Paulo City Tour . Thanks
We thoroughly enjoyed this half day tour, our guide Maurice was so friendly and full of interesting information about SP and all the locations we visited. He explained everything in Portugese, Spanish and English and never left anyone out or feeling lost, which was super impressive. It was a great way to get a taste of the city and it emboldened us to venture further to some of the great locations discussed. A real bargain for all the sights and info gained. Definitely recommend!
Our tour guide was super friendly but lacked deep knowledge of the sites and also had a difficult time speaking English. The pick up did arrive promptly and the sites we visited were a great way to see Sao Paulo. Yet, if you are interested in the history and deep context of these destinations, I'm not sure this is the best tour. I found myself researching and googling information on my own because our tour guide couldn't provide insightful information. Also, the language barrier was a huge issue. He was not able to effectively communicate and also spoke at a very low volume on the microphone during the tour. Based on my experience, I would not recommend.
Marciano was very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the tour. We also appreciate vida & energia getting the jacket we had left behind in the minivan back to us promptly.
The tour was perfect 1/2 day packed with stops around the city. Wasn't too busy, never felt rushed. And our guide Mauricio was amazing!!
