Nelio is knowledgeable and has a real passion for the history of Brasil. Drove us to many places at our own leisure and can customize your tour based on what you want to see and do. Would definitely recommend this tour to others who want to learn about Sao Paulo culture and history.

This was a great way to gain an appreciation for Sao Paulo and a sense of what makes this city so special. Our guide, Doris, was so knowledgable and welcoming.
Our guide, Doris, was fantastic. She tailored the tour to our interests and provided lots of historical detail. We finished our five hour tour with a deep understanding of and appreciation for São Paulo.
Luis was fantastic. Showed us all incredible sites of Sao Paulo. Also had a great lunch at the food market
Kali who was our tour guide for day was very punctual which signaled a great start to the day. The tour kicked off with a very informative history of the City as we progressed through the journey and taking on sights. Everything was well explained. The most significant part was her patience and understanding of how slow we moved. The went the extra mile ensuring that we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The entire tour was exciting and completely changed the misinformation that we had about the city. Highlights for us was the Baco do Batman, modern art museum and the gastronomic tour of the municipal market of Sao Paolo( a must see for everyone visiting the city). Kali is extremely knowledgeable, polite, friendly, helpful, patient and most importantly very professional. Kali my wife and I really appreciate your kindness. Please keep up the good work.
First time in Sao Paolo! Luis did a terrific job of showing me the.sites. Street art in this city is the best!
We had a ball with Gilbran who was super interesting and personable. Everywhere we went people seem to know him which was fun. We saw all the sites and enjoyed lively conversation. Fun and flexible! Highly recommended!!!
We loved our private tour of São Paulo with Kali! She was so friendly, knowledgeable and gave us such a special tour and wonderful memories! Would highly recommend!!!!!
We had Monica as our guide, she spoke great English, was really knowledgeable, so friendly & generous. Things didn’t go quite to plan for us but Monica went above & beyond to ensure we still had a great experience. Would def recommend.
Wonderful tour. Our guide was Gilbran. He was very knowledgeable and spoke English very well. Would highly recommend.
Fabio was fabulous! Knowledgeable, fun, and had great suggestions…I thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
We loved our visit to Sao-Paulo due to the comprehensiveness of the tour that we booked with GetYourGuide. We had only one day to visit this big city and Kali helped us to understand its history and vibe in just few hours. From the luxuriant and tranquil Ibirapuera park, the bird eye views from the rooftop of the museum of modern arts, street artists and wall paintings of Batman alley, Kali guided us through the Brazilian culture of the past and present, São Paulo architecture, its artists, how the European style old town evolved then lost importance in favor of new financial downtown, the story of the Cathedral de Sė construction, and many other facts we were not aware. We even had time to taste a good Brazilian coffee and chocolate made with Brazilian cacao. We have a beautiful memory of our visit and appreciate Kali’s kindness and patience in answering all our questions. Many thanks from Mariana and Mircea, Montreal, Canada.
Fabio was a great guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of São Paulo. Went to spots that we would not have known if we traveled on our own.
Amazing Experience!! We can't wait to do it again. Our guide Kali was amazing. We finished the tour feeling we truly know Sao Paulo
Fabio was full of great information about São Paulo , we loved our city tour and all the tips on where to eat and go to after the tour
Our guide did an excellent job showing us São Paulo from the perspective of a local. He tailored the experience to our interests and really brought the city alive for us. He even kept our two teenagers fully engaged. Was a fantastic experience.
Do this tour early so you can spend later days returning to any area you wsnt to spend more time in. Great way to see several attractions in the city. Tour guide was fantastic. Can't say enough about how he spent 5 hours with us and tried to make sure he answered all of our questions.
Kali, our guide for the day, was exceptional. She demonstrated an impressive depth of knowledge about the city and went above and beyond to ensure our visit to the Mercado Municipal was seamless and enjoyable. Her attentiveness and expertise make her the ideal guide for anyone visiting São Paulo.
Splendid tour of an incredible city. Tour guide “Lucas” not only hit all the important, fun, cultural, and food places, but provided so much historical information. A magical experience…..
We saw the highlights of the city which gave us ideas on where to go to spend more time in city our Gide Luis was very knowledgeable and feiendly
Gil was knowledgeable and entertaining. Tour enabled us to better understand the huge city of Sao Paulo, from point zero center to elegant neighborhoods.
Amazing tour guide Fabio who tailored the experience for my interests and time. Just had a fantastic time learning about the beautiful city of Sao Paolo. Did 3 hour tour due to my own time limits but we got to see a lot!
Great tour of the city including all key attractions. Our guide Bruno Ferrari was outstanding, spoke English Spanish and Portuguese and made our experience wonderful. Thank you very much!!
Excellent tour guide and Very knowledgeable Recommend to book this tour lively overview of São Paulo
The tour guide can speak fluent English , introduce tourist attractions and is knowledgeable. It is a good experience. I forgot my water bottle in the car and he drove 20min to bring it black to me, very good service, strongly recommend
Was great ha inf private tour. Drive was very knowledgeable. Could go at our own pace. Got to see alot
If I could rate Luis tour higher I most definitely would. He was the most charming and hospitable tour guide I have ever met. My mom and I booked a 3 hour tour , and she showed us some many beautifully spots in São Paulo. He definitely knew his stuff.The art, the scenery, the food, and of course the shopping. Obrigada Luis for being so kind to my mother and I. The ladies from GA Shiquita
Gil was an amazing guide and really brought the city and history to life! I highly recommend his tours.
Seeing the different cultures , monuments & Skye hotel & bar 👍. A great stopover if entering Brazil to go onto Iguazú Brazil then over to Argentina x
Nice tour. Good guide. Lot to see. But Smal car. And soo mutch trafic it took way back 45 min for the last 4 km.
Gilbran Chalita was the best guide ever. He was knowledgeable, kind, funny, polite, patient. He made the day very enjoyable and valuable.
Luis is a great tour guide and knows a lot about the city. He adjusted the route for us and made my 15 yo son very happy to visit the Gallery of Rock and found the only store that was selling the t-shirt with his favorite band. We visited many places and tried new fruits and dishes during this amazing tour. Would recommend this tour if you are in SP and would like to explore and learn about it.
Great tour!!! Fabio was an amazing tour guide, and customized the itinerary to our wants and needs. Perfect tour for a first time in São Paulo!
Absolutely amazing tour with Luiz. We will definitely book again on future trips. Knowledgeable, fun, patient. The time went so quickly because we were having a great time.
Everything was perfect! Luis is very good, knows every place, history and knows everybody around so he gets the best things and with discount! I was alone but felt safe. I hope next time I come with my family.
Doris is an incredible tour guide! We learned so much from her about Sao Paulo and saw many of the wonderful sights to see, which helped us narrow down where we wanted to spend more time during the rest of our visit. And going with her to the Municipal Market made it an easier and more enjoyable way to experience it, since we spoke very little Portuguese. We highly recommend booking a tour with Doris!
Doris was our guide ..such a wonderful experience..she is very knowledgeable about the city history and gave us great recommendations!
Doris was so fun and informative! It’s not easy being one on one but she made it smooth - the tour and the city exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend!
Luiz was a great guide but we didn't stop at many of the places listed. Some road closure because of carnival also made things difficult. Wasn't worth the cost of the tour.
We had a great tour with a knowledgeable guide. Got to see several landmarks and we’re not rushed through it all.
Luis was an amazing guide, very friendly, knowledgeable and considerate. He even helped us buy football tickets for the game that evening and gave us instructions on which gate to go. 10/10!
This is the tour to take when you first arrive in Sao Paulo. Our guide, Fabio, was knowledgable, friendly and very interesting. In five hours I got a great feel for the city, and now I know what to pursue in the coming days. The tour was tailored to our interests. We wanted an afternoon coffee, so Fabio took us to a great coffee shop. When you book, ask for Fabio.
Our guide Luis did excellent job. He provided as much information about Sao Paulo as we need to learn. He was personable, friendly, KNOWLEDGEABLE, and did an amazing job of making sure that we got the most out of our time with him.
Luiz was an amazing and friendly tour guide! He knew a lot about Sao Paulo and even taught me some Portuguese. I was able to get to know all the main attractions in the city, it was really fun!
Fabio was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the city and his English was very good. We were picked up at our hotel for a half-day private tour and followed the itinerary on the website. It was a well paced tour with some driving and a good number of stops to get out and walk around. You can have lunch at the Municipal Market so skip breakfast if your tour is in the morning.
Fabio was knowledgeable, friendly, articulate, and flexible. Asked him a ton of questions; told us if he knew, said if he didn't-- which wasn't much. Thoughtful and considerate of our well-being, energy, interests.. Nicely paced and balanced tour.
I spent five amazing hours with my guide, Gilbran, seeing all of the main tourist sites along with learning about Brazil and São Paulo’s history. As a single female traveller I felt completely safe and Gilbran shared where NOT to go as a tourist as well as where to spend more time. Highlights were the municipal market and Batman’s Alley. Would highly recommend.
safe, dedicated, flexible, insightful, really well done …… a good fit and with options … gives you SP in half a day
Great day seeing the highlights of São Paulo, a wonderful city. The driver/tour guide knew a lot about the city and even provided us with tips for the next day (which turned out to also be perfect suggestions!)
Our guide FABIO WAS very knowledgable and drove exactly to the places we want o visit quick and cover in one day most of the important places in Sao Paulo. It was illustrative, lots of history and complete idea of how is SP/ well it is not a tourist place. But, lots of museums to go the following days. The tours and very complete. Little expensive but worthy.We enjoy it very much.
