Itinerary
Considered one of the symbols of Santos, Monte Serrat is known for the Sanctuary of The saint of Monte Serrat, the patroness of the city, which receives thousands of faithful on September 8th. Devotees arrive at the chapel after climbing the 416 steps of the hill's staircase, along which there are 14 niches with representations of the Stations of the Cross. It is also possible to access the top via the traditional funicular tram. At the summit, there is a well-preserved building of an old casino, which currently serves for leisure and contemplation activities. From there, you can have a panoramic view of the city, including the Historic Center, the waterfront and the port.
Inaugurated in 1998, the Coffee Museum is one of the main tourist attractions in the city of Santos, with the aim of preserving and promoting the history of coffee in Brazil and around the world. Through objects, documents, and audiovisual resources, the institution showcases to the public how the evolution of coffee cultivation and the political, economic, and cultural development of the country are intertwined, from the mid-18th century to the present day.
Home to an immeasurable wealth of architectural, cultural, and religious details that date back to Brazil's history and have connections to various parts of the world, the Historic Center of Santos houses a variety of attractions for tourists and residents of all ages.
The home of the King of Football: the Pelé Museum. With free access, it's the moment to journey through the incredible trajectory of Edson Arantes do Nascimento with documents, jerseys, soccer cleats, balls, awards, and trophies, among many other items from the 'Greatest athlete of the 20th century's' personal collection.
The Campina Hill, also known as Maluf Hill, is located between Enseada Beach and Pitangueiras Beach, separating them. The hill has a 40-meter-high cliff, and access to it is via Miguel Estéfano Avenue, while Amaro Street provides access from the top, where there is a lookout point. It is one of the main landmarks in Guarujá, considered the starting point. Known as Maluf Hill due to Edmundo Maluf, an industrialist from São Paulo who had a house on the hillside and hosted parties on Campina Hill.
In addition to a beautiful scenery and stunning sea, Enseada Beach boasts excellent infrastructure and a range of services that include hotels, guesthouses, restaurants, kiosks, as well as attractions such as bike rentals, surfboard rentals, jet skis, and more.
Porchat Island is a promontory located on the coast of São Paulo, between the Bays of São Vicente and Santos, and the Milionários and Itararé beaches. The island is one of the main tourist attractions belonging to the municipality of São Vicente in São Paulo.

The most impressive will be a guide. Airton.. I feel nothing much to see in San Paulo. However, it is better than just staying in town
Very informative and helpful tour guide. We had a wonderful tour and saw a lot in a short time. Would highly recommend.
Beautiful weather on the first day of winter. The beaches were gorgeous and the Coffee and Pele museums were fantastic. The best part of the tour was Isaac, my guide. Super knowledgeable and shared so much of the history of Brazil.
Isaac was amazing! He was very informative and very flexible with our trip, and even had a back up rain schedule as our trip has a chance of rain. He was gracious enough to pick us up from our hotel and drop us off at the airport once our trip concluded. I think I read somewhere on here that this trip did not have a guide talking through the museum portion- that is incorrect. Isaac flawlessly showed us through the coffee and Pele museums and talked us through each exhibit, and gave us a history of the whole country! I feel much more informed and relaxed after our day trip with Isaac. Strongly recommend this trip to everyone, this day really was a stand out in our vacation!
Gabriel was phenomenal! He took us on an amazing journey through Santos and Guaruja explaining the history and culture of Brazil. We ended the day at the beach with a beautiful scenery. He never left our side and made the trip comfortable and relaxed. He was a gentleman opening doors for us, offering water, translating with the locals and allowing us bathroom stops on the trip. Would 100% recommend for any person visiting Brazil and needs an amazing tour guide.
We are English speaking. The coffee museum did not offer any English tour guide so it was extremely difficult to take advantage of it. It was a shame because it’s a pretty cool museum! Our tour guide failed to interpret anything for us. He did not speak good English.
We had a great time on our tour, it was a very easy and low stress way to see the museums in Santos and parts of São Paulo. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area! The pickup directly at our hotel was convenient as well.
What an amazing tour. Our tour guide Isaac was so knowledgeable on all the places we visited. We.learnt so much about the history of Santos where we visited the Coffee museum and the Pele museum. The beaches were breathtaking. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip. Thank you Isaac. You truly made our tour worth it. You went out of your way to make our trip memorable. I will definately recommend this tour.
Isaac was a good driver-guide, very recommendable. The time set for the trip was too short though due to the distance
We had a great time on the tour. Out tour guide was Edson. The company was great with pick up, and the car was comfortable. I travelled with my wife and 5 year old daughter. The tour was flexible to meet our needs and we had a great time. I had never been to Santos and the surrounding area before, and I was really impressed, I want to go back. The tour guides language skills were great.
This was a fantastic tour Isaac was really knowledgeable (about the history, geography and Brazil in general) and kept us entertained the whole day. We saw some very nice beaches, swam in the Atlantic and saw the coffee and Pele museum. All in all it was a lovely day. Would definitely recommend the tour.
We can’t say enough great things about our day with Isaac. His knowledge is endless and not one question was left unanswered. He was so accommodating to our group & making such each and every activity of the day was wheelchair accessible for our group!
It is a nice glimpse of Santos, great historical explanation by our amazing guide, Pedro. You are immersed into the history of Brazil.
Love the personalized tour. If we wanted to make stops other than what was suggested we did. Isaac was a great guide and very knowledgeable. Loved it!
Wow! I usually find at least one small negative when leaving a review, but this time, I have absolutely nothing but great things to say! We spent three days in São Paulo, two of which were with Issac, and they were truly the highlight of our trip. I originally booked the Santos & Guarujá Beach Tour (8 hours – Pickup in São Paulo) as a surprise for my husband’s birthday, and it turned out to be the best decision. We had such a relaxed and enjoyable day, and it wouldn’t have been the same without Issac! His deep knowledge, friendly attitude, and genuine kindness made the experience even more special—always making sure we were happy without ever making us feel uncomfortable. We loved our time with him so much that we ended up booking another tour the next day to explore São Paulo! Issac’s passion for Brazil and its history is contagious, and his knowledge is truly impressive. I highly recommend anyone visiting São Paulo—whether for a short or long stay—to book a tour with Issac. You won’t be disappointed! Thank you, Issac, for everything!

We are highly satisfied with Isaac. His very a very refined gentleman, very respectable, fluent in English. We had no problem at all in understanding him. We learn a lot of good information about Brazil history, specially São Paulo. We wish him a successful career. He is asset for the company.
Pedro was an excellent guide. Everything was great and tailored for what we wanted to do. We enjoyed a lot in the beach and learned about brasilian history
We had a wonderful visit in Santos and Guaruja with Pedro. We highly recommend any tours with Pedro. He is well informed, very interesting and very flexible. Regardless of what we wanted to do Pedro provided an excellent background. I learned more about Brasil, its history and its people when travelling with Pedro than I learned during my pre-trip preparations. It was a wonderful day and very enjoyable. Thank you Pedro
Pedro was an amazing tour guide... very knowledgeable, patient and really took the time to make sure we enjoyed everything we wanted to visit. We had a great time and can't wait to be back.
Pedro is a fantastic tour guide! His knowledge of the area and Brazilian history brought the tour alive for us! He was very attentive to our interests and comfort. Just a great day all the way around! Highly recommend!!
Isaac guided my sister and I all over Santos and Guarujá. He was very attentive to our comfort and so knowledgeable. He also gave us recommendations for the remainder of our stay in São Paulo.
Amazing tour instructor, catered to all our needs. He also provided a very informative tour during our driving the beach.
It was such a great experience and also very informative. Pedro made our day great. He is very knowledgeable.
Pedro is an absolutely brilliant guide! I was traveling for business in SP and this trip to the ocean was such a great adventure! Highly recommend!
Funicular ride, city view, coffee museum, coffee education (learned what was wrong, with my home grown coffee bush), Pele museum and gift shop, old historic downtown and train station, ride thru Santos beach, car ferry cross the bay, wide beach promenade, para-sailing riders, beach tennis, and beach food. Weather was also great.
My tour guide, Edson has great energy! He made me feel very comfortable during the tour and is a wealth of knowledge. I highly recommend this tour. I had an awesome time and I cannot wait to connect again with Upper Tour SP in the future. ❤️🙂
This was an absolutely wonderful experience for me and my son. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of his country. It was a rainy day for us so we took more time in the museums to let the rain pass. We had coffee in the coffee museum and did a lot of shopping at the Pele museum. Our lunch on the beach was delicious! It was a truly magical day! I would recommend this experience to everyone!
Pedro was a fantastic guide! A very nice man and well versed in the history and landscape of the area. We had a beautiful day with him. He told us about the key things to see and do and then allowed us to build our day. We went to Monte Serrat, Museu do Cafe, an amazing lunch at the Guaruja beach and he even took me to a local barbershop for a haircut! You will love to spend time with Pedro!!
I had a really nice day with my driver and very knowledgable guide Pedro and he left me all the time which I needed to take picture or enjoy the beach. It was easy to communicate in English which is not common in Brazil. So if you have an extra day in São Paulo I can just recommend this very nice and interesting excursion.
My collegue and I had a fantastic day at Santos and Guaruja with private guide Pedro. He is so knowkegable and explained all about culture and historic things about the cities. Nice view from monte Serrat, coffee musium and Pele musium experience and Guaruja beach were full of fun. We will never forget this experience and will come back soon.
Juliana took us on a fantastic tour of Guaruja beach and the city of Santos. We surfed, ate acai, visited the Pele and Coffee museums. The day was special due to the generous and helpful character of our guide. She not only told us of the areas we were visiting but many recommendations for other places to visit in Brazil and restaurants to try all around Sao Paulo. It was an experience with a lot of joy and fun on our trip. I would recommend to anyone coming to Brazil.
We had a great day at Garuja/Santos. Juliana was a wonderful and very friendly guide. She picked us up and returned us at our hotel in São Paulo. We were able to spend time at the beach and surf then visit Pelé museum in the afternoon. I highly recommend this tour for those e who want to spend a day outside of São Paulo.
Issac is a great tour guide - perfect English, very accommodating, and well informed of local and world events/culture. Highly recommend!
It really was an unforgettable experience, the agency provided us with an exceptional guide, Pedro is know-it-all, every question had immediate answer. The super recommended agency.
Excellent tour, super complete, very interesting... Pedro our guide the most, very attentive, knows very well the history of his country, very responsible and concerned, all excellent, we were very satisfied with the experience.
Excellent service and attention. I was attended by the guide Pedro Martins and the experience was very pleasant. Very good command of Spanish. Good driver. The trip was complemented at all times by tourist information about the places visited and about the history of Brazil in general.
Fue una experiencia muy agradable con nuestro guía Pedro, desde el inicio del viaje muy atento y sobre todo la explicación muy calada y detallada que nos permitió conocer la historia de Brazil y su cultura!! Recomendado al 100%
The tour was incredibly beautiful and informative. The coffee museum is very interesting. The viewpoints were great. The restaurant overlooking the beach of Santos was great and the food very delicious. The beach of Guaruja is very nice and the caipirinha was very delicious. Isaac was a brilliant guide. He has a very great knowledge that he liked to share and made the trip a great experience for us.
It was a wonderful day, all well organized and very informative. Individual requests were met and the handling was very, very friendly.
Excelente servicio de Pedro Martins, gracias a él tuvimos un día fenomenal aprendimos mucho y siempre cuido que nos la pasáramos bien y que nos sintiéramos cómodos. Recomiendo ampliamente a Pedro Martins para tomar cualquier tour.
All very well, excellent service from Isaac guide, plus his Spanish is excellent. Very comfortable pick up and return too
Great guide! Very friendly, reliable and attentive. We had a very nice day accompanied by Mr. Mauro.
It was an incredible experience, in addition to being in very beautiful places with special people, having good attention and service makes all the difference in an experience like this, we had all the support of the tour guide with the best indications and services, we did not need to worry with nothing!!! That's why I can't stop thanking Upper Tour!!! SUPER RECOMMEND
Leider nur einen Fahrer, kein Reiseführer! Preis Leistung stimmen hier nicht! Leider keine bessere Bewertung aus meiner Sicht verdient!
My experience in São Paulo was incredible thanks to Edson's guide. His detailed knowledge and kindness made every place we visited come to life. From the historic monuments to the most picturesque corners, Edson was an exceptionally informative and professional guide. In addition, his recommendation of local restaurants allowed us to enjoy the delicious typical food of the region. I highly recommend Edson as a tour guide and the company he represents. An unforgettable experience in São Paulo!"
Jorge is not only an excellent guide, he makes you feel like you are traveling with a friend, his vehicle is in excellent condition and very comfortable. We hope to return soon for that trip to Rio. Thank you so much
I spent the day very well accompanied by the guide Pedro. I recommend this tour to anyone who wants to spend a carefree day at the beach. I felt safe and at ease and I was also able to learn a little about the history of the place and have fun. It was very worth it.
