We had a great tour of São Paulo on 31 October with Gregtur. Bruno and Sergio made a fantastic team. Bruno was an excellent guide, managing a mixed-language group really well and making sure everyone felt included. Sergio was a brilliant driver, navigating São Paulo’s busy traffic with ease. The only thing we would suggest is adding an extra hour to the tour, as it would have been lovely to spend a little more time exploring some of the highlights, particularly Ibirapuera Park and the Japanese Quarter. Overall, a really enjoyable experience and highly recommended!

The city tour with Bruno F was excellent! He provided just the right amount of information to help us understand the history and cultural of the city. Our driver Sergio was also great and managed the traffic well. Thank you both for a fantastic day!
A great experience in São Paulo to discover all the city's main highlights. Since São Paulo is such a huge city, it's the perfect option for getting a quick overview and familiarizing yourself with its most important sights. This tour will help you get a feel for the city and decide which places you'd like to revisit and explore in more depth, with more time. Bruno Ferrari was a great guide, giving all the details for the history of the city. Sergio drove us safely everywhere!
Excellent experience! Bruno makes sure that everyone enjoys the tour.
Bruno Ferrari the guide made the Tiur so fun! Highly recommend
Good tour, gave a great overview over São Paulo. Would recommend.
We had a wonderful day with Bruno Ferrari and Ronaldo. The day was very well organised so we got a great overview of the city's main sights and historic events in just one day.
It was a great experience. The guide Bruno explained a lot of history on the trip and driver Renaldo ensured we had a smooth ride.
It was a fantastic tour to know about the city in such a short period of time. The tour guide Arthur was excellent. HIs sense of humour definitely made the tour more enjoyable. I would highly recommend this tour.
For someone who’s never been to Brazil or São Paulo, this tour is a must. It shows you all the main attractions in sp and Bruno Ferrari (the guide) speaks English fluently. He also brought us to an amazing local brazilian bbq buffet. It is definitely worth the cost!
Excellent tour to get a look at many spots around the city and learn its history. Bruno Ferrari was an excellent guide who had exceptional knowledge about the city, and was accompanied by the excellent driver for the day Reynaldo. Highly recommend
Bruno is incredibly fluent in several languages and did a great job explaining Brazil’s history and culture in detail to people from many different countries. It must not have been easy to repeat the same explanations in almost three different languages throughout the tour, but he did it with great energy and enthusiasm. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see many of São Paulo’s main sights in a relatively short amount of time while also learning about the city’s history from Bruno. It’s a great way to explore different parts of São Paulo efficiently and gain a better understanding of the city at the same time.
This is an excellent way to see the city if you have a day to spend here. Our guide Bruno Ferari and our driver were perfect hosts. They know so much about the city and took us to all of the important areas. Batman Alley was so neat! As were the cathedrals, old buildings, historical landmarks, parks, etc. Our lunch was a massive buffet for a reasonable charge.
Great overview of the city. Learned so much about the history and culture. Good stops for key points and locations and lunch Bruno Ferrari the guide and Renaldo the driver were super.
The tour is pretty good in terms of value for money spending around 7 hours that hit the key areas of Sao Paulo. Bruno Ferrari (our guide) had a wealth of knowledge and history to share
Bruno Ferrari was a wonderful guide. He explained everything very well and was a wealth of information. Everything was done perfectly and the tour was wonderful.
I had a fantastic experience on this São Paulo city highlights tour! A special thank you to our wonderful guide, Arthur, for his knowledge, friendliness and enthusiasm, and to our excellent driver for making the day so smooth and enjoyable. I loved visiting the beautiful church, the chocolate factory, the Municipal Market and Liberdade. Avenida Paulista, the city views and the vibrant atmosphere were also highlights. Lunch was a lovely experience, sharing a meal and good company with fellow travellers from different countries. As a solo traveller visiting Brazil for the first time, this was the perfect way to discover São Paulo’s culture, food and everyday life. If you only have 24 hours in São Paulo, I highly recommend this tour. Thank you, Arthur and our driver, for such a memorable day!
Excellent trip to see various different sightseeing of Sao Paolo. Our guide Arthur was extremely knowledgeable and had a super good energy to keep the group engaged the whole time. Definitely recommend!
It was a nice experience, no rush and the tour guy is friendly and very informative.
Arthur was an absolutely incredible guide! The tour was informative, entertaining, engaging and so much fun. He shared an impressive amount of knowledge about São Paulo, the history of Brazil, its culture and its people. His passion for his country was evident throughout the day, and the stories, humour and banter made the experience even more enjoyable. He made everyone feel included, encouraged conversation and created such a wonderful atmosphere among travellers from all over the world. The driver was also fantastic and contributed to a smooth and enjoyable day. I loved every minute of this experience and couldn’t have asked for a better introduction to São Paulo. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the city!
A very interesting tour with hop on hop off bus. Highly recommended, guide had great knowledge of the city
The tour was good and educational on Brazil. Unfortunately it rained during our tour so we didn’t get to experience Paulista and the market was closed due to election. Not the faults of the tour operators.
Bruno Ferrari is very knowledgeable and articulate in several languages. His historical knowledge of Sao Paulo and Brazil was outstanding.
I only had one day in São Paulo, and this tour gave me all the highlights from around the city. Although São Paulo is big we were able to see a lot and I never felt rushed at any spot we stopped off at. Burno Ferrari (guide) and Ranaldo (driver) were a fantastic team who were knowledge and provided great hospitality
Our tour guide, Bruno Ferrari, was very friendly and knowledgeable. Our driver also made us feel very safe despite having to navigate through São Paulo traffic. If you want a quick overview and history of the top tourist destinations in São Paulo, then this tour is for you. Only a little walking is required because you are driven to each location. We did not spend much time at Dengo or the market, so expect to come back later if you want more time to shop and look around. The buffet we stopped at for lunch was reasonably priced and adequate for a quick lunch, though the food was nothing special. Overall, I would recommend this tour and would book with them again.
Had an awesome time with Bruno Ferrari! He is very knowledgeable and is a native Spanish speaker so he is fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. Very knowledgeable about history and religion. The tour gives a really good overview of the city and is pretty comprehensive. The lunch spot is also very traditional.
I was in Sao Paulo for a conference and only had 1.5 days to explore the city. I chose this tour based on the reviews and it did not disappoint. Bruno Ferrari was a very knowledgeable tour guide who took us around the city and explained the history of Sao Paulo as well as how different landmarks reflected that history. He even gave the tour in the chocolate factory himself (in two languages no less) because the person at the factory who normally gives the tour was not in today!
Bruno F was a very kind and knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend a tour with him.
I really enjoyed this tour and my guide was Nadiana. She was full of information and I could ask her even tips about restaurants to go to or other things to do during my stay in São Paulo. I found the tour very informative and it was great. I saw every single highlight we stopped to take photos, etc. It was very safe. I enjoyed it a lot thank you so much.
Just great service and explanations, felt safe as well.
We took the 7-hour tour of São Paulo with Bruno Ferrari, and it was a wonderful way to discover the city. Bruno has deep knowledge of São Paulo's history and showed us all the must-see sites, with real passion and a great gift for storytelling. He also did a great job bringing the group together, making the whole day feel friendly and enjoyable for everyone. Our driver, Sergio, was also very thoughtful — he even bought us bottles of water during the day, a small gesture that really showed how much care went into the guest experience. The restaurant where we had lunch was a great choice too: varied and suitable for all dietary needs, including vegetarian — everyone found something they liked. A rich, well-organized, and warm day. I highly recommend this tour with Bruno and Sergio!
In Sao Paolo for a conference, with a Saturday to spare … what to do? The city is daunting, chaotic, and carries a reputation of being a little risky for a solo traveller, versus the long history, with rich arts & culture. The answer is to join Bruno Ferrari on this day tour, alternating between walking and a luxury van, a perfect ‘tasting flight’ of SP experiences. Bruno’s nuanced and worldly perspective on this city adds a lot of value to your day. Don’t hesitate to do this tour.
The best tour ever. Bruno Ferrari and Reynaldo were Professional and Courteous. I give them both a 10 out of 10 and then some. This tour is perfect for solo travelers as well.
I had a wonderful time taking the Sao Paulo city tour. The tour was well-paced and interesting, and covered some fascinating places. The guide, Bruno Ferrari, was truly one of the best guides that I have ever met and greatly improved the experience. He was very knowledgeable and gave us a fascinating overview of the history of Brazil and Sao Paulo with in-depth explanations of monuments, sites, and even paintings in relation to it. The driver, Renaldo, was always with our van, so it was easy to leave my carry-on luggage and backpack and not worry about it.
Great tour and experience. It really helps to have a very good sense of Sao Paolo. Nadiana was outstanding. Her knowledge and interaction with the group was great! Her Spanish was impeccable. The van was very comfortable, clean and spacious. I highly recommend them for your visit to Sao Paolo.
Bruno Ferrari our tour guide was well knowledgeable and clear English speaker and polite. our tour was very enjoyable. He did more than my expectatios. He was very energetic and has God given talent.He is real asset for the company.
Our tour guide Bruno Ferrari was extremely experienced and well versed on the history of Sao Paulo. We felt like we received a condensed historical tour. It was a pleasure to have a tour guide that was intelligent, loves what he does and attentive to his customers needs. We highly recommend Mr. Bruno Ferrari who made the tour pleasurable and informative.
It was an amazing overview of the whole city in just one day. I would also recommend the lunch buffet - really good value for money. Bruno Ferrari, our tourguide, was patient, funny and so knowledgebale about all the sights in Sao Paulo and had a really good way of explaining historical facts and making us stay focussed throughout the whole day. Reynaldo was our driver and was really reliable - he made sure we would not get too wet as he was picking us up so close to all the sights again. I would recommend the tour again and again!
This was an amazing experience! It superseded my expectations. Burno Ferrari was kind and so extremely knowledgeable! He thought us the history of Sao Paulo and so much more. We didn't saw places we learn the history. Well done! And all in one full pack day! Oh, and the restaurant for lunch was a great choice! Thank you
Bruno Ferrari and his teammate Renaldo gave us an excellent tour filled with insights into their home town. A well organised and concise tour with some of the most important highlights and history of the city! Definitely recommendable! Thanks a lot, Christine/Germany and Hein/Netherlands
wonderful experience with our guide Bruno Ferrari and Ronaldo
This is a great way to get to know São Paulo with Knowledgeable guides and enjoy the food and sights of this wonderful city. I did it in a Sunday afternoon hitch worked amazing as the tour avoided the dense traffic of working days.
This tour will s solid and very fun if you want to understand São Paulo. Josafat and the rest of the team are knowledgeable and answer any questions you may have. Enjoyed doing it during a Sunday traffic and congestion was minimum.
If you're in Sao paulo, this is the best tour you can take to get a sampling of all the main points to see in the city! Bruno Ferrari was our tour guide and spoke perfect English, Spanish. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the city and made sure to answer all of our questions. He also made sure not to waste time and got us to and from every spot so that we got to experience everything with plenty of time. The lunch spot we went to was also wonderful and had an extensive selection of food! Definitely book this tour!!
This tour was fantastic! I wanted an easy way to see the city in a safe and fun way. This tour with Bruno Ferrari and Ronaldo was perfect! The tour was given in both English and Spanish so that could add some time if you are worried about that but i felt like I still learned so much about Brazil and the huge history of the city. I would suggest this trip to anyone!!
Great experience, wonderful places and thanks our guide Bruno Ferrari and driver Ronaldo we had a perfect tour through São Paulo. Thanks again

Bruno was very knowledgable, and very good with the tour. We really enjoyed the tour. Good for people with very little time in Sao Paulo.
We had a wonderful experience on this tour of São Paulo! Bruno Ferrari was an excellent guide: kind, friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable.
