Due to rain we arranged to do a walking tour as opposed to a bicycle tour. They were super accommodating by allowing us this opportunity. Pedro, our guide, was so informative and engaging - we really enjoyed learning about downtown Sao Paulo and really enjoyed the restaurant recommendation too. Thank you for an interesting 4 hours. We would highly recommend them.

This was an excellent tour. I enjoy riding bikes, and riding around central São Paulo seeing the sights and hearing Pedro's very informative commentary was a top rated experience for me. I enjoyed seeing the buildings, the murals, the people.
Great guides - nice and kept us safe. Had a fun time and lots of exercise. Saw the city and experienced the city.
A must-do bike tour in São Paulo. This tour gave us a fantastic overview of the city and a real feel for everything São Paulo has to offer. Pedro was a wonderful guide: friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about his city. He made the whole 3-hour tour fun, engaging, and very easy to enjoy. The small group size was a big plus, creating a relaxed atmosphere with great conversation and lots of opportunities to interact directly with our guide. Highly recommended.
The tour goes along Paulista avenue to the old centre, most of the interesting buildings you will see and can also be visited, take your time and have a nice tour with friendly guides
Robert was a good tour guide. It was interesting and good exercise. Seeing Sao Paulo thru his eyes, the city and it’s history came alive.
Wonderful tour! Seen a lot of the city with a friendly guide and good bikes. The tour is doable for evrery age and person. Only recommendation would be more variation of information. Overall super experience!
Experience started off windy but eventually everything ended up well with the exception of the mix up with the bikes...we where suppose to.have 4 electric bikes but was only supplied w 1...Arthur was very informative and polite. Sao Paulo is extremely busy and congested but Arthur made sure we went on safe bike trails in the street. We visited everything that was included in the tour. One of the other guest electric bike died, Arthur called everyone a Uber, because of the last route the hill was super steep and by that afternoon everyone was tired. Also he took us to a few shops in Japanese district to try authentic Brazil pastries. We'll the weather disrupt a few things it was no big issues overall. I recommend this tour. However I would suggest a electric bike due to some of the hills.
Great way to see more of the city than you would with a walking tour. Our guide was great and gave us a unique perspective into Sao Paulo that we never would have had. Good for solo travellers too
The pace was comfortable, making it enjoyable whether you’re a regular cyclist or just looking for a casual ride. It felt like the perfect way to see the city from a different perspective, while still being active and outdoors. I came away with a deeper appreciation for São Paulo and its culture. Highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting the city – it’s a must-do if you want to combine adventure with learning!
Lucas is the best. He was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We loved every minute of our tour and would highly recommend.
I had a great time on the tour of Sao Paolo Arthur is very knowledgeable of Brazil and a very interesting person. He was also very willing to take photos and stop for me when I wanted to take them.
The best 3 hours spent in Sao Paolo. I was i a business trip and before taking my flight I had to decide what to see and visit. Biking was easy and fun and I learned a lot abour Brazil
I highly recommend this tour. Pedro was friendly , conscientious and has a great sense of humor, born in SP he has a vast knowledge of the city with personal stories highlights were the panaramic views from the hi line and the live music pulsing from the old tow bars. Good intro to the city
My tour guide Pedro was amazing! I was the only person to show up and he made the ride special. We biked for 4 hours and saw so many sites. He was very knowledgeable. I highly recommend.
Great tour, fun historic gossip and awesome views. It made me love bikes (and São Paulo) even more! *Better if you're comfy biking*
Great tour, excellent for getting to know the city, Pedro was a great guide with a lot of patiance, also the coffee meeting point is great
I went on a ride with Arthur today and the bike tour was in English. It was such a great time to see many sites in the city of São Paulo! We went longer than three hours - Arthur is very proud of his city, its culture, and its history. I learned a lot, got a great workout, and saw much more of the city than I ever could have walking around on my own. The bike is an 8-speed hybrid, easy to ride, and perfect for this tour type. São Paulo is very bike friendly with bike lanes everywhere. The stop for lunch in the old town area was a really cool local restaurant with local food available. At the end, Arthur provided a lot of local recommendations (via WhatsApp) like a good concierge. Definitely recommend!
This was the best tour. For my first day in São Paolo, I saw so much and got great recommendations for food and things to do in the city next time. I would take this tour again tomorrow! Arthur was a great tour guide and the meeting place had great drinks and atmosphere. Get there early to enjoy a coffee and pão de queijo. I also recommend taking the tour on a weekend because of the markets happening in the city. Highly recommend!!
This was an amazing tour of the city, Arthur was a great guide! I was touring on a Sunday, which ended up being the perfect day to go with so much going on in the city. Get there early to enjoy the coffee shop you meet at, it has great juice, tea, coffee, and pastries. I would take this tour again the next time I’m in São Paolo, it was so great.
I went on a bike tour during a business trip to São Paulo, and it was absolutely fantastic! Exploring the city by bike allowed me to see São Paulo from a unique perspective, beyond the typical tourist spots. Our guide was knowledgeable and made each stop interesting, highlighting the city’s history, culture, and hidden gems. The tour was both safe and enjoyable, with well-planned routes that let us experience the vibrancy of São Paulo up close. I highly recommend it for anyone looking to explore the city in a fun, active way!
Arthur is an amazing person. He can tell you lots of history about Sao Paulo. Is really patience, pays attention always at you, always having security above everything! He made me change my mind about Sao Paulo. I felt really secure by riding around in the bike, getting lots of pictures, and get the full Sao Paulo adventure. The rain made us to get a stop by, where I ate Cupuaçu. Delicious! After that, we kept riding back to the start place. I really recommend to take this tour! You get to know lots of places, not worrying about where to park the car, or the bus. Or getting tired too fast because of walking. It was amazing! Thanks again, I really enjoyed the tour!
Amazing experience with Arthur and Urban Bike across Sao Paulo. I had just got off the plane and had the scheduled tour and the team was able to adapt the phase and places to visit according to my speed. There was plenty of time to rest, take pictures and enjoy the bike tour. Thank you!
Arthur was great. Ride was easy even though São Paulo is a very busy city. Enjoy the street art and the park. Better to go during the week when it’s less busy as you are sharing the road with pedestrians.
A great experience. I’d recommend this tour if you want a little exercise and a fun way to see a lot of side of SP. Our guide was great. I always felt safe. No issues.
An original way to get to know São Paulo. Arthur is always concerned that the experience is pleasant. He takes care of his clients and makes the excursion enjoyable. In our case, a very strong storm fell in the middle of the excursion and he was flexible and creative enough to set up an alternative plan to continue getting to know the city and its customs.
Amazing relaxing ride ! Entertaining guide who knows what he is talking about … from start till end super nice ! Would do it again as Arthur’s has so much knowledge and entertaining to listen too!
Don’t miss this adventure! The perfect amount of history, political landscape and São Paulo culture intertwined with a safe bike ride through the heart of the city. We saw parks, churches, Japan Town, Korea Town and more- you would never see this much on foot! Juliana was a complete delight. Excellent English and keeps the tour flexible so you can stop for treats, tea or beer and enjoy the day even more. We have taken bike tours around the world and this is a top five for sure!
I decided to do a bike tour so I could explore some popular places in São Paulo safely as a solo adventure. Arthur was the tour guide and was exactly what I was hoping for. He is very knowledgeable about the history of São Paulo, as well as current facts about the area. Arthur made learning and seeing some of the things São Paulo has to offer fun and informative. Highly recommend!
IT was a wonderful experience. Arthur spoke wonderfully about Sao Paulo. Cycling whith him was a real pleasure. I felt safe and taken care of. I would recommend to anyone!
Great experience to get to know the city and the main tourist attractions, particularly in our case since we had very little time to do it. Pedro was super friendly, punctual, and the tour was enjoyable, sharing history full of fun facts.
Amazing experience. I loved to know and learn more about São Paulo with Pedro’s impeccable guide!
We had a tour of Pedro. He spoke good English, was knowledgeable, made jokes and created a good atmosphere. He responded to the needs of the group. He not only had historical information but also taught us some culture. Thanks Pedro!
Great experience with Arthur! A super nice guide who knows the city like his pocket. Lots of interesting facts to tell about local history! I recommend the bike tour that really helps to understand the geography of the center, something that is complicated by uber or metro. Arthur took the time to stop whenever I wanted to take a picture or drink a coconut agua;) I highly recommend!
Fun to do with a good English speaking guide. Not too heavy because back up we took the subway. Very friendly people in the coffee bar where you leave and come back. Definitely recommended if you want to do something different when you are in Sao Paulo.
Lucas good guide, friendly, smiling and very responsible, takes you safely around the city, adapts to situations, to avoid places you know and improvises for good of the tour
Super cool bike tour! We were lucky enough to be on Sunday and that Roberto was our guide. He speaks good English. Takes your time. Knows a lot and interesting things to tell. On Sundays, lanes are closed and open to cyclists. The tour is varied and you get a good impression of the mega-big city that is San Paulo. We enjoyed it! Roberto thank you!
On Sundays, streets in São Paulo are car-free and turned into city parks. A great experience to cycle through the city on that day! Pedro and his team accompanied us in a cozy atmosphere during the trip. We have seen a lot and learned a lot about the origin and development of the city. We enjoyed ourselves enormously and did not feel unsafe for a moment. Huge thanks Pedro and Team!
Great experience, Pedro chose a suggestive and captivating route, adding interesting details about the attractions visited. His tour is definitely a great way to visit Sao Paulo.
Fue una experiencia increíble, lo recomiendo completamente. Pedro nuestro guía fue genial. Tenía muy poco tiempo para visitar lugares y con este tour pude ver cosas interesantes y aprender de la cultura.
The best way to get to know San Pablo is by bicycle and with Arthur. The tour is very fun and varied. I really liked it and recommend doing it on the first day of visiting the city.
Very interesting and fun bike ride! Arthur talks about his city with great enthusiasm. Learned a lot about the city and culture.
It is a magnificent tour gives you a very clear view of the main tourist attractions; Arthur is an excellent Guide, very Pro and with a lot of knowledge of the history of Brazil; it is also very friendly and facilitated the narrated stay to several tourist sites, after explaining the history of each place. It is a super recommended tour and is made easy and entertaining walking with the bike
Arthur is a great Guide, I got to know several tourist places in São Paulo thanks to the tour, it also helps you take pictures and tells the story of the places
