Great café meeting point. Just my husband and so had booked on the tour so had the excellent, knowledgeable, careful, attentive guide, Roberto to ourselves. Tour was longer and more extensive than I had prepared for, not having ridden a bike for years and not having worn cycling shorts! The best way to see such a large city. Highly recommend. Only slight complaint was that the helmets were rather uncomfortable with no or little padding on the forehead.

Fantastic ride around Sao Paulo with Roberto who showed us so many places we wouldn't have found otherwise and gave us so much information about the city. He had great English which really helped. Highly recommended Be aware it's a long tour (3.5 hours, ~25km).
Renato was an excellent guide. He is very kind and extremely informative. We loved learning about the street art and various monuments along the way. Biking was a fun way to explore the city and he was very conscientious of us as we traversed various roads. Highly recommend!
I actually did a different bike tour due to construction. Our guide Pedro was super nice, knowledgeable, and helpful! We saw many sights on Pallista Avenue and down in the Centro area. We covered a lot of ground, but it was an easy pace with mostly downhill streets. Taking the subway back was a bonus and a relief!!! 🤣
This is a great tour! The guide takes your ability into consideration and helps you through the experience. The bike works! A fun time for sure, especially if you are a cyclist!
Great bike trip around the city. Pablo and the other man were super helpful and watched over us well. Got to experience the city. Definitely some hills but doable. Great time!
Loved cycling around with Pedro . He is a top man. The cycling was fairly gentle.
We had a BLAST!!! with Lucas and another tour participant. Lucas was very patient with us. He answered all our questions with perfect English. He was fun, engaging, knowledgeable, and professional. We made an incredible memory riding bike in SP, even in the Metro!!! Highly recommended. Request Lucas. He is the best!
Had an excellent experience with Pedro! He was super kind, had a nice humor and took me through the city center of São Paulo and was extremely knowledgeable about the history, architecture and politics that shaped the city. I am Brazilian myself and have been to São Paulo before, still this tour showed me a lot of new things and gave me new perspectives about the city. 100% recommend!
We were fortunate to explore the city with Juliana. To be honest, it felt like we were touring with a knowledgeable friend. We had an amazing time exploring, and the tour lasted more than three hours, as Juliana kindly showed us the fruit market, which excited us greatly. Obrigado!
A great tour with a super friendly guide that was welcoming and has deep knowledge of the culture and history of São Paulo and Brazil. Pedro gave us a personal and insightful tour in a safe way biking around the crazy streets of the city!
Great tour. Learned a lot about the city and got a pretty good overview of São Paulo on a very leisurely ride. Only thing I would improve is to add a little more street art in other areas as well
For a solo traveler this is a great way to quickly vibe out the city. In my case the tour guide was very knowledgeable, kind and helpful. Just keep in mind that it is a long-ish tour (just over 3 hours) and São Paulo has a lot of elevation changes, so you have to be in decent shape to make it through.
This was absolutely an amazing trip. Roberto, our guide, was excellent. He was laid back and knowledgeable. Super helpful. And took the time to explore the places. We far exceeded the tour time limit as none of us were in a hurry and got our monies worth. There was a mishap when we started as the tour company forgot to tell him that he has folks waiting for him. We were celebrating a birthday and the long wait was making me grumpy. Despite that I give a 5 star review because of Roberto. And the places we visited, of course. The course involved a bunch of hills and so be prepared for it. But you haven’t been to São Paulo if you haven’t done this. And ask for Roberto as he is the best part of the tour.
It was an amazing experience and will learn a lot from the tour guides giving a new outlook at São Paulo and the community around
It was very informative, and we covered a large area in Sao Paulo. The guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and I really enjoyed seeing the street art by bike. Overall, it was a great experience and I’d rate it 5 out of 5.
Arthur was a 10/10 tour guide! We did exactly what we set out to do - see street art and explore the park. He explained things well and made it fun. We would recommend this tour, especially if he's guiding it. The one thing to note if you are looking to book on a Monday, it looks a little different than what is laid out in the summary on TripAdvisor. As the coffee/tea shop that they normally go to is closed on Mondays, we did not stop there, and because the Museu Afro Brasil is closed on Mondays, as well, we did not go inside.
The tour was excellent from start to finish. Lucas was perfect: attentive, passionate, and always making sure the experience was unique. Thanks to him, I discovered truly charming places and learned so many interesting things. His enthusiasm and kindness really made a difference — he’s clearly the main strength of this tour. Thank you, Lucas, for this wonderful moment!
The guide was very kind and knowledgeable, and it was amazing to experience so much of the city in just a few hours! I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for an active and alternative way of seeing more of São Paulo.
Wonderful tour of Sao Paulo. The guide was very knowledgable and adjusted the route according to interest. He also gave additional tips about the city.
Wonderful tour of Sao Paulo to see the street art and the park! Pedro had a lot of knowledge to share and also provided some local tips for restaurants and carnival.
Excellent tour with Pedro who is extremely knowledgeable about the city. We covered a lot during the 3 hours from park to the Batman arty area. The ride is easy and the bikes are good
I had a great tour.. we went across very different neighborhoods and saw a lot. Jardims, Pinheiros, Ibirapuera park, Beco de Batman. Pedro who was the guide for this tour, was extremely nice and knowledgeable. I learned a lot about the city of SP and Brazilian history... it was rich and it really made my day 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Great tour, nice to be active whilst exploring the city. Our guide Pedro was very attentive and shared loads of interesting facts about SP. The bike ride was easy, with decent cycling lanes and plenty of stops.
What an incredible tour of amazing street art, parks, and all of the excitement of São Paulo! Pedro was a knowledgeable and fun guide who took extra care to ensure a fantastic tour. I highly recommend seeing the city on this bike tour with Pedro!
We spent an amazing several hours exploring São Paulo by bike, learning about the fascinating history of the city and appreciating the huge street art murals on the sides of buildings and other constructions. Key to this whole experience was our guide Arthur, who was the embodiment of Brasil: positive, fun, helpful, as well as being an excellent guide. He gave us a brief history of Brasil, which informed our tour and made us appreciate it all the more, as we now knew the context of what we were seeing. Arthur is a talented tour guide and a lot of fun to hang out with during the experience. Highly recommended… you won’t be disappointed!
The small cafe that we meet to begin the tour is quaint with offers of fresh made cakes, coffee and teas. The tour was organized, our guide was full of historical info and tid bits of today's life in Sao Paulo. A doable ride however you must be agile to ride between pedestrians And cars
The bike tour was awesome. We had a lot of fun, covered much more than we could have on our own, and our guide Arthur was fun and knowledgeable about all the sights and their history.
Very enjoyed the experience - was very nice to cycle through Ibirapuera park with Lucas as he gave great insight into living in São Paulo as well as the history of areas we visited.
Had a great time on the graffiti bike tour. Lucas gave great insight into the history of Sao Paulo as well as life in the city. Had a lot of fun, would definitely recommend.
Such a fun tour! It is a great way to see the city and learn some history. Our guide Lucas was so nice and took extra care to make sure we were together and safe crossing intersections. Highly recommend!
Julianna was a great host. She navigated the roads clearly and the paths made the ride safe to travel. I especially enjoyed the street art and her perspective on the city’s history and current state.
Great experience. Arthur is a great guide, very knowledgeable about São Paulo, Brazil and many countries he visited before. I enjoyed more than 3 hours of very different impressions of SP. Arthur guided us to various art and graffiti places, we cycled Paulista Avenue and through SP biggest park. I will come back to do another tour under his guidance. Arthur, thank you so much.
Arthur was our guide and was amazing!!!! He gave us so much history about everything ! The bike ride was a great way to see the city! I felt safe and it wasn’t too challenging!!! Batman Alley was so cool and Ibipuerta (sp) park was absolutely beautiful!!!!!! I highly recommend this tour - although I’m sure other guides are good too - ARTHUR was amazing!!!
I was a little hesitant because I wanted to know more than just street art, however the tour guide Arthur, did it for me. We talk and he explained the culture not just the beautiful art pieces. He took us on a trip through beautiful areas, we got to know the surroundings. The bikes were pretty good. Another thing, the tour guide did everything in his power to make us feel good he went above and beyond, I’m more than thankful for this experience, glad I did it and definitely recommend anyone to try it out.
Nice tour of many neighborhoods, a big urban park, and street art. Takes place in a fun part of the city with a large part having dedicated bike lanes.
I was lucky enough to have a private tour. Lucas was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the artists and the city of Sao Paulo overall. I feel like a saw a lot of the city in a short period of time, which was perfect for my overall travel schedule.
It was a lovely bicycle tour with our guides that shows us around the city. We came around Sao Paulo and heard about stories about the city.
Amazing! Great guides and tour! The contact before was perfect too. I sugest to tourists that staying far away that should plan to arrive fifteen minutes in advance because vehicle's traffic in São Paulo is intense. Great job guys!
Amazing tour! We learned a lot about the art scene as well as Sao Paulo's history. Beautiful ride through the park as well.
Amazing tour!! I already knew the area, but not with so much accurate information. Definitely recommend it!!!
After seeing how extreme SP traffic is, I decided to take a bike tour instead of being in a vehicle. It was a great decision! Renato was a great guide and is English was excellent. The street art was beautiful and we had an opportunity to go to a massive inner city park. The bikes were in great condition and we were on bike paths most of the time. Biking is the easiest way to get around a city congested by vehicles. I am very happy I took this tour and would highly recommend it to anyone!
I had a good time spent with the UrbanBike SP, it's the right decision and recommended option to explore the big city with fun & safe! The cycling routes are well planned from the historical area, street arts and the green park thanks to our 2 knowledgeable & caring tour guides (Juliana & Johnny) to make my trip to SP a worth visiting. 2 thumbs up 👍🏼👍🏼
Digging into the culture, and the back alleys of São Paulo, with the most intelligent and caring guide, was one of the highlights of our trip
Fantastic way to spend 4 hours in São Paulo. There is so much street art to be seen you really will not be disappointed. The riding is not difficult but the distance covered and you get a workout and you get a great tour of the art scene as well as sights of Sao Pailo along the way. We took in the main park as part of the trip and with all the cycle paths through the city it was easy to get around without having to be in traffic. Max our guide was exceptional and I cannot recommend this tour enough
Very relaxed, fun and entertaining tour. Excellent way to cover ‘bigger’ part of the city without getting tired. Besides amazing street art you will see a lot of other things. In our case we did more then the program based on our interest and questions. Good way to start your visit to SP as you get a better understanding of the city.
We had a great afternoon with Max guiding us. Max was kind, friendly and knowledgeable and with a great sense of humour was a perfect guide. Add to that the fact that they adjusted the hours to allow us to do the tour as our flight arrived late. Neither of us have cycled much recently but the trip to MAU was easy. Highly recommended and a full five stars! Thanks Max- you will always be in our memories of São Paulo.
Our bike tour of Sao Paulo was amazing if not a bit stressful. Max, our guide, was friendly, helpful, and pretty knowledgeable, but there were problems. He kept leaving us behind on technical or physically difficult sections of the tour. He would eventually wait for us, but still. The technical portions - navigating through busy Sao Paulo streets and traffic - were less than fun. Often points of interest were hidden behind trees and buildings. We would then be able to see them while riding...while dodging potholes and traffic. And the great big downhill we enjoyed at the start of tour was of course a great big uphill at the end of our tour. It doesn't help that we apparently completed the tour faster than any previous tour our guide had done. All in all, I felt like we definitely got a great overview of the city. The Museo Aberto de Arte Urbano - a mile or two of long highway underpasses with street art on both sides of each pillar - was especially awesome. I'd recommend the tour, but only if you're up for it :)
Renato was our guide on this fantastic bike tour of Sao Paolo. We were lucky enough to be the only people on the tour and he really took time to show us not only the street art but all the diverse aspects of this interesting metropolis. Renato spoke outstanding English, had an incredible knowledge of the city, it's history and it's culture and simply couldn't have been more considerate, enthusiastic or accommodating. We ran way over time and had the opportunity to ask him a million questions. Cant recommend this highly enough!
Great tour in which you get to see other things then the usual spots. Cycling was not dangerous because of the bike lanes. Our guide had so much to tell about his place.
