See São Paulo in a Fun Four Hours !

Great overview of São Paulo— its neighborhoods, attractions, and culture. Our guide Neto was very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed his insights as a “Paulista”. Very international and cosmopolitan city with beautiful urban parks. The tour was a good mix of drive by and stops to walk around or take photos. We did the four-hour tour but would have done five if we had more time. We visited during extended layover at GRU airport. Neto met us at a convenient location in town and ended the tour on the side of the city closest to the airport. It was easy to get Uber to and from the airport hotel. We allowed 90 minutes each way given traffic but actual time was about an hour. Next time I transit through GRU I will plan to spend a few days. T

The time flies by on this fun tour of São Paulo

Neto was my São Paulo tour guide and he is a true Paulistano. He picked me up and we started the tour in his car. We started in the Jardins district where my hotel was. I am so glad that he drove, so that I could look at everything. He pointed out many points of interest, dining options, and shopping options. He is a very knowledgeable guide, so I learned a lot about São Paulo ‘s neighborhoods and he answered my questions. My favorite part of the tour was the Mercado Municipal/Mercadao. Neto pointed out all of the neat fruits, coffee, and other gourmet delights that were exceptional in Brazil. All of the merchants I met were so friendly and helpful. I got lots of good gifts for my family here. I had a pastel carne com queijo and a Romeo and Juliet pastel with guava and cheese. It was delicious! I bought a cherimoya there which is the best fruit I’ve ever had. It’s known as a “custard apple” and it’s the bomb! I guess I really love food because this was the most fun part of the tour. I highly recommend this tour if you’re visiting solo, with a significant other, or a small family group.

Very memorable private tour of São Paulo

Neto was our guide. His English was excellent and his knowledge of São Paulo, where he grew up, was amazing. It was a very enjoyable four hours. We hit the highlights that we wanted to see in São Paulo. My wife and I commented to each other. It would’ve been impossible for us to see as much as we did on our own during those four hours. He had a wonderful suggestion at the end of our tour for us to have more time with him and see one additional site. Overall, a very memorable day and we are very glad we made the connection. We recommend them highly.

I had fantastic tour of Sao Paolo with Ilan my tour guide.

Ilan was very knowledgeable about the city and had an impressive insight to Sao Paolo's historical background. The tour was great, at a relaxed pace but still covered a lot. He was kind to take some great pics for me. The recommendation for a local eatery in the market was an excellent choice. Truely enjoyed my short stay in the city becuz of this guided tour with Ilan. I absolutely recommend him for a guided tour in Sao Paolo.

Amazing Highlights of Sao Paolo

This was an amazing introduction to Sao Paolo. I met with Doris in the morning, she was so friendly and had tailored the day for what I requested in the booking sheet. But she was also super flexible is I said I wanted to stay somewhere longer or do something else. Now we did a bit of food tasting but she had so many suggestions that I had to do another day of just food! Everyone was so nice and it was such a great experience - would definitely recommend.
