We visited really cool places, like Dengo chocolates, Batman Alley, Trianon parque, Ibirapuera parque, old downtown, and new downtown. It was a nice overview of the city, but it was a longer tour than I would have liked.

My friend and I booked this tour to see the main sights of São Paulo. We were not disappointed. We were driven around the city in a comfortable van with our guide Juan. Juan was very knowledgeable and super friendly. He demonstrated a concern with everyone’s comfort and safety, while ensuring that everyone was getting the most out of his explanations of the sights. This was a 7-hour tour. Lunch is not included in the price, but we did stop for about 50 minutes at a buffet restaurant with very tasty selections for those who wanted to buy lunch. I cannot recommend this tour enough for folks wanting a general introduction to the city, its history and culture.

I did the tour on yesterday's date - independence day - and it was very nice. We visited places like Beco de Batman and the MAC belvedere of the University of São Paulo. The guide Deborah presented himself with a lot of historical knowledge and the current life of the city, in addition to being a fun person and of charming laughter. I'll tell my friends when they come. Congratulations to the GregTour team!

Bruno Ferrari was an amazing guide! He packed so much content in just a few hours and gave us such a detailed overview of the Sao Paolo history. I felt like I didn’t need any other tours while in Sao Paolo because he covered it all! The driver Ronaldo was also great. He managed to give us a bonus stop and provided water on a very hot day. Thank you both for an amazing experience!

Lots of variety seeing the city from the side if old and new, lots of hopping on and off the bus . Guide Bruno Ferrari and driver Ronaldo were amazing and knowledgeable.
Very interesting, a very good tour, everything was perfect, the guide Bruno Ferrari was very nice, everything was perfect.
Our guide, Bruno Ferrari is amazing. He is a very knowledgeable expert of the local sights in SaoPao and also a passionate history buff that allowed him to add extra color on the beautiful history of Brazil. The 7 hour tour was an outstanding teaser on all of São Paulo that encouraged me to want to visit this city again. Taking the tour on the weekend was also the best option as the traffic is not as heavy. Together with our expert and safe driver, Reinaldo, we rode in a very comfortable and spacious Mercedes van. Tudo Bem! Obrigado!
