This was a great way to spend our first day and get a little familiar with the city. Monica was very nice and so knowledgeable about the history of the city, notable Brazilians, the many neighborhoods making up Sao Paulo and numerous other interesting facts. She also gave us some great ideas for other activities.
It was a great experience. Gustavo was very knowledgeable and has a wonderful personality. I traveled solo but felt very comfortable and safe during that tour.
A good panoramic view of the city if you do not have much time. You get around by car, stopping at some must see places. Our guide Carlos was very informative and accommodating.
We had a great, very knowledgeable guide in Carlos! We got to see so much of the city, learn a lot of history and culture!
Danilo was a wonderful guide. My 2 coworkers and I enjoyed the city tour. He showed us many charming highlights and about the local culture. We had a lot of good laughs too. He’s a lovely person and amazing guide. 10/10 recommend!
Spectacular tour, the guide was the best, we loved São Paulo, punctual, and the viewpoint at the end was the best, we recommend it 100%
We were out and about in São Paulo with our guide for four hours and had a really great time! He adjusted completely to our wishes and our pace, making the tour very personal and relaxed. Everything was laid-back, uncomplicated, and above all very funny. 😊 We saw a lot, learned interesting things about São Paulo, and felt comfortable at all times. You can tell immediately that he enjoys his job and truly wants his guests to have a good time. Many thanks for the great tour – we can absolutely recommend him! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I had a very enjoyable private tour of São Paulo overall. My tour guide was excellent—friendly, engaging, knowledgeable, energetic, punctual, and highly professional throughout the experience. He brought a lot of enthusiasm to the tour and shared great insights about the city, which made the experience both informative and enjoyable. The reason for 4 instead of 5 stars is mainly the value and timing. At over $300 for a four-hour tour, I felt the price was a bit high. Additionally, because of my flight schedule, I had to miss shopping at the Municipal Market in order to return to my hotel on time, which was disappointing. I had assumed the four-hour timeframe would allow for that stop, so if I had known it would be so tight, I would have scheduled an earlier pickup time. That said, I still had a wonderful experience and would recommend the tour—especially thanks to the quality of the guide.
What a pleasure to read your review! 😊 We’re delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable time exploring São Paulo and that your guide made such a positive impression. Knowing that their enthusiasm, professionalism, and knowledge helped make your visit both informative and enjoyable truly means a lot to us. Thank you as well for sharing your thoughts about the tour duration. We completely understand your wish to have had more time to explore the Municipal Market, and we appreciate you sharing that perspective. Comments like yours help us better guide future travelers when planning their time in the city. It means even more to us that, despite this, you would recommend the tour and left with such positive memories of your experience. Thank you for choosing to discover São Paulo with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in Brazil! 🇧🇷
Carlos Martínez is an extraordinary guide, who helps you to know the city in a wonderful way. It has been the best choice to take the tour with them as I had little time to enjoy the city!
Muchas gracias por tu comentario. ¡Nos alegra mucho saber que disfrutaste del tour y que Carlos hizo que tu experiencia en São Paulo fuera aún más especial! 🌆 Es genial saber que, aunque tenías poco tiempo, pudimos mostrarte lo mejor de la ciudad. ¡Hasta la próxima! 🙌
