• 5Amazing Guide - Danilo is Exceptional

  What a wonderful, personable, and informative tour this was! Our guide, Danilo, was EXCEPTIONAL! His ability to communicate, adjust, and inform our group of friends was a great way to experience Sâo Paulo. The tour itself was set up in a very nice way to coordinate group preferences and the company is amazing - when a communication error booked us the wrong tour it was immediately handled very professionally. Danilo himself added a very personal perspective to the tour which everyone in our group greatly appreciated.

• 5Amazing Tour & Even Better Tour Guide!

  We had an absolutely wonderful tour of São Paulo with Danilo and couldn’t recommend him more highly. He took us all around the city, including Beco do Batman, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the market, and so many other amazing spots. Danilo was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating history, culture, and context throughout the day, along with plenty of funny and memorable stories that made the experience even more enjoyable. Beyond being a great guide, he was genuinely personable, kind, and accommodating from start to finish. He made us feel comfortable immediately and went above and beyond to make sure we had a fantastic experience. Truly a sweetheart and an excellent guide. If you’re visiting São Paulo, do yourself a favor and book a tour with Danilo!

• 5A perfect introduction to Sao Paulo

  A greatest hits tour of SP by car, stopping at many places to get a brief stop - just enough of everything to experience each place while being efficient with time. The guide shared a lot of historical context and current culture information to make it all interesting. Great for small groups or solo.

  I organized a private 8-hour tour of Sao Paulo for 17 people. Gregtur's communication before and after purchase was excellent, and Arthur was a fantastic guide. Van was new and clean with a very professional driver. Highly recommend.

About São Paulo

São Paulo is Brazil's largest city, a sprawling metropolis of art museums, street markets and immigrant neighbourhoods, famed for its food.

São Paulo spreads across a plateau about 750 metres above sea level, a sea of towers broken by patches of green. Avenida Paulista is the main boulevard, with the MASP art museum raised on two red concrete frames above a public square. Ibirapuera Park has curving buildings by Oscar Niemeyer, and the Pinacoteca in the old centre shows Brazilian art in a brick building beside the Jardim da Luz.

Top-ranked sights in São Paulo: Paulista Avenue (Avenida Paulista), Sao Paulo Municipal Theater (Theatro Municipal), Sé Cathedral (Catedral da Sé).
