I'd like to say that Roberto, my tour guide, was excellent in every way! He knew so much about all the places we visited and was happy to change his plans to meet ours when needed. I would recommend him without doubt to anyone visiting Sao Paulo.

Great way to get a taste of the place

Pete_C, Apr 2024

Great way to get a feel for the city in a few hours. Roberto our guide was friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. It gave us a good taste and insight into what São Paulo is all about

A decent tour for the price

Lori_K, Apr 2024

It was good to have a guided tour of the city and I appreciated being picked up and dropped off at airport. It was advertised as a private tour but we picked up another solo traveler. The guide was nice but didn’t offer alot of information about the city besides a few short bits of info at each of the stops. It may have been because the other traveler didn’t understand English very much. Overall it was a decent value for the money but could have been better.

Driver was suppose to...

Lingling, Apr 2024

Driver was suppose to pick up at 9 am for extra 120 us but never show up waited until 1045 am and has to do a tour on my own with a taxi don’t remember this tour to anyone very disappointed

New to the city

Dorian_L, Mar 2024

I was new to the city of São Paulo. Great experience. Tour guide was friendly and informative. Loved it

Horrible

Constantine_S, Feb 2024

The tour guide was the only thing memorable he was a nice man. But the tour offered by Viator for the price paid is horrible. I am letting other tourists know not to waste your money!

Nice tour guide, great day!

Noemie_P, Feb 2024

Our guide Roberto was very nice and very knowledgeable of his city. We got to see a lot, but without being rushed. I highly recommend this tour :)

Terrible experience

Ryan_B, Dec 2023

Terrible. Tour guide did not show up. Contact information did not work. After 1-hour I gave up. Your did not happen. Refund requested.

Very Nice experience

Mara_E, Nov 2023

Very flexible to pick me up in a different your because i had a delaye of my flight. The tour and the guide was Very nice.

For the cost and the tour not worth it

Gustavo_T, Aug 2023

I was charged too much for this tour! Found out that People that did the same tour paid $125.00 and I paid $200.00 and it was a private tour with a car. I was ripped off our should I say charged to much. Why did you charge me $200.00 and its suppose to be 125.00 for a Private tour. You shouldnt take advantage of people. Also I missed alot of sights that my tour guide did not take me too. this tour was only 3 or 4 hours. and it said on the advertisement that it was going to be about 5 to 6 hours. I missed alot of places that I wanted to see. I was not happy with this whole experience . I will not use you again and refer anyone to this site. Paid $200 and it was $125.00 Private tour and car thats a big difference. II was ripped off.

The best in just 5 hours!

Tessa_O, Aug 2023

Buyer Beware!

Elizabeth_Z, Aug 2023

Buyer beware. I booked this excursion 5 hours before flight was cancelled and I could not make it to the destination. No understanding by Viator or the local operator. No refund and no credit.

A great way to see the city

adam, Aug 2023

Roberto is an excellent guide. I had a 14 hour layover in Sao Paulo and this was an excellent way to be sure to see a good deal of the city without having to worry about safety or language concerns. Well worth the money!

Must try guided tour

rachanapriya, Apr 2023

Roberto was really knowledgeable about the city. He was patient with us through the tour and allowed us to spend time in places without hurrying us. He was kind and considerate on special requests that came from the group. Comfortable drive. Very safe and convenient trip. Must try.

A wonderful day in wet São Paulo

Edward_B, Jan 2023

Although it was raining much of the time, the tour was meaningful and fulfilling. Our guide was fantastic!

The one tour to take.

Gabriel_K, Nov 2022

Roberto, our guide, spoke great English and made the tour priceless with his commentary and stories. We were allowed to customize the experience by deciding what we all wanted to see. Overall, a great tour of the city. Highly recommend!!!

Enjoyed the market! I would’ve liked to spend more time in the Japanese section, water bottles on the tour would’ve been nice.
