“Mi è davvero piaciuto molto questo tour. È stato comodo e informativo. Gil (la nostra guida) è una persona molto colta che ha riassunto per noi la storia e la cultura brasiliana con la sua buona conoscenza, è stato puntuale, cordiale e ha anche un'ottima padronanza dell'inglese e dello spagnolo. Gil ci ha scattato bellissime foto panoramiche in luoghi iconici della città e abbiamo visitato un mercato dove abbiamo potuto apprezzare l'enorme varietà di frutti mai visti prima che l'Amazzonia produce. Siamo molto felici di aver potuto scoprire San Paolo con questo tour.”

A practical review of São Paulo’s private five-hour tour, with Batman Alley, fruit tasting, Ibirapuera Park, history, art, and flexible pickup.
“I had to stay in São Paulo for a day due to a missed connection and booked Isaac last minute, in the morning. It was the best decision. Isaac is very friendly, speaks English, Portuguese and Spanish and is very knowledgeable about sights, history, art and architecture. We agreed on visiting the sights I was interested and I had the best day. He picked me up and dropped me at the airport and was checking the time as traffic can be chaotic! It all worked really well, and I’m glad I decided to do this city tour.”
Review of São Paulo’s private city tour, with airport pickup, MAC views, Paulista Avenue, Batman’s Alley, Ibirapuera Park, and more.
“We booked a tour with Danilo in December 2024, and it was a highlight of our trip! He was kind, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about São Paulo’s history and culture. We started at Sesc Avenida Paulista for stunning rooftop views, then explored the colorful Beco do Batman, stopping for a delicious, no-fuss kilo lunch. Danilo was so patient, letting my 9-year-old pet every cat and waiting while I picked out prints from local artists. Driving through historic neighborhoods, he shared fascinating stories, making the city come alive. We even saw the famous whale sculpture at Faria Lima. Knowing São Paulo is famous for pizza, he thoughtfully recommended a fantastic spot…”

“Arthur’s guidance was great. He combined in his explanations the history, architecture, art, culture, and also a lot of information regarding gay history and current life in Sao Paulo. We visited with him interesting spots in the city, including the MASP museum, had together a Cachaca tasting experience in a beautiful store and ate lunch together. The tour was well organized and customized to our preferences, with a comfortable private van and an attentive driver accompanying us along the day. We definitely recommend this tour!!”
