São Paulo Day Tour

Count starts from the pickup moment, no matter where you are.

The tour coverage depends on the tour rhythm as the guide goes at your pace, and also pretty much on the pick-up and drop-off locations. The offer for 5-hour guide and vehicle availability is enough to cover the suggested itinerary tour. The tour is designed to be dynamic, and cover as many sights as possible. So there are not too many stops in order to try to get the most out of your available time. The guide must pass by the sight and explain a little bit of the history or any curiosity behind it, and drive to the next in the list, unless tourists want to have a deeper understanding, more stops for pictures, contemplation or exploration. In case tourists want to have more stops for any reason or spend more time at a sight, it should impact on the tour coverage reducing the number of seen sights. Other adversities may also slow down the tour progress such as traffic jam, and the group size that determines the size of the vehicle. Bigger vehicles assigned for bigger groups tend to be slower, and thus cover less ground and sights.

Any time available on the timetable of the "PRICE FORM". However, as São Paulo has a lot of traffic on weekdays, it's advisable to take this tour between 9:00AM and 17:00 at the most. On weekends, between 8:00AM and 18:00. It's also a good idea to avoid getting around in São Paulo on weekdays after 18:00 as traffic is awful.

No, this tour is designed to be taken in daytime as sights visited during evenings are totally different from the suggested itinerary given for this tour. We also have a "BY-NIGHT TOUR" to be taken in the evening or overnight. Click on here to be taken to the "BY-NIGHT TOUR" page.

Yes, always. Sometimes, other than the tour guide, there is also a driver depending on the number of people.

Yes, private tours are totally personalizable according to your interests and likes. Talk directly to the tour guide about your wishes or write them in the “BOOKING OBSERVATION BOX” further during the booking process.

The tour is totally private and exclusive for you and your group. No other person out of your group must join your tour, unless it's invited by you.

The tour guide themselves drives the vehicle in case of groups with up to 4 people. Groups bigger than 4 people have also a driver along with the tour guide.

The guide’s basic expenses such as meals, drinks and parking lot are paid by themselves on spot. Museums, cultural and some entertaining activities are free of charge for tour guides. This tour is not aimed to get into museums and sights that charge admission fees unless tourists wish to attend them. The guide may decline to participate in high-priced activities that fall out of the scope of a regular tour such as going to fancy restaurants, dance clubs, nightclubs or anything out of a standard tour. In these cases, if customer wishes to have the guide as a permanent companion, the guide’s expenses should be covered by the customer. Otherwise, the guide must wait for the customer just nearby to continue on the tour afterwards.

All tour guides have complete knowledge about the city sights, culture, history, and social-economic aspects of São Paulo and Brazil. Some guides are experts on architecture, street art, music, local crafts and design, fashion, cycling, hiking, photograph, business, sports, LGBTQ culture, nature, religion, shopping, gastronomy, art, nightlife, and other topics. If you want a deeper understanding of a specific topic, please write your interests in the “BOOKING OBSERVATION BOX” further during the booking process.

Once you have arrived at the airport, there will be a member of our staff or guide waiting for you at the arrivals area holding a clear sign with your name on it, they will then escort you to your waiting private vehicle.

The "tour count" of hours starts to run from the time the tour guide meets the tourist. Our staff or guide will be waiting for you even if your flight is delayed, without extra charges.

The tour can be hired for 1 person up to 26 people. It's also possible to tour in São Paulo with groups higher than 26 people, but it's not ideal as bigger buses have restrictions and limitations for getting around in town. If you have groups with more than 26 people, the ideal is to make 2 bookings splitting the group and using two vehicles plus two tour guides.
