10 Bus Tours in Sao Paulo That You Shouldn't Miss

March 20, 2022 Alida England

The largest city in South America, Sao Paulo’s cuisine and art is as multinational as its diverse population of 10 million. With the restaurants of the Jardins district serving every food imaginable to diners from around the world, you wouldn’t be out of place going to Sao Paulo just for the dining. But you’d be missing out on world-class museums, diverse and vibrant neighborhood tours, and crazy-good shopping.

We had several hours to kill at the airport before our connnecting flight. Our guide picked us up at the airport. His English was very good. He was very knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed all of the interesting details he gave us of the history of the city. We were a little nervous about getting in a car with a complete stranger, but after we met him we felt completely at ease.
