Top 10 City Tours in Sao Paulo, State of Sao Paulo (SP)

November 21, 2021 Alice Mieles

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.

Everything was a s described. We had an enjoyable time. My only suggestion for the operators is that for this price you could include at least a couple of drinks and a snack on the beach.

Very nice experience. I took the tour on a Sunday in the middle of the pandemics and it was more than I could expect. We cover almost all the landmarks in the historic center. My guide Mauricio was very friendly and helpful. He has a great knowledge of his country and city´s history. Highly recommended.

Nice trip to the country side close by São Paulo - the so called "little" Switzerland gives you the opportunity to forget the big city and relax with a nice view on approx. 2'000 meters above sea level. Our driver Luciano did a good job explaining in English, what the history of São Paulo is about and brought us safely back to out hotel (after almost 12 hours on the road:)).

I had Neto as a tour guide for my city tour and he was AMAZING!!! he is unbelievably smart about Brazil and history/travel in general. he took us to a great breakfast spot, to see an incredible view on the top of the museum and best tour of the market where he helped us negotiate prices for fruits and taste the best pastel i had during my time in Brazil!! He was also very open to go to whatever other spots we were interested in visiting. He was the most genuine, patient, and funniest guide I've had in such a long time! He maximized time, didn't rush us back, and took amazing pictures of my group and i!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!

I would like to thank my Guide (Mauro) for his flexibility, patience and knowledgeable explanations. Both Guaruya and Santos are worthwhile visiting from São-Paulo as the trip is not too long. Salt&City Tours Boss (Felipe) was very helpful while booking my trip, he adapted to my needs and tailored my tour consequently.
