Great way to see São Paulo’s highlights! - My friendly, knowledgeable and personable tour guide Fabio gave an excellent tour of São Paulo. He showed me the highlights of the city, giving me excellent tips on which attractions to visit on my own free time. Fabio was a fantastic photographer, in addition to being a safe and skilled driver while navigating the busy streets of São Paulo. Some of the places we visited: Catedral Da Se, Liberdade, Beato Jose de Anchieta History Museum, Central Market, Batman’s Alley, Avenida Paulista, Ibirapuera Park, and the rooftop of the Museum of Contemporary Art that had sweeping views of the city. This tour is a fantastic way to visit some of São Paulo’s primary attractions if you’re short on time. Highly recommended!

A hugely successful Sao Paolo tour - What a magnificent personal Sao Paolo tour from guide Bruno Ferrari. How could one ask for more, when Bruno drove far out of town to collect us - and then after a wonderful tour experience took both of us all the way back to our door. In between the journeys (and during the drives, too) Bruno filled our heads with so much knowledgeable information, entertainment and advice of such high order that we were spellbound. His friendly and relaxed conversational style (and comfortable command of English) kept us at ease throughout. His care and attention during our walks kept us feeling calm and secure at all times. His good- humour, sharp intelligence and infectious enthusiasm gave us an informative and altogether delightful day that enabled us to absorb a broad grasp of Sao Paolo's riches. He gave us a broad platform of awareness that leaves us with a huge desire to learn more and to come back to Greg Tur again for more visits and explorations. Thank you so much Mr Ferrari. We look forward to seeing you again.

Suggest - I suggest when leaving the Municipal Theatre and before going to the Shopping Light, make a visit to Pça Ramos de Azevedo (architect of the Municipal Theatre and other historic buildings of the city), beautiful!! The script is spectacular! Congratulations!

Sao Paulo in 5 hours highly recommended! - Our visit to the city of Sao Paulo, could not be better, as thanks to Osvaldo Silva and his Gregtur Tourism Agency, we took a 5 hour tour to know the most important of this great city, we were pleased to have Gabriel as a guide, he picked us up very punctually at the hotel, and with a lot of patience with the traffic of the city and with the children, he took us to know the Metropolitan Cathedral, the historic center, the Municipal theater, Patio do Colegio, the Japanese Quarter, Avenida Paulista, Beco do Batman, among many other points of interest, as well as he was telling us the history of Brazil and São Paulo. I recommend them, very serious and excellent Service.

Disappointing - I would have given 5 stars if the tour operator had told me that the purring kitty at the MAC museum was not on display. This was one of the main attractions I wanted to see and even emailed the operator with my preferences. The saving grace was Laura, our guide. She immediately told us that the kitty was not on display. I feel like the $250 price for two was a bit much. Admittedly, the traffic from the airport to Sao Paulo was insane and we did just "drive by" some attractions. Laura did take us to Batman Alley (fascinating) and we stopped at the MAC museum (very small) and saw the space where the purring kitty was. Also, skip the metropolitan cathedral; it is filled with the homeless on the steps and they have taken over the area. There was a specific place I wanted to stop to buy a wood bowl and darned if she didn't take us there. Again, Laura was great.
