I can strongly recommend the tour to the Paraisopolis favela (or at least former favela) and the neighboring wealthy Morumbi area. My guide Luis was fantastic and explained the history as well as the current development taking place. He patiently answered all of my questions, no matter how stupid they were! The tour is very interesting in the sense that... More

We wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our visit to Sao Paulo and our tour with Erika Castellao. Because our reason for being in Brazil was to attend a family wedding, we had only one day to see the city. Prior to our arrival in the country, we had booked a 5-hour tour with SP Tours. Scheduling... More

I was fortunate enough to be introduced to this very special agency by the Guesthouse where I stayed. Truly, I could never have dreamed of a more wonderful introduction to a city otherwise too complex to penetrate. Luis, my guide, isn't only knowledgeable about all the secret ways of his big city, he's also got a great heart, dedication and... More

My family and I spent a great weekend in São Paulo. Luis Paulo (the guide) showed us several places during 5 hours tour. I recomend “Around SP” for everyone that desire know the main places in the biggest city in Brazil.

We only had 1.5 days in SP so getting a guided tour on the first day was the best way to see SP. Our guide Doris was wonderful from the first to the last moment - very competent, articulate, enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the city, its past, present and future. It was a great experience, highly recommended!

I was in São Paulo for 4days for work. Arranging this tour was very spontaneous on my part and many thanks to Andre and Luis for their prompt response and being accommodating. My guide Cinthia speaks good English and has good historical knowledge of the city. The tour was informative and I enjoyed seeing the sights and tasting local foods.... More

We thoroughly enjoyed our day with tour guide Doris. She picked us up promptly at our hotel and we set off for a day of driving all SP. It is a crazy city for traffic so I highly recommend going with a local who knows their way around. We only had about 5 hours between business commitments so Doris gave... More

Was totally at a loss for something to do to kill 8 hrs in SP but knew I wanted to get out of the hotel and see some of the city. Emailed Around SP in the morning and they were incredibly accommodating. Luis was fabulous and so knowledgeable about his city and it's artists. Took the Graffiti Tour and was... More

We've been to Sao Paulo on a business trip and had a limited time budget. As we are geographers and wanted to get a better view on what's really going on in the city our plan was to visit a favela. We've come across Luis at "visit Sao Paulo" through the internet and got interested because of the very positive... More
