        Beautiful hike and wildlife with a view of Sao Paulo
        Luiz was a wonderful tour guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and we did a relaxed hike to look for wildlife. We found monkeys, a deer and lots of birds! The view from the top was stunning.

        Bruno was fabulous! This was a wonderful way to safely tour the city at night as a solo traveler. Bruno perfectly tailored the evening to my interests.

        Great tour, fantastic host!
        Doris was a fantastic host. Having been to the market already, she quickly came up with a new plan for our 4 hours and was really knowledgeable and personable. The trip itself offered a real insight into different foods and cultures within São Paulo and would certainly recommend Doris and the tour, me and my wife really enjoyed it.

        Great tour of SP that can be customized for your preference
        Luis is a great tour guide and knows a lot about the city. He adjusted the route for us and made my 15 yo son very happy to visit the Gallery of Rock and found the only store that was selling the t-shirt with his favorite band. We visited many places and tried new fruits and dishes during this amazing tour. Would recommend this tour if you are in SP and would like to explore and learn about it.

        Fantastic Tour of Vibrant Street Art. I want to go again!
        I loved this tour! Luis was a terrific guide, knowledgeable and warm and personal. And he’s passionate about the vibrant art that adds such life to the city, from the sides of giant buildings to garage doors in alleys. I had a terrific time and highly recommend it. I had really only known São Paulo from my balcony above the giant city. The tour brought it all down to the personal and the street level and I can’t remember how many welcoming people I met during the tour. It was a blast.

        Great experience
        Yesterday's guided tour in São Paulo with Doris as our guide was exceptional. Her fluency in English ensured that everyone, including our visitor from the US, could fully engage and enjoy the experience. Doris's knowledge and enthusiasm truly made the tour memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!

        Great tour - Fabio is the Best
        This is the tour to take when you first arrive in Sao Paulo. Our guide, Fabio, was knowledgable, friendly and very interesting. In five hours I got a great feel for the city, and now I know what to pursue in the coming days. The tour was tailored to our interests. We wanted an afternoon coffee, so Fabio took us to a great coffee shop. When you book, ask for Fabio.

        Great afternoon walk
        Great walking experience on Batman's alley. There are a few murals that are interactive if you download an app and hover the camera on your smartphone over the image and they come to life.

        Great experience! Highly recommend.
        Fabio was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the city and his English was very good. We were picked up at our hotel for a half-day private tour and followed the itinerary on the website. It was a well paced tour with some driving and a good number of stops to get out and walk around. You can have lunch at the Municipal Market so skip breakfast if your tour is in the morning.

        Five great hours in São Paulo
        I spent five amazing hours with my guide, Gilbran, seeing all of the main tourist sites along with learning about Brazil and São Paulo’s history. As a single female traveller I felt completely safe and Gilbran shared where NOT to go as a tourist as well as where to spend more time. Highlights were the municipal market and Batman’s Alley. Would highly recommend.

      Great tour! We had an 8 hour layover at Sao Paulo Airport and chose the layover Tour with Around SP. Our tour guide Fabio was awesome! We saw many of the main sites around the city but our favorite part was seeing all of the murals/street art around the city. Fabio knew all about the artists and the history of art in Sao Paulo. Make sure you ask for Fabio if you book this tour as he can also take you to the best place in the city to watch the sunset (location is a secret)!

      My colleague and I were met at the airport on time and with a friendly smile. Our tour guide Luis immediately made us feel welcomed. He led us to a very clean car and as we drove out, started talking about the incredible city of Sao Paulo. His English is excellent so he was easy to understand and very knowledgeable about the city. It was great having a guide show us around and point out interesting sights and give us a better understanding of the culture. Luis saved the best for last and took us to Villa Madelena which is a special neighborhood and when we asked where we could find unique gifts/souvenirs, he knew exactly where to take us. Overall very satisfied and would highly recommend AroundSP.

      Luis was very kind with great information. He arranged for us to taste Brazilian fruits and treats. I loved the fruit with the white flesh. Also the batman lane is a great spot for photos. I recommend this tour for anyone with a long transfer time on the airport.

      With a 12-hour layover, we decided to venture out of the airport and visit the city of Sao Paulo. After looking for the best of the best, we booked the Layover Private Tour with Around SP. Our communication with the Agency was flawless, Around SP provided us with plenty of information, clear costs, expeditious answers to our questions, etc. This Agency is well organized; they definitely know how to handle their business.

      Our guide was Adi Zegman and he was waiting for us right outside of the airport, a sign with our names in his hands and probably the friendliest smile in the city, right off the bat we felt welcomed and very comfortable. Adi explained to us about the tour, he also asked us our particular preferences and what we would like to prioritize out of our visit. The opportunity to tailor a tour is fantastic if you are interested in favoring areas such as arts, cuisine, sports or others.

      Under Adi’s careful guidance, we visit multiple areas in Sao Paulo, including the Vila Madalena, an artsy neighborhood full of art studios and wonderful murals. This is a must stop in Sao Paulo, it is interesting to see how a city can turn an unfriendly neighborhood in a piece of art that will attract tourists. We also visited the Avenida Paulista and el Monumento a las Banderas. We stopped for a walk a the Ibirapuera Park, probably the equivalent to NY’s Central Park. This park seems to be a top weekend destination for locals, plenty of families relaxing and enjoying their time.

      Adi suggested us several types of restaurants, we opted for a rodizio and following Adi’s recommendation we had a super meal, the Gauchos marching and bringing different types of meats provided us with a great dining experience. We went for a good local coffee and Adi went above and beyond to get us the best one.

      We continue our tour around the city to visit the Japanese neighborhood, the Cathedral and other areas. After a long day, Adi brought us back to the airport, just on time to catch our next flight

      Kudos to Adi for such wonderful experience!

      I saw this agency was highly graded on trip advisor and number 4 out of 115 tours in Sao Paulo... so I chose them.
      I needed a half day tour of sao Paulo and transfers to Paraty and back.
      They had excellent service. Very good English speaking drivers, and they were in touch all the time through mail and what's up.
      It is not a cheap service- but... you pay for what you get. A Responsible agency.
      Thank you very much!
