Thanks Doris!
We did two tours with Gregtur: a food tour on Saturday and a city tour with airport drop off on Sunday. Both days we got Doris as our guide and she made our time in São Paulo wonderful! On both tours she gave us so much information about not only the city but the culture and history. I would absolutely recommend both tours to anyone visiting SP!

Tasting Sao Paulo
It was a wonderful day. Doris is a delight. We loved sampling the local food and seeing things we would not have been able to without her expert.
Response from the operator: It’s great to hear that you enjoyed your day with Doris! The gastronomy of São Paulo is always a unique experience, and she makes sure to show the best of the city! We hope to see you again soon! 🥳🍽

Fabulous Gastronomic Tour of Sao Paulo
We had a private gastronomic tour of São Paulo with our guide, Doris. The tour was outstanding and we were able to try many Brazilian staples, to include chocolate and coffee. Doris provided us with history of Brazil and São Paulo throughout the tour. Her explanations and insights were so interesting and she was so engaging. She knew we visited the market with another guide the day before and pivoted her plans. It ended up being a bonus for us as we visited new bakeries and restaurants. Doris was the best tour guide we had during our two weeks in South America!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind review! 😊 We're happy to hear that you had a great time on the gastronomic tour of São Paulo with Doris. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the history, food, and the new experiences. Doris loves sharing the culture and history of Brazil, and we’re glad she could make the tour even better for you. We hope to welcome you again on your next trip to South America! 🌟

Fantastic São Paulo private tour.
This is a great tour for travellers who want to see São Paulo without any hassle as we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Ilan, our guide was the best! He contacted us before the tour and learned we did a private tour that day. He created an itinerary for us that did not duplicate anything we seen the day before and included items we were particular interested in like architecture. His food choices were great and we were delighted with everything we tried. Ilan was incredibly knowledgeable and such a lovely person. We had the best day with him. I would highly recommend this tour.

Best Memory of Brazil
Daniel guided me on two private tours: a city and food tour. I have taken city and food tours all over the world and he is the best guide I have ever had. He is knowledgeable about all aspects of San Paulo; e.g. its culture, history, politics, architecture, art, food, vibe. His views seem balanced and objective while being passionately in love with his city. Best of all it is like visiting your best friend in his favorite place and him sharing why he loves it. As a single women I felt safe and respected. I was in Brazil for 27 days and my time with Daniel was simply my best memory. For the food tour we went to his favorite bakery and we were spoiled for choices. He wanted me to try Brazilian specialities. One of them I liked so much we ordered another one with coffee that had my name written on it. Then we went to the municipal market which is a beautiful old building with gorgeous stain glass windows. We had a shrimp and creamy cheese dish that was amazing. We also went to his favorite fruit stand I probably had 8 different fresh fruits grown in Brazil that were so tasty. It was a fabulous and fun experience. He is simply a beautiful human being who loves what he does and want to share that with you!

Gastronomic Tour São Paulo – Culture & History Through The Art Of Food – Private: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sao Paulo.
How much does Gastronomic Tour São Paulo – Culture & History Through The Art Of Food – Private cost?
+
Prices start at $249 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sao Paulo usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Gastronomic Tour São Paulo – Culture & History Through The Art Of Food – Private take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sao Paulo is not rushed.
Is Gastronomic Tour São Paulo – Culture & History Through The Art Of Food – Private worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 53 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Sao Paulo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Gastronomic Tour São Paulo – Culture & History Through The Art Of Food – Private?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Gastronomic Tour São Paulo – Culture & History Through The Art Of Food – Private suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Gastronomic Tour São Paulo – Culture & History Through The Art Of Food – Private?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sao Paulo can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sao Paulo and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Gastronomic Tour São Paulo – Culture & History Through The Art Of Food – Private start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sao Paulo within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sao Paulo?
+
On Outty we rank every Sao Paulo experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Rio in One Day: Christ Redeemer, Sugarloaf & Local Lunch, 5-hour Private Tour Of São Paulo With Its Main Sights – Optional Airport Pickup, 6-Hour Classic Half-Day Private Tour of São Paulo – Optional Airport Pickup. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sao Paulo?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sao Paulo?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
