Sao Paulo city tour with Vivianne was amazing!
Vivianne was an amazing guide and showed us interesting and beautiful places of Sao Paulo. I loved the grafitti streets, the central market and exploring the flavours and local gastronomy. We ended our tour with an spectacular view of the city and we even danced and experienced the "resaca de carnaval"! It made us want to discover more of this cosmopolitan city!

Fantastic day with Doris in São Paulo!!!
Started with coffee and bread at an amazing 24/7 bakery and just got better from there. The tour was filled with food, information, lively anecdotes and history of the largest city in the Americas. She customized the trip as she gathered information about what my friends and I were interested in. I cannot recommend this trip highly enough.

Great time in Sao Paulo
Doris is the best. I had such a fun time on the food tour with her. Her love of Sao Paulo is infectious and her knowledge was remarkable. It's worth your time to take a tour with her.

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 market tour
Doris, our guide, was fantastic! She was very knowledgeable about the market and about São Paulo. We ate some delicious food and tried a lot of samples. We did this as a shore excursion from a cruise ship. Be aware that the cruise ship port is in Santos, which is about 1.5 hour drive from São Paulo, and a taxi costs about $150 US each way!
Response from the operator: Thanks Christine, for your time to write us this review! I have forwarded this message to our Guide Dóris and she was very happy to learn that you have enjoyed your day in SP

Private 4 hour Gastronomy Tour of Sao Paulo with Market Visit: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sao Paulo.
How much does Private 4 hour Gastronomy Tour of Sao Paulo with Market Visit cost?
+
Prices start at $230 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 Private 4 hour Gastronomy Tour of Sao Paulo with Market Visit take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Private 4 hour Gastronomy Tour of Sao Paulo with Market Visit worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 8 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 Private 4 hour Gastronomy Tour of Sao Paulo with Market Visit?
+
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 Private 4 hour Gastronomy Tour of Sao Paulo with Market Visit suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private 4 hour Gastronomy Tour of Sao Paulo with Market Visit?
+
Around 3 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private 4 hour Gastronomy Tour of Sao Paulo with Market Visit 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 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, São Paulo’s Full Day City Tour: Main City Sights – (Shared Group). 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.

+
