Amazing tour for english speakers
For someone who’s never been to Brazil or São Paulo, this tour is a must. It shows you all the main attractions in sp and Bruno Ferrari (the guide) speaks English fluently. He also brought us to an amazing local brazilian bbq buffet. It is definitely worth the cost!
via Tripadvisor
Great experience
Excellent tour to get a look at many spots around the city and learn its history. Bruno Ferrari was an excellent guide who had exceptional knowledge about the city, and was accompanied by the excellent driver for the day Reynaldo. Highly recommend
via Viator
Toure
Bruno is incredibly fluent in several languages and did a great job explaining Brazil’s history and culture in detail to people from many different countries. It must not have been easy to repeat the same explanations in almost three different languages throughout the tour, but he did it with great energy and enthusiasm. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see many of São Paulo’s main sights in a relatively short amount of time while also learning about the city’s history from Bruno. It’s a great way to explore different parts of São Paulo efficiently and gain a better understanding of the city at the same time.

A highlight of our trip to Sao Paulo was doing this city tour!
This is an excellent way to see the city if you have a day to spend here. Our guide Bruno Ferari and our driver were perfect hosts. They know so much about the city and took us to all of the important areas. Batman Alley was so neat! As were the cathedrals, old buildings, historical landmarks, parks, etc. Our lunch was a massive buffet for a reasonable charge.

Excellent Full Day

São Paulo’s Full Day City Tour: Main City Sights – (Shared Group): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sao Paulo.
How much does São Paulo’s Full Day City Tour: Main City Sights – (Shared Group) cost?
+
Prices start at $79 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 São Paulo’s Full Day City Tour: Main City Sights – (Shared Group) take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 São Paulo’s Full Day City Tour: Main City Sights – (Shared Group) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 1,937 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Sao Paulo, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule São Paulo’s Full Day City Tour: Main City Sights – (Shared Group)?
+
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 São Paulo’s Full Day City Tour: Main City Sights – (Shared Group) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book São Paulo’s Full Day City Tour: Main City Sights – (Shared Group)?
+
Around 678 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does São Paulo’s Full Day City Tour: Main City Sights – (Shared Group) 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.
