    Very cool the escuna walk

    I found the tour quite complete. The part of the scum was a delight, clean water and gave to swim A little. The guide Fernando was great explaining everything. I just missed more time in the Stops. Overall, it is very worth it

    Response from the operator: Muito obrigado pelo seu feedback! 🙏⚓ Que bom saber que curtiu a parte da escuna e que deu até pra aproveitar um mergulho 🌊😃 O Fernando vai adorar saber do reconhecimento! Esperamos você em mais passeios com a gente 💙✨

    Maria and the Beach - a winning combination

    We had a very nice day seeing Santos with Maria. She was lovely and funny and totally flexible to our schedule. The day was a bit overcast but Maria and Joao more than made up for it. And the restaurant we ate at was a trip highlight.

    Response from the operator: Thank you, Alex, for your kind words! 😊 We’re happy to hear you had such a lovely time in Santos with Maria and João, it’s great to know they made the day special for you. We’re also glad you enjoyed the restaurant – it’s always a treat! We hope to see you again for more memorable experiences in the future!

    Santos Private Tour with Schooner Boat and Tickets from Sao Paulo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sao Paulo.

    How much does Santos Private Tour with Schooner Boat and Tickets from Sao Paulo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $306 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 Santos Private Tour with Schooner Boat and Tickets from Sao Paulo take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 Santos Private Tour with Schooner Boat and Tickets from Sao Paulo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 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 Santos Private Tour with Schooner Boat and Tickets from Sao Paulo?

    +

    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 Santos Private Tour with Schooner Boat and Tickets from Sao Paulo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Santos Private Tour with Schooner Boat and Tickets from Sao Paulo?

    +

    Around 1 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Santos Private Tour with Schooner Boat and Tickets from Sao Paulo 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.
