Another great tour by AroundSP
I have used AroundSP before on my trips to Sao Paulo, so on this trip with my wife along, I naturally turned to them for a tour. Our guide, Luiz, was nothing less than spectacular! He picked us up at our hotel and started by consulting with us on things we wanted to see. Then he launched bravely out into Sao Paulo traffic without a concern (he knows the streets so well, he didn't even consult WhatsApp for help!). He took us to the old mission and school and walked us to the Cathedral; We checked out Liberdade japanese area, then went to Mercado Centrale to check it out and have lunch (his place he directed to for lunch was great!). We then snaked through Paulista District, over to the Pacaembu Stadium and the Museo de Futbol (which is in great part a tribute to Pele). Finally we went to the Museum of Modern Art where we went up to the rooftop for a view of the city! Great tour!

Highly recommend this personalized tour of Sao Paulo
I highly recommend this 4-hour tour of Sao Paulo with Kali. She picked me up on time at my hotel, asked me about my interests and preferences (did I want to focus on gastronomy, churches, something else?) and made adjustments along the way to accommodate traffic, rain, and other factors. Kali has clearly developed strong personal relationships with artists and vendors at key locations that helped personalize the tour experience. We chatted with a number of artists while strolling through Beco do Batman, where I tasted locally made spirits, spoke with a woman who makes jewelry out of nespresso pods, and visited a few galleries and art shops. When we visited the Market, a number of vendors said hi to Kali -- one let us taste a dozen different kinds of fruit. We drove by Japantown, which I had wanted to see (but we agreed it was too crowded on a Sunday for a comfortable visit) and made a quick stop at the Cathedral. We also stopped at the Museum of Contemporary Art to check out the vista view from the top floor and enjoyed a coffee break at the cafe. Kali provided great information about the history, culture, and everyday life of the people of Sao Paulo and Brazil. Her car was clean and comfortable. Great half-day tour and well worth the investment since Sao Paulo is so spread out. I wouldn't have been able to see the city in an efficient way without a tour like this.

Fun tour and market experience
Luiz was an extremely knowledgable guide. He tailored the tour to our interests, and had a deep knowledge of the history and architecture of the area. He was also very pleasant to have a conversation with during the driving times. Would definitely recommend, and request Luiz in the future.
Response from the operator: Thanks very much for letting us a review. We are very happy to hear that you enjoyed your time in São Paulo, with us!

Sao Paulo Top Highlights Tour with Market visit (4h): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sao Paulo.
How much does Sao Paulo Top Highlights Tour with Market visit (4h) cost?
+
Prices start at $165 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 Sao Paulo Top Highlights Tour with Market visit (4h) 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 Sao Paulo Top Highlights Tour with Market visit (4h) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 71 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 15 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 Sao Paulo Top Highlights Tour with Market visit (4h)?
+
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 Sao Paulo Top Highlights Tour with Market visit (4h) 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 Sao Paulo Top Highlights Tour with Market visit (4h)?
+
Around 5 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 Sao Paulo Top Highlights Tour with Market visit (4h) 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.
What is included in Sao Paulo Top Highlights Tour with Market visit (4h)?
+

+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
