Renato was the best tour guide I've ever hired (and I've hired many). Incredibly knowledgeable, amenable, informative, and a pleasure to spend the day with. Tour ran the gamut of art, culture, history, architecture and even some choice shopping. Captured the essential Sao Paulo. Looking forward to my next visit there!

This tour is the perfect way to experience and learn more about Sao Paolo. It's one of of the most amazing cities in the world. At the same time, it can be overwhelming for first time visitors. Our guide Renato picked us up at the hotel and gave us a memorable tour. He is friendly, funny, and a literal encyclopedia of Sao Paolo's history and culture. My wife and I learnt and experienced so much. This tour was the first thing we did when we arrived and it helped us plan the rest of our trip. We are in love with this city! I wouldn't want to experience SP any other way. Obrigado Renato! Can't recommend this tour enough!

Having enjoyed spending time with guides around the world our latest one was something special. Knowledgable in art, archictecture, languages and local culture at a level that is far beyond your typical guide. As fans of all things artisitic our time with Renato flew by as we spent two half days exploring Sao Paolo. Visits to museums, cultural locations and even some of the best food and drink in the city, which is high praise in a city know for its food. For anyone looking for a tailored private guide we could not recommend him highly enough. Be preared to absorb more than you imagine and come away with an appreciation of the city beyond the obvious.

Renato’s tour is carefully designed and includes memorable experiences curated by highly educated, well travelled, friendly and trusted guide fluent in English, with a high level excellence in guiding services onboard a comfortable private vehicle. Renato is a passionate local expert with deep knowledge in history, arts, architecture, gastronomy, design and culture. We asked for an architecture and we ve hit a brilliant tour with historical cultural and personal references. Renato gave us an itinerary for the next two days with detailed explanation. He is awesome.

Renato is an exceptional guide, out of the box. To begin with the way he presents the city to us, following his rich cultural repertoire, and the coolest tips. A unique experience not to miss. I wish there was a guide like Renato in every destination of the world.

Renato was punctual and professional. Yet he was able to engage with everyone on any topic. He was especially knowledgeable on the history of Brazil and (my favourite) the art of São Paulo. For us, his English was perfect but he is truly a language aficionado. It is clear he does this because of his love for guiding and I could not recommend a better tour guide. P.S if you see this good luck on your phd thesis ;)

Renato was my spur of the moment tour during an unexpected 24 hour layover due to plane trouble. He was dependable, and able to adjust his plans to help me see the city on short notice! Renato provided a custom made action packed tour tailored to my interests. Every moment he captured my attention with his vast knowledge of history, arts, architecture, people, and the culture of SaoPaulo, Brazil. He was both caring and entertaining. I would highly recommend Renato for your tour. Sincerely, Nancy from Tillamook, Oregon, USA

Renato was a fabulous tour guide. He showed up promptly on time with a giant, welcoming smile and an immaculate car. As soon as our seat belts were buckled, he began our tour with stories intertwined with facts and lore. It was clear that he loved his city and the history behind it. He whisked us from museum to famous attractions (Batman Alley), parks, cultural centers and god knows what else. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed. What he successfully did was give us a taste of the city, whetting our appetites for future visits. As per request, he finished our tour taking us to a lovely local crafts store and to a cooperative market where we could/did buy quality gifts for our friends and family on our last day in Brazil. I would definitely recommend Renato. He was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and professional.

Me and my children booked a 4-hour tour with Renato (which lasts 5 hours at no extra charge). Renato had first given us free advice on the progress of our trip and then showed us the nice little places of Sao Paulo that made this visit a constant discovery. We feel that Renato loves his job and his clients and has a real pleasure to discover his city... and he speaks perfect French... to advise without any hesitation
