5.00Arthur was our guide and he was absolutely everything! Knowledgeable, thoughtful, and great sense of humor. Hands down the best tour guide I’ve had all year. My husband, cousin and I felt right at home. We saw landmarks, art exhibits, did a tequila tasting, walked through Batman Alley and even stopped for a delicious meal at Z Deli! I highly recommend it commend booking this tour. I hope to book again on the next trip so Arthur can show us even more of the city.

5.00Wow! What an incredible experience Arthur curated for us in São Paulo. His wealth of knowledge, bright personality and thoughtfulness made us feel like he was our long lost Brazilian brother. Even when we got caught in the rain, Arthur was prepared with an umbrella and ponchos to keep all of us dry. The car and driver were always on time and clean. Arthur even took candid pics of us along the way and airdropped them to us. It made us feel very special. I hope to take tours of more areas of the city next time return. It was worth every penny. I highly recommend this tour.
Danilo is the best travel guide!

5.00Right from the airport pickup, Danilo was so friendly and knowledgeable. Had great food and conversation. We went to so many different places including a museum, street art, food market and rooftops where I could see all of São Paolo. Highly recommend Danilo.

5.00Danilo was an absolutely fantastic guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely fun to be around. From the moment we met, it felt less like a typical tour and more like spending time with an old friend. He shared fascinating insights about São Paulo, its history, and its hidden gems, all while keeping the experience lighthearted and enjoyable. We laughed, learned, and most importantly, truly enjoyed every moment. His passion for the city is contagious, and his ability to connect with people makes the experience unforgettable. If you’re looking for a guide who goes beyond the usual and makes your time feel special, Danilo is the one!

5.00This was a highly professional experience with a competent and knowledgeable guide, Marcio. As it was a private tour, I was able to make bespoke requests about what to do. The tips about the city were very helpful. I would recommend doing this tour early after arriving, as I created an itinerary for the rest of the week based on my experiences and the info I learnt on this tour.
Excellent LGBTQ+-friendly tour with Danilo

5.00We (four friends) did a six-hour tour with Danilo, and it was excellent. Communication in advance, and by Danilo when he arrived (on time) to pick us up, was clear. Danilo was great in every way. He's a very experienced and knowledgeable guide, with a passion for history and for talking about "real life" in São Paulo and in Brazil more generally. He has a good sense of humour and a light-hearted touch. He's completely fluent in English. The tour was very LGBTQ+ friendly, as advertised, including some very interesting discussions with Danilo about his work in the community. Danilo was very flexible about how we spent our time together, and he checked several times to make sure we were happy with how the tour was going, and whether there was enough emphasis on the right things. It was clear that he truly cared about our experience. I recommend this tour without hesitation. The only negative comment I have is about the vehicle. Danilo has a pickup truck that would work very well for up to three guests. With four of us, it was a bit uncomfortable for the three of us in the back seat, especially in the center. Not too bad, but not ideal. Overall, though, a very enjoyable tour.
