Visit the Sé Cathedral which was inspired by medieval European churches. The imposing construction marks the center of São Paulo (the ground zero of the city is at Sé Square), a very busy area.

The Julio Prestes station is a historical building that is an actual train station. In addition, it's a concert house for the São Paulo Symphonic Orchestra.

Over the past century, the station has become a gateway for millions of immigrants, from where they came by train after they arrived in Brazil at the port of Santos. The mass wave of immigrants upgraded the then small town of São Paulo to an important metropolis along the 20th century.
São Paulo Municipal Market is one of the main attractions of the city and a mandatory stop for everyone visit São Paulo. Do not miss out on the myriad of fruits, nuts, wines, cheeses, beers, food etc.. A summary of Brasil can be found in it.
Walk through the fascinating Paulista avenue. A place that is sure to impress you not only with its appearance, but also with its much rich history that may seem common in the eyes of some, but in the company of an expert tour guide can be mind-blowing.

Sistine-chapel like church that has plenty of paintings on the ceiling that is breathless. The church was inspired in Brazilian and Portuguese baroque temples. The style is neo-colonial, very popular in São Paulo architecture from the 1920s and 1930s.
Europa Ave. is a great place with dozens of imported car dealerships like Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati & Bentley. It’s well worth the visit to it!
Jardim Europa is one of the most valuable neighborhoods in the city of São Paulo surrounded by luxurious mansions of bankers, politicians, industrialists, entrepreneurs and football players.
Visit the heart of the street art in São Paulo, Batman’s alley is an area where virtually no surface is left untouched. This lengthy stretch of high-walled residences in Vila Madalena, showcases some of the most impressive spray paint murals around. The constantly changing nature of the art form means there's sure to be something striking and new with each visit.
Visit Vila Madalena which is a reference when it comes artistic expression of all kind. The Vila has evolved into a cultural hub for artists, small private art galleries and studios, several hotspots for street art.
"High-end Boutiques" Oscar Freire St. and its surroundings are known for their luxury stores, but it is very wrong to think that everything there is expensive. In fact, stores concentrate more status than exorbitant prices. Because they are, in general, the largest stores in the chains, they end up receiving stranded products with discounts.

We had an absolutely incredible full-day private tour with Danilo! From the moment he picked us up, we knew we were in great hands. He speaks English, Spanish, Portuguese, and who knows how many other languages, making communication effortless and enjoyable. What really set Danilo apart was how flexible he was. He completely customized the day around what we wanted to see and experience rather than following a rigid itinerary. His brand-new car was spotless, spacious, and extremely comfortable, making it easy to enjoy the day. Danilo is incredibly knowledgeable and shared fascinating history and local insights everywhere we went. He took us through Liberdade, where we explored the neighborhood, visited beautiful cathedrals, and then brought us to the top of the Santander Building for breathtaking panoramic views of São Paulo. One of the unexpected highlights was riding the subway back to where he had parked the car—it was such a fun and authentic local experience! He also introduced us to some delicious Brazilian treats we never would have found on our own and took us to an outstanding ramen restaurant for lunch that was delicious! Danilo is kind, attentive, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing his city. Thanks to him, we experienced São Paulo in a way we never could have on our own. If you’re looking for a private guide who is knowledgeable, accommodating, and truly goes above and beyond, we couldn’t recommend Danilo more highly. He made our last day in São Paulo unforgettable!
This was my second time touring with Gregtur in São Paulo. This second tour was just as good as the first. I booked a private tour for our group and requested Carlos Felix as our guide. He’s fantastic! Very knowledgeable, energetic, and flexible on sights. Highlights this time included a surprise car show at the train station, exploring Liberdade Neighborhood, lunch at the Municipal Market, and touring Batman Alley. We had a diverse group with varying backgrounds and everyone had fun!
It was such a pleasure welcoming you back for a second tour with Gregtur! 💙 We’re thrilled to know that this experience was just as enjoyable as your first one and that Carlos Felix once again made the day special with his knowledge, energy, and flexibility. A private tour is all about adapting to the group, and it’s wonderful to hear that everyone had a great time despite having different backgrounds and interests. 😊 The surprise car show sounds like a fantastic bonus, and we’re glad you also enjoyed Liberdade, the Municipal Market, and Batman Alley. Thank you for choosing us again and for continuing to trust our team with your time in São Paulo. We truly appreciate your loyalty and hope this was only the second of many more adventures together! 🇧🇷✨
I had a wonderful two days exploring São Paulo, and much of that is thanks to Danilo, who served as my guide on both days. His knowledge of the city runs deep. He brought São Paulo's rich history to life at every stop, offering context and stories that you simply would not get on your own. The food tour was a real highlight. As a vegetarian, I was especially pleased with how thoughtfully everything was handled, and Danilo made sure I had plenty to enjoy throughout. The visit to the bakery was fantastic, full of local character and wonderful aromas, and the market was a feast for the senses. Danilo walked me through the stalls, explaining the produce, the ingredients, and the traditions behind them. What stood out most was Danilo's genuine passion for his city. He was patient, engaging, and clearly took pride in showing São Paulo at its best. Two full days in his company flew by. I would recommend Danilo and this experience without hesitation. If you want to understand São Paulo beyond the surface, he is the guide to have

We are a party of 6 and had only one day in São Paulo. Out guide, Danilo, did a wonderful job. He was both entertaining and informative. We covered all the major sites and have a good idea of the city. I highly recommend.
Thank you for your wonderful review! 🌟 We’re so happy that you chose to spend your day in São Paulo with us.

Thank you so much for your review! 😊 We’re really happy to hear that Deborah and the driver did an excellent job throughout the tour. It’s great to know that everyone in your group was happy with the experience! We hope to see you again soon for more discoveries in São Paulo!
Danilo was an absolutely amazing tour guide. We did two separate tours, on two separate days with him. First of all, we were very impressed with his perfect command of the English language, he speaks like a native speaker. He has a vast knowledge of not just São Paulo and its important past and present history, the sites, the neighborhoods, the buildings, what is worth to see, but it was truly a pleasure talking to him about a wide variety of issues. In addition to being a fantastic and very knowledgeable tour guide and a wonderful person, he was also an excellent, calm and very safe driver, something which was very important when driving in busy São Paulo traffic. He kept his car spotlessly clean every time we rode with him. We have learned a lot during these two days from him and we would most certainly want him to be our tour guide again when we return. Gregturs is very lucky to have him as a tour guide!
Thank you so much for your incredible review! 😊 We’re so glad to hear that Danilo made your time in São Paulo memorable with his knowledge and excellent driving. It’s fantastic to know that you felt comfortable and well taken care of during both tours. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to see you again on your next visit! 🌟
Having a private tour is great because if needed you can pivot without being concerned about a bus full of guest. We had to do that because of the rain and still had a great time. Danielo was an EXCELLENT tour guide and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend him
It looks like Jennifer had a wonderful time despite the rain! The flexibility of a private tour made it possible for them to adjust the plan, and Danielo was an excellent guide, adding to their overall experience. 🌟
Diego was friendly and very knowledgeable. He was able to customize the tour around our interests. They also met us inside the airport and then when tour was complete dropped us at our hotel.
It looks like Diego did a great job customizing the São Paulo tour to match the client's interests and ensuring a smooth experience by meeting them inside the airport and dropping them off at their hotel afterward. Sounds like a seamless service!
Very knowledgeable and friendly. Tour was customized to your likes and dislikes. We stop and had great coffee.
Thank you for your kind words! 😊 We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed the customized tour and the coffee stop. It’s always a pleasure to make each tour personal and tailored to our guests’ preferences. We hope to see you again on your next visit to São Paulo! 🌟
Asked what my interests were, street art,food market and football. And that is exactly what my literally delivered. Just one to one it felt like a day trip with a friend. I'll leave sao Paulo knowing so much more about the city. It wasn't the cheapest by a long way but you get what you pay for and 8 and a half hours later, it was worth every penny
Thank you so much for your review! 🌎 It’s great to hear the experience was so complete and worth every moment. We hope to see you again soon!
