Great way to get an overview of São Paulo. The tour guide, Gil use to live in the US in CA so he has great points of reference for comparisons. He is easy to get in contact and communicate with ahead of time. Due to a canceled flight there were some changes with scheduling and hotel pick-up on our end and he was very accommodating. There were limitations on what we could see do to closures with COVID which was expected. There were some conflicting things between hours posted online and in person. Gil attempted to work that out ahead of time by calling ahead. Still had an informative tour and got to see a variety of things! Gil is very knowledgeable and has a great grasp of history and information on different sites. He is well known by different vendors in the Municipale Mercardo. We were excited to visit the market and told him we had hoped to try cashew fruit and some other local fruit. Some vendors do offer samples and we would not have minded paying since with the hotel we did not have access to knives for any fruit that had to be cut. He has preferred vendors within the market. So we visited one fruit vendor and he pointed out the cashew fruit and they let us try a sample of dragon fruit. But we were a little disappointed we were unable to try more fruit, especially the cashew fruit, or visit other fruit vendors. But he was very helpful in coordinating with vendors and we were able to purchase some great souvenirs for family! Overall a great tour and would definitely recommend Gil!We chose the 5 hour private tour with Gil and the whole experience was fantastic.

We chose the 5 hour private tour with Gil and the whole experience was fantastic. His knowledge of the city’s history, culture and traditions was very educational and entertaining. We had researched many other tour companies and based on reviews and itinerary options decided to choose Gil and felt like we made the best decision. It made for a much more personalized experience and we would definitely recommend him as your future tour guide.I had the 5-hours tour with Gil and really enjoyed it. Gil picked me up at the hotel and asked my preferences about the tour. So we visited the main sightseeings but also the bohemian area of Santa Madalena and the food market (I asked for it). I will recomended!

I had limited time to tour Sao Paulo while in town on a business trip. Thanks to Gil, I was able come away with a great appreciation for the city in a short time. Gil has lived an incredibly interesting life, and is a great source of information on Brazilian history and culture. In a few short hours, I was able to visit the Mercado Municipal with its beautiful murals and exotic foods, Catedral de Se, Ibirapuera Park, and the Museum of Contemporary Art featuring sweeping views of the city. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough.I am so glad that I found this tour guide! My boyfriend and I were traveling in Sao Paulo and wanted to see the top sites in one day.

I am so glad that I found this tour guide! My boyfriend and I were traveling in Sao Paulo and wanted to see the top sites in one day. On our last day in the city we decided to find a tour guide that could drive us around and share more about the history of Brazil. Gil was exactly what we were looking for and so much more. Gil came to our hotel and his first question was "what do you want to see?" It was then that I realized this would be a customized tour. He took us to Batman Alley, brought us to the top of the Modern Art Museum in the middle of Parque do Ibirapuera, and showed us a beautiful Portuguese inspired church. Even with all of the traffic in Sao Paulo we were able to visit the Mercado Municipal (the market), see a couple of the monasteries around the city, and drive by the Teatro Municipal (the theater). He took us through the old financial district since my boyfriend was interested in seeing this part of the city. The best part about the tour was that Gil shared information based on our interests. He is so knowledgeable and passionate about Sao Paulo and always willing to share new facts throughout the tour. I would highly recommend setting up a tour with Gil if you want to get the most out of Sao Paulo. Lastly - unfortunately during the trip I broke my foot. I had a wheelchair and had limited mobility. Gil was so helpful to make sure I was still able to experience the city by finding parking throughout and driving around in areas he normally tours by foot. I was so impressed with his flexibility.My first day in SP I was not really impressed with it. So I was so excited to go with Gil and really get to see the city. He is great and really knows where to take his guests. I feel like I saw the whole city in 5 hours. My husband and I travel a lot and we rarely do city tours but Gils tour is ...
My first day in SP I was not really impressed with it. So I was so excited to go with Gil and really get to see the city. He is great and really knows where to take his guests. I feel like I saw the whole city in 5 hours. My husband and I travel a lot and we rarely do city tours but Gils tour is a must! I can't recommend him enough. We had a great time together and his love for his city is authentic. I want to return to SP because of his tour.
