Like all travelers we thought the main port of Santos was merely a stepping stone to Sao Paulo - but so many people told us why spend 1.5-2 hours each way to go to a big city and instead stay in Santos - We were so lucky we did just that - Gregtur offered a full fun and educational day in Santos - a city that should get far more attention as a tourism attraction ! - one of the longest beach parks anywhere - a nice funicular ride to a panorama view of the city and the original casino of the region - we traveled to a wonderful pastry stop and more panorama views - our guide was enthusiastic and passionate about her love for this city - a highlight was the Santos soccer stadium - normally we would have gone the Pele museum but it was closed and we more than enjoyed touring the Santos soccer museum and seeing the field and stadium - After a great lunch we continued the city tour and finished at the coffee museum with much more time to spend reviewing the exhibits compared to other tour groups that went there - our guide explained the museum in detail and it was the end of a very enjoyable day Gregtur company did a great job on this shore excursion for us and we highly recommend that you avoid Sao Paulo and take this tour of Santos -V1133ZPchrisb

Catharina, my guide, is amazing! She knows the ins and outs of the city and is flexible to show you what you want to see. Love these trips to understand the culture behind a city! The trip to Rei Do cafe was my favorite :-)
