Sample Menu

• Coxinha - Coxinha is a breaded and fried dough-based snack filled with chicken, shaped to loosely resemble a chicken drumstick.

We had a fabulous day on the gastronomic tour with Laura. She took time to learn about us, our interests, and our previous exposure to São Paulo. Because we had just arrived and hadn’t done a cultural or history tour, she customized the route to make sure that we drove by certain sites so she could provide some information about São Paulo. Of course, the food was the best part! Laura planned the tour to show us a range of foods in a range of settings: the best pão de queijo in city in a beautiful setting; a local farmer’s market for street food and to see fruit and veggies for sale; an upscale bakery for a variety of sweet and savory bites; and the municipal market for mortadella sandwiches, Brazilian nuts, and a sampling of tropical fruit. Laura provided an excellent education on traditional Brazilian food throughout the tour. She explained how certain foods developed in Brazilian history and culture, and she answered all of our questions in detail and with humor. Laura is a delightful guide. She set a fun, enthusiastic tone, and throughout the tour she introduced us to other guides and vendors as if we were old friends. We highly recommend this tour and the Gregtur company. They were in touch with us by WhatsApp prior to the tour to make sure that we had all of the information we needed, and they followed up afterwards to confirm that everything went well. My only regret is that we didn’t have more time in São Paulo to go on more of their tours!JessicaRizer

Laura was a bright, fun, energetic guide who was enthusiastic about sharing São Paulo and its food with us. She adapted the tour for us based on our conversations and added some quick diversions for us knowing we wouldn't be able to see more of the city during our stay, which I greatly appreciated. There is a lot of time in the car due to the nature of the city, but the drive was pleasant and Laura kept us engaged with interesting tidbits about the different areas we passed through. The food is delicious and filling (believe her when she says there is a lot coming), and I feel we got a good sampling of local cuisine.164allit

Laura was so friendly, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic about Brazilian food and history. We had a great time, learned a lot and definitely consumed many delicious things. My only complaint is the time spent in the car, but understand that is unavoidable in São Paulo with the lack of efficient public transportation and heavy traffic. Regardless, it was a great way to see the city.James M

The gastronomy tour was amazing. I’m sure all of the tour guides are great because Gregtur is very responsive and accommodating to your needs. However, Doris who showed me around is the best! She has a keen understanding of what intrigues you and is an overall joy to be around. Also, our tour was on the day of the second Brazilian World Cup game so I’m glad I was with her because it was hectic. Thank you Doris and Gregtur for showing me the great eats in São Paulo!
