Day Trip from Sao Paulo to Santos
This tour was from Sao Paulo to Santos. Danilo picked me up at the hotel and we had a lovely drive to Santos during which Danilo shared Brazilian history and interesting facts generally about Brazil. When we got to Santos we parked up and went to the Pele museum. This is a wonderful set up of all things Pele! Following the Pele museum we walked to the coffee museum. What a beautiful building this museum is in! Learned a lot about coffee and the influence its production had and still has on the country. At the end, we got a delicious cup of coffee in the onsite cafe. The town is Santos is very pretty for walking around. There are many styles of architecture that make the city very pretty. After the coffee museum we picked the car up and drove over to a fantastic little zoological park right in town. Saw some rescued birds, monkeys among other animals. It was pleasant green space and worth seeing. All in all, I had wonderful day and Danilo was a most excellent guide! Highly recommend.
A+Tour
We had a wonderful day with Danilo on a private tour from São Paulo to Santos! I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in touring the area. He was very informative, very kind, and funny! We learned quite a bit, and his English was perfection!
Great tour company…efficient tour + airport transfer from cruise terminal São Paulo
We booked a last-minute tour and transfer for a group of six from the São Paulo cruise terminal, and the experience exceeded our expectations. From the start, communication with Osvaldo via WhatsApp was prompt and efficient. He quickly responded to my inquiry with a well-thought-out itinerary that took our flight times into careful consideration. Osvaldo arranged an English-speaking tour guide and a spacious van, and he provided detailed information including names, contact details, the license plate, and clear step-by-step instructions for the meeting point at the busy terminal. This made everything seamless and stress-free. Our driver, Bruno, and greeting agent, Bianca, were wonderful—professional, friendly, and organized. Our tour guide, Ronaldo, was truly exceptional. He was with us from pickup through the tour and all the way to the airport drop-off. Ronaldo was knowledgeable, professional, kind, patient, and had a great sense of humor. Despite our limited time, he ensured we saw several key highlights of São Paulo and kept everything running smoothly. This was the perfect and most efficient way to make the most of a long layover while managing a transfer. I would absolutely recommend this tour company to anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable experience.
Fun day
This was a fun day and tailo d to what we wanted to see and do. Carlos was a great tour guide, and Alex a great driver.
Absolutely Brilliant
My private tour was absolutely first-rate and genuinely exceeded all my expectations. The itinerary was spot on, including essential visits to Santos, São Vicente, and the splendid Coffee Museum. A particularly valuable addition was the inclusion of the Pelé Museum. Thanks to Danilo’s profound historical knowledge, this visit provided a truly fascinating and engaging glimpse into the region’s footballing heritage. I must take a moment to single out the work of my guide, Danilo. Not only did he conduct the tour in an extraordinarily interesting and engaging manner, but his mastery of history and local culture made every single location spring to life. Furthermore, he is a great photographer who helped me capture some splendid memories of the day. I highly recommend this tour, and, in particular, the services of Danilo. It was a day brimming with knowledge and fantastic experiences - a proper treat, indeed.
