The local community is beautiful, and having the opportunity to discuss with these artists about their lives and practice was so powerful. We visited with skilled artists and community organizers, and my local guide Higor and translator Carlos were both wise, fun, and engaged the whole day. I recommend trying local street food and drinks as well. Thank you, Renato, for helping organize today. I'm looking forward to coming again with friends and my parents!Written 13 June 2024

Having enjoyed spending time with guides around the world our latest one was something special. Knowledgable in art, archictecture, languages and local culture at a level that is far beyond your typical guide. As fans of all things artisitic our time with Renato flew by as we spent two half days exploring Sao Paolo. Visits to museums, cultural locations and even some of the best food and drink in the city, which is high praise in a city know for its food. For anyone looking for a tailored private guide we could not recommend him highly enough. Be preared to absorb more than you imagine and come away with an appreciation of the city beyond the obvious.

Renato was punctual and professional. Yet he was able to engage with everyone on any topic. He was especially knowledgeable on the history of Brazil and (my favourite) the art of SĂŁo Paulo. For us, his English was perfect but he is truly a language aficionado. It is clear he does this because of his love for guiding and I could not recommend a better tour guide.
P.S if you see this good luck on your phd thesis ;)

Renato’s tour is carefully designed and includes memorable experiences curated by highly educated, well travelled, friendly and trusted guide fluent in English, with a high level excellence in guiding services onboard a comfortable private vehicle. Renato is a passionate local expert with deep knowledge in history, arts, architecture, gastronomy, design and culture. We asked for an architecture and we ve hit a brilliant tour with historical cultural and personal references. Renato gave us an itinerary for the next two days with detailed explanation. He is awesome.

Renato was my spur of the moment tour during an unexpected 24 hour layover due to plane trouble. He was dependable, and able to adjust his plans to help me see the city on short notice! Renato provided a custom made action packed tour tailored to my interests. Every
moment he captured my attention with his vast knowledge of history, arts, architecture, people, and the culture of SaoPaulo, Brazil. He was both caring and entertaining. I would highly recommend Renato for your tour.

Renato is an exceptional guide, out of the box. To begin with the way he presents the city to us, following his rich cultural repertoire, and the coolest tips. A unique experience not to miss.
I wish there was a guide like Renato in every destination of the world.

This tour is the perfect way to experience and learn more about Sao Paolo. It's one of of the most amazing cities in the world. At the same time, it can be overwhelming for first time visitors. Our guide Renato picked us up at the hotel and gave us a memorable tour. He is friendly, funny, and a literal encyclopedia of Sao Paolo's history and culture. My wife and I learnt and experienced so much. This tour was the first thing we did when we arrived and it helped us plan the rest of our trip. We are in love with this city! I wouldn't want to experience SP any other way. Obrigado Renato! Can't recommend this tour enough!

Renato was a fabulous tour guide. He showed up promptly on time with a giant, welcoming smile and an immaculate car.
As soon as our seat belts were buckled, he began our tour with stories intertwined with facts and lore. It was clear that he loved his city and the history behind it.
He whisked us from museum to famous attractions (Batman Alley), parks, cultural centers and god knows what else. We never felt rushed or overwhelmed.
What he successfully did was give us a taste of the city, whetting our appetites for future visits.
As per request, he finished our tour taking us to a lovely local crafts store and to a cooperative market where we could/did buy quality gifts for our friends and family on our last day in Brazil.
I would definitely recommend Renato. He was incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and professional.
