I'm Renato C., your private tour guide in Sao Paulo

Guide #22005

Hello! I’m Renato, your Sao Paulo-based private guide and cultural insider, specializing in high-end, personalized experiences. Whether you’re visiting the city for the first time or returning with a deeper curiosity, my role is simple: to make your day in São Paulo feel effortless, meaningful and truly memorable. I work with a wide range of travelers: from those who want a beautifully curated overview of the city to collectors and enthusiasts interested in Brazilian art, architecture and culture. Every experience is tailored to your pace, your interests and your energy. With a background in Communication and a Master’s degree in Foreign Languages, Literature and Translation from the University of São Paulo, I bring a strong storytelling approach to everything I do. My goal is not just to show you places, but to help you understand the city in a natural, engaging way, without overwhelming you. For guests interested in the arts, I can introduce you to Sao Paulo’s vibrant contemporary scene, including galleries, collections and, when possible, private encounters with artists and insiders. For those looking for a broader city experience, I design seamless days combining key landmarks, neighborhoods, architecture, food and hidden gems, always with comfort, flexibility and attention to detail. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of guiding international travelers, collectors and public figures, oftenly creating what they describe as the highlight of their trip. Fluent in English, French, Spanish and Portuguese, I ensure smooth communication and a relaxed atmosphere throughout the day. If you’re looking for a standard, scripted tour, I may not be the right fit. But if you’d like a thoughtful, well-paced and personalized experience, whether focused on art or simply on enjoying the best of São Paulo, I’d be delighted to guide you. Let’s create a day that feels uniquely yours.

    A must do in São Paulo A fantastic tour through the Favela, which is not the place you normally go for a walk ! But it's not just about the Favela.

    Every visitor to São Paulo should take this tour. Visiting this flavela busts all the pre-conceived notions and stereotypes you believe about flavelas. The community center, entrepreneurial spirit and community feel is everywhere. I saw sketchier people and homeless in the city center than I did in the flavela. The 2 artists we visited were amazing and the community...

    Miraculously, Renato was available Christmas Eve day and he researched what was open and where we could go. You can't do Sao Paulo on your own, 25 million people, little English, and the biggest city in the southern hemisphere. He is very smart and communicated often before my tour with suggestions and for desires. Private car, knows the back roads, and many...
