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.

We highly recommend Renato. We had just a day in Sao Paulo and he managed to give us a great overview of the history of the city & its current importance, the cultural landscape, a brilliant coffee stop & was really good upbeat & informative company. Our particular interest is art & culture & he was very knowledgeable on both. Enjoy your tour!
I highly recommend Renato. He’s extremely knowledgeable about São Paulo history. He’s very passionate about sharing the culture and art of Brazil.

I would highly recommend Renato on any of the tours he offers - if you are interested in Brazilian arts and its history , he is THE man . 10 stars!!!
What a fantastic day in São Paulo. We (a group of 4 international design and art journalists) booked a private tour with Renato and were blown away by the experience and his knowledge. He catered it to our needs and showed us art, architecture, design, craft, cool spots, a rooftop view, graffiti and history. We could have never seen all this without his knowledge and care. He 100% went the extra mile to show us his city. Cannot recommend enough!
Renato guided our family through a fascinating tour through São Paulo. He was very knowledgeable, friendly, and responsive to our questions and requests. He really went above and beyond to make sure we had a safe and enjoyable experience. Thanks so much, Renato!
This was my first visit to Sao Paulo, so I wanted to spend a few hours with a knowledgeable and friendly guide, and Renato perfectly matched my expectations. The tour was very comprehensive, his English is perfect, and he provided me with lots of useful tips for the rest of my stay in town. I felt very safe the entire time, and he incorporated my preferences into the tour, which I really appreciated.
