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.

Overview of your Sao Paulo tour

If you are ready to experience one of the greatest cultural chock of your life, this tour is for you! In ramnents of the Atlantic Jungle in a mountain in the city of São Paulo, resistant indigenous Guarani Mbya People keep their traditional way of life, contrasting with the ultra-urban lifestyle of the city of São Paulo just a few minutes away. Discover the exuberance of the jungle by hiking safely in the scenic trails of The Jaraguá Park, enjoy the breathtaking view from the highest peak of the city of São Paulo and get in touch with the native culture of Brazil guided by a Master in Foreign Languages currently studying the Guarani Language who happens to be the godfather of a few kids from the village and was baptized in the Guarani Praying temple having received the honor of holding a Guarani name given by the Xamã. I can tailor your visit from a simple visit to the praying temple and chat to music presentation, martial arts, body painting, etc.
