“Excellent tour by lovely people. Would highly recommend, made it fun, interesting and safe!”
Meet at Jurema Bar for a four-hour night through Lapa, led in English, Spanish, or Portuguese by guides such as Marx, Victor, and Bernardo. Visit Selarón Steps, local bars, samba circles, and dance venues, with cachaça shots and club entry included.
“Our guide's name was Isabella and we started off at a bar where they taught us the process of making Chacaca. The sugar can juice they had us taste was pleasantly good. The night was fun overall as we were able to meet other travelers from different parts of the world and we ended the night at a Samba club where the music was fantastic and I learned how to Samba a little.”
Start at 8:30 pm in Lapa and follow local guides through samba bars, a rooftop stop, Selarón Steps, and a Latin club. You will receive cachaça shots, learn basic samba moves, and meet an international group. Guides such as Marx, Victor, Julia, Bernardo, and Igor have all led this experience, though the lineup varies.
“Victor was our guide and he was great! We got to experience lots of fun places we wouldn’t have been able to find or feel comfortable visiting without the group. Would 10/10 recommend!”
Join hosts such as Jena, Diego, Pétala, or Rodrigo for a four to five-hour night through Vila Madalena. Start with an hour of open bar and drinking games, enjoy a caipirinha at Ô de Casa, then finish with samba and funk at two lively clubs.
“It was fun night with a good group of people! The hosts did a great job and we went to cool places. I would suggest this to anyone”
Meet Faical at Sesc Avenida Paulista at 5:30 p.m. for a flexible five-hour night out. Start with a rooftop stop, then choose among Vila Madalena, Beco do Batman, Itaim Bibi, LGBT-friendly bars, or a special show. Two caipirinhas and club entry are included.
“Faical made this evening a special one. Highly recommended him for every tour. I also had the pleasure to have the city tour with him. It was a mixture of historical places and hidden gems only a local would know.”
Spend five hours with a Portuguese-speaking guide such as Vini or Vinnie, moving by private vehicle through Vila Madalena and Jardins. Expect rooftop views, a historic cellar bar, live music, dancing, and late-night food stops. Drinks, food, and some entry fees cost extra.
“We had an unforgettable time on the tour with Vini! The mix of rooftop views, hidden gems, and diverse bars made it an incredible experience. Each stop had its own unique charm, whether it was savoring craft cocktails under the stars, enjoying live music in an upbeat venue, or enjoying some local food. The variety was amazing, and we felt like we got a true taste of São Paulo's nightlife scene. Cheers to an incredible guide and an unforgettable night!”
