Can I pick specific neighbourhoods to visit, or is the itinerary fixed?

The tour is flexible and customizable. You can request preferred sights and neighbourhoods during booking or before the tour starts; your private guide will adjust the route based on your interests.

Is airport pickup included, or only hotel pickup?

Hotel pickup is standard. GRU Airport pickup is available as an optional add-on; confirm this when booking if you need airport collection.

The break allows you to explore Brazil's iconic food market independently—sample local snacks, juices, and artisan goods. Food and drinks are not included; purchase directly from vendors (bring R$ cash).

Is this tour suitable for families with children?

Yes, the flexible nature and private vehicle make it family-friendly. Ibirapuera Park is great for children, though some neighbourhoods involve walking; confirm comfort levels with your guide beforehand.

What language is the guide, and can I request English or another language?

The guide is Portuguese-speaking. Confirm language availability (English, Spanish, etc.) at booking if needed, as this may affect guide assignment or require a translator.
