Great beach city tour! - Fun day trip to Santos from São Paulo! Private transportation and tour which included biking on the beach, tour of the historic old town, and tram to the highest point in the city among several other fun and informative stops. Giorgio is a great local tour guide who was so fun to hang out with and learn about Santos from. Beautiful day!

Amazing Tour to the Coast - Nelio was an amazing tour guide! Kind and knowledgeable, friendly to my daughter (played Taylor Swift music in the car) and a great host. Highly recommend this trip if someone wants to see the coast for a day—even if raining, like we experienced. No issues and great tour.

Great experience at Santos with Adi Zegman - Made a short visit to Santos. It was a great experience with Adi Zegman, the guide. He was very flexible; knowledgeable and ensured it was a fun ride. Gretur Tourismo was very proactive with planning and keep me informed about everything. They took extra efforts to ensure we got our boat ride and I can’t thank them enough for that.

A great and relaxing day at the beach - Excellent day with Marcio! We were picked up at the hotel, visited the very interesting museum of coffee in santos and spend the rest of the day in the beautiful beach of Guaruja. Marcio find us a very good place to stay at the beach, not too crowded, good food and a crystal clear and hot sea! Marcio is really a very nice person, we felt completely in confidence with him, he speaks very well French and makes our day relaxed and great! Thanks to him and thanks to Renato who managed the logistics and booking in a perfect way, as usual (it’s the second time we use Greg tour services and are really happy with the company! We warmly recommend Greg tour!)

Not convinced of value relative to cost -- an off day? - While it was good to get out of the city and to see the old and new parts of Santos I am not sure this tour was high on value relative to cost. It is good bit of time in the car just getting to Santos and back to Sao Paulo (3 hours total). The old city part of the tour was interesting with the Pele museum, the Coffee museum, and the trolley ride. Both the Pele museum and Coffee museum were really interesting. A fair bit of time in the car again to get from the old part of the city past the port area and to the beach area on our way to Porchat Island, up to the Niemayer monument, and the restaurant next door where the food was great. The views were fabulous up there. Unfortunately we did not stop for any of the following along the way: Monte Serrat, Orla and Gardens of Santos Beach, or the Municipal Botanical Garden of Santos. All I saw of the gardens and beach were from the car as we drove by and we never took the tram up to see the view from Monte Serrat. What I did see and do was interesting but I felt like the tour of the new Santos area was lacking. Maybe it was because of all the traffic on a Sunday afternoon. Maybe my trip was an exception relative to expectations and what was listed as typical for this tour.
