For those who are from the jewish community or are interested in its culture and history, take a private guided tour going through the most significant Jewish related sites in the city of São Paulo in the company of a Jewish Hebrew, English or Spanish speaking local tour guide.
This tour is designed to combine visits to the Jewish sites with a panoramic sightseeing passing by the major Sao Paulo’s sights.
The city of São Paulo is home to half of the Jewish community living in Brazil. São Paulo has a huge Jewish structure like synagogues, kosher restaurants, Jewish-oriented hotels and cultural centers. Explore some of the most historically city neighborhoods such as “Higienópolis” and “Bom Retiro” that are those where Jewish groups mostly settled down along the late 19th-century and first half of 20th-century fleeing from European wars and religious persecution.
Get to visit the oldest synagogue of São Paulo (Kehilat Israel), that now houses a memorial of Jewish immigration. The museum's main exhibition is an engaging and exciting journey through the history of the migratory waves of Jews in more than four centuries to Brazil.
Visit the Holocaust Memorial with an interactive and audiovisual collection. The memorial features photos, videos, objects of the time and facilities go back in time to the episode that killed millions of Jews in Europe during the Second World War.
Go to the Center for Jewish Culture, institution that aims to disseminate Jewish culture and strengthen ties between the Jewish community and Brazilian society. Be amazed by the Jewish culture building that has an architecture inspired in the Torah book.
Visit the Hebraica Club (Hebrew in Portuguese) which is a social, cultural, recreational and sporting association or club. A meeting point where Jewish families could meet safely in an environment that would allow educational actions to raise children and young people under the traditions and values of the Jewish community.
Come to know what it’s like to live as a Jew in São Paulo, learn about its huge importance to the formation of Brazil and who are the most prominent Brazilian Jewish personalities from business to art and politics.
Get to understand about the Jews who fled from Brazil during Portuguese religious persecution in the 17th century and helped to found in North America the Dutch settlement of “New Amsterdam”, which is now known as New York City.
Cater the conversation about your interests and our expertise, whether that can be Jewish topics, city history, or local culture.

If you are OUT OF or FAR from São Paulo, hire a number of hours taking into account the trip time to get to São Paulo from your place. E.G: If the pick-up location is at the seaport in the city of Santos, and it takes about 1:30h to reach São Paulo from it, the number of hired hours should be at least 8 hours in total. It is because 1:30h to reach the city of the tour (São Paulo), 5 hours of actual city tour and sightseeing, and plus 1:30 h to be returned to the city of Santos if that’s your final drop-off location.
If you are far or out of São Paulo and want to take this tour, as soon as you enter the "pick-up" and "final drop-off " locations into the respective fields, the system adds automatically the proper minimum amount of hours to cover the transfers to get you to and out of the city of the tour.
The minimum amount of hours is not extremely accurate at the extent to take into consideration all of the unexpected elements that could cause delays like traffic, weather or long-distant pick-ups and drop-offs. So if you think the system does not calculate precisely the minimum amount of hours to cover the transfers plus the tour, you can adjust it increasing the number of hours in accordance with your interests.
