For long-distance trips, we may have to ask the state or federal road department authorization for taking open highways with big vehicles like vans and buses. Thus, in order to do that, it's required the list of all passengers and their passport or ID numbers at the time of the booking (Send it via e-mail after the booking). Therefore, it’s extremely important to book tours with long-distance pick-ups or drop-offs with at least 24 hours in advance.

For local pick-ups or drop-offs like airport or nearby cities, there is NO need of such list and passport or ID numbers.

Count starts from the pickup moment, no matter where you are.
The tour coverage depends on the number of hours hired by customers ranging from 4 to 10 hours, where in 10 hours you must pass by all or the majority of the suggested sights.
The tour is designed to be dynamic, and cover as many sights as possible. So there are NOT too many stops in order to try to get the most out of your available time. The guide must pass by the sight and explain a little bit of the history or any curiosity behind it, and drive to the next in the list, unless tourists want to have a deeper understanding, more stops for pictures, contemplation or exploration.
In case tourists want to have more stops for any reason or spend more time at a sight, it should impact on the tour coverage reducing the number of seen sights.
The tour coverage depends on the tour rhythm as the guide goes at your pace, and also pretty much on the pick-up & drop-off locations.
On the last Fridays of the months is celebrated the "Friday without car" where the city administration closes down the streets of historical downtown. So if your tour falls on a "Friday without car" day, the suggested itinerary should be changed dramatically in the downtown. Either a bigger part of the itinerary is done on foot or part of the downtown should be skipped.
Other adversities may also slow down the tour progress such as traffic jam, and the group size that determines the size of the vehicle. Bigger vehicles assigned for bigger groups tend to be slower, and thus cover less ground and sights.
Just fill out the “PICK-UP” and “FINAL DROP-OFF” location fields to have the price for the tour guide to pick you up wherever you are, take you on the tour, and return you back to your place afterwards. The booking system may automatically reject too long-distance pick-ups and drop-offs, as the tour may NOT be worth taking because of the trip time to the city of the tour. In this case, you can either select closer locations or get in touch with us for options.
Tourists can hire this tour for between 4 and 10 hours. As São Paulo has a wide range of activities to do and sights to see, tourists can spend the entire day touring around the city.
