Delicious food - Gabby was our tour guide and she was great! Our flight was 3 hours late, which made us late for our hotel pickup. Then there was a mixup with where we were to be picked up, but Gary and Alex (our driver) were very accommodating and took us to a wonderful Brazilian restaurant. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was superb. We only were able to experience one place Due to the late pickup, but I would highly recommend this tour and would Definitely book it again.

Best first day in Rio! - Gabby was an amazing and knowledgeable guide and we really got to know the wonderful city of Rio through the food. It was our first day in Rio and the best way to see so many neighborhoods and try so many traditional foods. The best part part was the flexibility in trying foods; you could get what you want according to your tastes and needs. We highly recommend this tour.

Good tastes - Flavio was a wonderful guide, and provided the history of the various neighborhoods we visited. There were 6 stops and we had a good variety of tastes. You have to buy your own food, but everything was reasonably priced.
