Do this food tour!! - We do a lot of food tours around the world and this was one of the best ones! Excellent, personable guide. Good pace and information and of course FOOD. We were worried it wouldn’t have new food or locations because we’d been in Rio a few days doing other tours and eating a lot but it blew us away. Highly recommend!

GREAT TIME WITH GOOD EATS - Great food and even a better time; Vincente and Lulu are incredibly friendly and accommodating. Learned a lot and saw some cool sites in between stops, but the food was the main attraction. Vicente did my ordering but always asked if that was something I liked or if I wanted something else. I trusted his calls and was not disappointed. One of those experiences where you drop the client/customer aspect and just become friends hanging out. Take this tour.

Food and so much More!!! - Fantastic tour with two wonderful Guide/Driver - Vincent and Luli- who speak English, Spanish and Portuguese. We started with a farmer’s market where we saw and tried artisanal products including cheese, coconut treats and a delicious tapioca pizza. Next, we went to a fish market and had crab stew, cheese stuffed shrimp and local draft beer. Caipirinhas at a 100+ year old tavern with bolinho was a high point. We walked the streets of the Santa Teresa neighborhood and had the famous pao de queijo. We stopped for photos at various overlooks and saw Christ the Redeemer from various angles. A traditional Amazonia dish, açaí was next. Vincent heard we liked street art and took us to see the Kobra mural in the port area. Our final stop, we ate, drank and laughed perched on a wall with the locals looking out at the bay. Vincent also showed us the Selaron Steps. He worked with the artist and provided 100+ tiles for the project. My 18 year old and I were exhausted and full from our wonderful immersion into Rio’s local foods and neighborhoods. We recommend this tour and these guides. Covid protocols were followed Luli constantly sanitized our hands at the food stops, Sanitizer was provided in the car. Masks were worn except when eating.
