Rio Gastronomy: Culture & History Through The Art Of Food - Walking Group Tour

Our guide was knowledgeable and gave us lots of details of the places we visited. Really enjoyed the food tasting . A great way to get introduced to Brazil

Camilla was very knowledgeable and attentive and I got to see some amazing parts of Ria that I wouldn’t have if I wasn’t on my own. It was a great experience.

This was one of the highlights of our trip to Rio. Camila was an amazing guide friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing Rio’s culture and history. The food was delicious, authentic, and plentiful, with a great variety of local specialties. We learned so much while exploring different neighborhoods and tasting incredible Brazilian cuisine. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio!

Camila was such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide, showing us to a number of local spots in Rio de Janeiro. We tried so many different foods along the tour from some of the more well known and iconic items to more local delicacies as well. It was a wonderful jam packed tour, where we really got to see parts of Rio de Janeiro we wouldn't have had the opportunity to visit on our own.

Camila is an excellent guide. We felt safe walking around the city with her. She is funny, engaging and clearly loves Rio de Janeiro. We tasted fruits we had never heard of, had the best coxinhas in Rio, wonderful pão de queijo and tasty beer, all while talking and walking around her favorite spots in town.

Viana started on time and we kept a steady pace, starting in Cocabanoa area, going to center city, the historic district and returning to Cocabanoa. Carnival was going on so we saw a lot of local parades. We visited the main tourist sites. We had to make some changes in the food stops due to carnival and my wife’s lactose intolerance. Viana over came the obstacles and continued on with a positive attitude. Couldn’t not had a better guide.

We were so impressed with our tour guide Heloisa! She was super friendly, upbeat and very attentive and knowledgeable - and she totally made our day! Cannot say enough good things about her - her English was impeccable, she was a great listener as well and was able to answer all of our questions! This was a wonderful food tour for someone who does not want to feel “big and bloated” at the end - it was the perfect mix of sampling great Brazilian foods at all the local places while getting great exercise! Extra appreciation for Heloisa showing us how to use the subway, which was very useful! 10/10 will book with this company again!

Camila provided an exceptional food tour. Not just the food that locals eat and drink but a history of Rio that was entertaining. She adjusted the experience to meet our expectations. She made sure we saw the special areas of Rio. I highly recommend Camila to any person visiting Rio whether a foodie or not.

We had a great day in Rio and saw many areas of the city. E g many sights in the city center, Santa Teresa, Lapa and the famous stairs. We really appreciated the information about the culture and the daily life in Rio. We do food tours all over the world and this one comes long down the list when it comes to food (1 sandwich to share for 2, 1 acai smoothie shared with 4 People, 1 coffee per person, 1 icetea for 5 people, 1 empanada for 2 persons, 1 cake per person, beer, 1 new type of bread with ham and cheese inside, fejoada + arrancini for late lunch (see comment below), 1 caparina per person). Late in the afternoon we asked if we would stop for lunch - and the guide said there would be no lunch just small bites along the way. What we will give a big credit for is that our guide took our input and gave us a very late lunch (Fejoada + arrancini) at a really cosy restaurant in Santa Teresa. Therefore my recommendation is that you set your expectations right before you go on the tour - after all it was very expensive compared to the food we got. So go for the culture and walk around in Rio.

This was the best tour we’ve ever been on, thanks to our awesome tour guide, Camila. If you want to learn about the history, culture, and flavors of Rio, this tour is a must. It’s absolutely worth every penny. Camila was hilarious and such a joy to be around as we walked through Rio. I highly recommend booking this tour!
