his isn’t your average pub crawl — it’s a night inside Rio’s true party soul. Guided by Carol, a local mixologist and storyteller, you’ll explore five iconic bars across Lapa, each one revealing a new flavor, rhythm, and local ritual. From craft beers to fruit-infused caipirinhas, every stop blends traditional Brazilian bites with the city’s electric energy. Between bars, you’ll pass landmarks like the Selarón Steps and Lapa Arches, meeting fellow travelers and locals along the way. It’s a night that fuses iconic landmarks, local flavors, and real connection, half sightseeing, half celebration. Expect laughter, drinks that tell stories, and a social vibe that turns strangers into friends. You’ll even take home a Cook in Rio souvenir shot glass — and our Five-Star Guarantee: if it’s not five-star, you don’t pay for four.

Very friendly and knowledgeable about all sorts of things
"Came out smarter" might be our new favorite compliment! 😉 Exploring a city's nightlife is always so much more fun when you have a guide who can share all those quirky, knowledgeable details along the way. Glad you enjoyed the drinks and the conversation! Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta
Hayza was the absolute best even with just two of us. We learned so much and had so much fun because Hayza knew where to go and who to talk to. This was awesome!
Thank you so much! 🍹 We're delighted Hayza made your evening such a memorable one. Even with a small group, she loves creating a fun and authentic nightlife experience while introducing guests to Rio's local bar scene. We truly appreciate your recommendation! Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta
Had the best time.. having a guide introduce us to Lapa was amazing

A wonderful experience at night of Rio de Janeiro, its culture, its flavors and its people.
¡Muchas gracias! Nos alegra muchísimo que hayas disfrutado del paseo, la cultura y los sabores de Río 🌇 Saludos, Maira de Cook in Fiesta
It was an incredible evening. Hayza-our guide was amazing. She was a professional chef so had so much insight into the food and drink and how it is associated with the culture of Brazil. Great communication with locations and directions to our meeting point. From there we had great food and drinks all with explanations of how they relate to Brazil and it’s culture . The walk from the various locations was very easy with information offered on the way in a casual way not a stuffy tourist guide. There was lots of talking and laughing. It was as if we had known her for years and just going out with a friend. She was always making sure we were doing great and safe throughout the experience up to the point of verifying our Uber driver’s name and we were on ur way….. This was our first tour in Rio and it was a great way to start. Thank you for a great evening.
Love the energy in this review, and thanks for noting the clear directions and relaxed, local vibe, we train guides to be friendly, informative, and safety-conscious, Uber-check and all. Walking, tasting, and laughing with a guide who feels like a friend is exactly the point. 🍸 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta
I had a good time. Very knowledgeable tour guide. I enjoyed this tour. I will visit Brazil again and recommend this tour.
It’s great to hear you had a fun and informative time on the tour! Hayza works hard to make each stop enjoyable while sharing her local knowledge, and we’re glad you appreciated it. We’d love to have you back for more tastings in Brazil! 🍸 Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta
Hayza is a great guide. This experience will have you lit, but the food is really good and a nice touch to make sure you don’t get super drunk. And the Selaron Steps were empty so we got great pics!
Great and very knowledgeable and fun! Took us to really experience Brazil. We went to 4 spots and every spot was just amazing
Great experience - nice to get to know a new area. Our guide was amazing and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend.
So happy you enjoyed exploring a new area with our amazing guide! Thank you for the kind words, and we hope to welcome you again soon. 🌎 Cheers! Maira from Cook in Fiesta
Hayza was a fantastic guide with excellent English. She took us to 5 bars around the Lapa district and we sampled authentic cuisine and drinks. Hayza was very personable and chatty and we enjoyed hearing about her day to day life in Rio. She knows Lapa area very well and made us feel very safe. We enjoyed all of the bars she took us to, they felt very authentic and she ordered the drinks/food they were most famous for. I'd highly recommend a tour with Hayza.
