Taste Rio’s bar food, local drinks, and Carioca culture on a small-group walking tour through four family-owned Copacabana bars.

“Great tour to start your trip to Rio. Short walk to different bars, all with different vibes and great food. Variety of food and drinks, not everything is fried and I really appreciated that. I Recommend to do it when you arrive to Rio because the tour guide will give you a lot of good information and recommendations for the rest of your trip. It was a small group so you’ll have opportunity to talk with everyone, make friends and experience other cultures. The tour guide Murillo is great! He gives you the locals experience and talks about the history of the city and Brazilian culture in a fun way…”

4.Food Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 26 reviews · 3 hours · from $60

Taste Amazonian fruits, fish, tapioca, açaí, and guaraná on a small-group food walk through Manaus’s Adolpho Lisboa Market.

“Guide had only a very basic knowledge of English. Difficult to comprehend him and difficult for him to understand us. He gave very little information to us about where we visited. The transportation was in his personal car that was way too small for a driver plus four adults passengers. He kept promising that a bigger car was coming but it never happened. He did not take us to see all the market. We missed the fish market almost totally. Saw only a bit of it as we later discovered on another market tour. This tour was not even worth half the value of what we paid. I will not…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6 reviews · 2 hours · from $70

Taste Brazilian snacks, beer, and ice cream while exploring Pinheiros street art on a relaxed, small-group São Paulo walking tour.

“I really enjoyed this tour! Our guide Giuliano was super friendly and fun, and we had a great time with the rest of the group as well. The whole experience felt very relaxed – not too rushed, but still with plenty to see. We got to enjoy a nice variety of street art, and I especially liked that the food portions were generous — not just a little bite or half a sandwich, but a full serving. The ice cream at the end was also a cute touch, and we even got to choose two flavors, which I loved! The only reason I’d rate it more like 4.5 instead of…”
