Come on an empty stomach! - Our guide, Giuliano, was great! We met at an easy to find location in Japan Town and started our gastronomic tour, starting off with a hearts of palm pastel and sugar cane juice to was it down. Ducting into a small Japanese food store, Giuliano selected each of us a hand sushi triangle to consume in the small Japanese garden later. Next we strolled through the bustling streets and walked into a empanada cafe and had an outstanding “saltena” empanada. That empanada was one of the best I’ve ever had! We walked into an older, quieter area and admired old architecture of the middle class. It was a hot day, so I was thankful to end the tour at Kazu Cake, where we enjoyed a beverage and (yes more food) a delicious dessert called Choux au craquelin / xi-cream cake! It was a fantastic food tour and you won’t be disappointed!

If you want a real taste of Liberdade, do this tour! - We loved this tour. Our guide Giuliano was charming and funny and full of stories and amusing anecdotes about this fascinating district. He was so considerate to welcome us with a bottle of water and line up for all the wonderful food we got to sample. Best of all was the quaint road off the busy market where we found relief from the crowd and some unexpected beauty – as well as the sweet treat at the end. It was so good, I dream about it. We left the tour absolutely stuffed and totally happy for the time spent. Do yourself a favour and book this tour, it's an absolute bargain for such a fun and fulfilling couple of hours.
