Must do tour - Perfect English language tour guide. Very knowledgeable and compromised with the tour. It was amazing, practical and good use of areas to be visited, tasty and worth the price. Also if problem occur, immediately the guide resolves.

Incredible Tour - Highly Recommend!! - Our tour with Camila was truly incredible! The tour was really well though out and overall well-rounded - we went everywhere from Copacabana to Santa Teresa to the Centre. The care that Camila put into each food location/snack and how she ties it in with the history of Rio really made for an entertaining and immersive day. It was great because Camila went at our pace and engaged with us the whole day - asking questions, hearing our plans for Rio. This was great because she then had recommendations for us during the rest of the trip and also catered the tour information to our interests! I would highly recommend this tour and I encourage you to book it early in your trip to Rio!

Cultural Insight thru Brazilian food! - Ramos was our guide, and we were the only couple on the tour. It was a walking tour and he thoroughly explained the culture surrounding the food and drinks of Brazil. It was comprehensive and gave us a greater understanding of Brazilian culture. It included varieties of fish at a local bar, delicious filet mignon and pineapple sandwiches, pastries from one of the oldest and historical cafes "Confeitaria Colombo", and ended with caipirinhas on the Escardari Selaron. This is a walking tour and be prepared for use of the metro and extensive walking. It is easily done and with the insight of Ramos and well worth the time and effort. I would highly recommend it, and ask for Ramos!

This tour exceeded our expectations - This tour brought us to local food and drink from all areas of Rio. These rich flavors, along with the histories of the neighborhoods, made for a full and memorable day. Our guide Camila was warm and welcoming; she knew the ins and outs of each neighborhood. We highly recommend.

Amazing tour guide! Do not miss this!!!! - Can we give Camila, our tour guide, 10 stars, 5 doesn't do her justice. Hands down, one of the most incredible tours we have ever done in all of our travels. Camila goes above and beyond to give you a personalized experience full of amazing food, Brazilian culture and overall a phenomenal day. We did a historical and gastronomy walking tour with Camila and it provided us with more than we anticipated. If you have the opportunity to tour with Camila, you will be as amazed as we are! True professional and a gracious hostess of Rio de Janeiro. Worth every penny and then some!

FANTASTIC FOOD AND HISTORY TOUR!!! - My partner and I went on this tour today with Camila, and we honestly can’t say anything bad about this tour! It made our experience in Rio FANTASTIC!!!! Camila is knowledgeable about this history of Brazil, and of all of the AMAZING food we ate and drank! She went out of her way to make sure we had a wonderful day! Seriously, if you are looking for an insiders view of Rio, and eat some SPECTACULAR food, look no further! This tour is the one for you! It felt like we went all over Rio in one day, and we ate our way through! Camila is wonderful and you are in GREAT hands with her! My partner and o have travelled to over 80 countries in the world so far, and have done a food type of tour in almost everyone, and this one is battling for the number one position. It was such a superb day that it may just edge out the tour we did in Istanbul. If you are coming to Rio, BOOK this tour!!!

Best food and culture tour in Rio! - Camila was an amazing tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and friendly. We viewed many beautiful local historical and cultural sites and tasted local food along the way including caipirinhas, pao con queijo, acai and other traditional foods. I was the only one booked for today and they still honored the tour which is amazing. Highly recommend!!
