We went on the tour after arriving in Rio and wanting to learn more about Brazilian food and culture. The process of booking was extremely easy and the team were on hand to answer and questions we had. We loved every second of the tour as it showed a side of Rio that you would not see without the team’s help.

Description

This delicious introduction to food and drinks from around Brazil is unlike any other. Over the course of 5 hours, we'll eat and drink our way across the most interesting parts of Rio that most visitors never get to see.

We'll start in one of Rio's bustling street markets, where we'll taste exotic fruits and street food dishes. After that, we'll head to my favorite Portuguese restaurant in Lapa for a taste of old-school Brazil, where the waiters dress in traditional white jackets, and serve the most delicious salt cod croquettes in town. From there, we'll wander toward Gloria, a beautiful neighborhood boasting some amazing street art and the famous Selaron steps.

We'll explore the neighborhoods of Catete and Flamengo, eating delicacies from Northeastern Brazil and the Amazon. It's Rio's best foodie adventure (top rated across all sites and featured on Netflix's "Somebody Feed Phil", NBC, ITV and ABC.

Absolutely a must for everyone interested in great food, local surprises and a great time!
The Eat Rio Tour is a must for all of you interested in tasting really great food, get to know Rio from an insiders perspective and for you looking for a great time around some of the best parts of Rio. Add to this a sightseeing tour that takes you to several of the more famous sights in Rio and you are in for a stunning 5-6 hours. So recommended!
Best Food Tour I Have Done
Brilliant tour – well planned, well guided, relaxed, excellent guide and very well organised. This is a real insight into Brazilian food and culture and you only scratch the surface – could do another one and still enjoy it. Also, Eat Rio provide exceptional advice on Rio, places to go, where to eat and how to get there – and an excellent summary of what you saw on the tour.
