I felt completely safe which helped me feel much more comfortable for the rest of my time in Rio. The next day we found another food market and walked around feeling very confident of buying different things just like I lived there. An amazing day which weeks later we still talk about.
We did this food tour early in our trip and it helped us navigate the city and know what to order for the rest of our stay. We loved going through the market and sampling the exotic fruits, tasting foods from different regions of Brazil and meeting other travelers.
Our group had a vegetarian, a pescatarian, a celiac and shellfish allergy, which must have been quite challenging, but Marcela executed this perfectly and met everyone’s needs and expectations. The only thing she could not control was the weather, but we had so much fun drinking under the umbrellas while it poured down with rain. The entire experience was a 10/10.
This is a 5 hour tour but the time just flew by! All the food was so delicious too – we had amazing exotic fruits to start, then went to a series of fantastic bars and restaurants to try street food and main dishes, finishing up in a super fun Saturday party area!
The food was so tasty, totally worth it. The group was small and we all got to know each other really well which was lovely. Thank you so much Tom, we will cherish memories of today for a long long time!
I loved this tour! I have already lived in Rio for one year and the guide still showed me things I had never experienced before! Food is a wonderful way to connect with local culture, customs, and even the language!
Believe the hype, this tour is fantastic! Everything we ate was beautifully made and the experience unforgettable. The follow up email after the tour was superb with Tom recommending a range of fantastic restaurants and activities. Can’t recommend this enough, a must do for a lover of food!
If you do only one thing in Rio, do this. The guide’s food knowledge was great, and his historical anecdotes and cultural knowledge of the city kept us enthralled for the whole tour. And the food was amazing! The best tour I have ever taken. Don’t miss it! Bill and Kayoko (USA and Japan)
What an amazing introduction to Rio. I’ve been on food tours around the world and this was the very best. The guide had us tasting all kinds of foods including street snacks that we could then identify later on our own, opening up a world of culinary delights that we may have been too afraid to try otherwise.
This tour was my husband’s favorite part of our two week trip to Brazil. The tour focuses on food, but you also learn about the city and local culture. The walking is easy-paced and it just worked out as a really lovely afternoon. A “do not miss” experience!
