Great Experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Camila was a great host, spent the day together trying different foods from local shops whilst getting all sorts of history about Rio

Made my trip—by far the best tour I’ve ever done

Published on Feb, 2025

I’ve done a handful of tours over the years (in Japan, India, Hong Kong, Singapore) and while many of them were great and very memorable, this was far and away the best one I’ve done. Camila was so warm and open and I felt like I got to actually learn about her life in Rio—it went way beyond food (although everything was delicious too and not things I would have found on my own.) I cannot recommend this tour highly enough as a way to experience Rio. I felt so taken care of the entire day. Camila is truly wonderful and taking this tour has made my trip to Rio immeasurably better.

Bruno was fantastic!

Published on Jan, 2025

This food tour was amazing. Bruno was our guide and he was fantastic. He was so knowledgeable about Rio de Janeiro, the culture, the food, the history, and Brazil . He took great care of us. I highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Phenomenal Tour - best ever!

Published on Jan, 2025

I cannot say enough about how fantastic our food tour was with Camila! We were lucky and it it was only two of us on the tour, and Camila had Julio assisting her since he was learning the tour himself. Starting with our tour guide, Camila was so friendly and energetic, and shared so many fun details and facts about the places we stopped in or walked by and saw, as welll as the food and culture. We joked that it seemed everywhere we went everyone knew Camila. She made sure we were comfortable and had a good time. We ate and drank SO MANY THINGS! Açaí, both traditional and sweetened, fried bread cheese, fried chicken with traditional sauces, a beef sandwich with cheese and pineapple, cashew fruit juice, a coconut cream liquor, a chicken and cream cheese-like fried snack (coxinha), pastries of our choice at a famous bakery, cheese bread, a local beer, local candies, and a caipirinha cocktail. All while walking through sights in Copacabana, then subway to downtown to see the library, theater, cathedral view, aqueduct view, and other beautiful sights, then tram/taxi to Santa Teresa area with many more great sights including a great vantage point at a park, the Selina stairs and another great vantage point at the top floor of a very nice hostel. It was a jam-packed, super fun and filling 6 hours. Absolute best tour in Brazil that we went on and one of the top food tours across the world we’ve booked (we have been on dozens all over). Thank you Camila!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

Delectables delight!!

Published on Jan, 2025

Fantastic experience with Camila who not only had us try foods the locals eat, but gave us tidbits of history in between bites to help give us a chance to digest the food. And all the food was different surprising and delicious! A true gem of a tour!!
