Taste 33 Brazilian foods in three hours, from tropical fruit and caipirinhas to street snacks, meats, sweets, and local bar fare in Rio.
“What you see on Viator is NOT what you get. You do not get to try 33 Brazilian foods. I can only specifically speak for my instructor, Roberto. He is a bundle of energy, very charismatic but does not take cleanliness seriously in the kitchen. There were multiple times where he touched his phone, coughed into his hands, raked through his hair before touching the food. We did not see him wash his hands throughout the session. At one point he ate over the food and his saliva dripped onto the food. The cherry on top was when he was talking with food in his mouth and he SPIT all…”

Explore Paraty’s UNESCO-listed old town, learn its colonial stories, and taste local Gabriela cachaça on a 90-minute guided walk.
“The tour of Paraty was absolutely wonderful. Thiago is incredibly knowledgeable, bringing the town’s history to life and helping you truly understand its roots. A journey through the past, expertly guided and deeply engaging. The cachaça tasting is also a must! Daniela”
See São Paulo’s churches, street art, markets, museums, and parks on a private five-hour tour with fruit tasting and hotel or airport pickup.
“This was indeed individually-designed private tour. We asked our guide-driver Mauro to show us places, which we still have not seen in SP, and he was able to show us all during 5 hours”
Review of a Petrópolis day trip from Rio with Imperial Museum, cathedral, Bohemia brewery, lunch buffet, transport, and practical tips.
“When we made the reservation, there were at least two pick-up options right next to our hotel in Leblon (a very popular location). But after the purchase, we were told the nearest pick-up point was actually 2.2 km away, and at a very early hour in the morning. This wouldn’t have been a problem if we had been picked up where we originally booked, but the company made no effort to respect that or to ask the driver to meet us there. The worst part is that, on our way to the only pick-up point they left us with, we were robbed. It turned what was supposed to be a…”
Taste Brazil beyond caipirinhas on a four-hour Rio food tour, with Amazonian dishes, local drinks, history, samba, and neighborhood walks.
“We had a wonderful experience with Lia, who showed us around the city, told us all about the different foods and drinks and their meanings, explained so much about the Carioca culture and finished the tour in a vibrant samba gathering. It was the perfect introduction to Rio de Janeiro, and we totally recommend it!”
Taste Japanese, Brazilian, Korean, and Argentinian street food while exploring Liberdade’s history in a small São Paulo walking tour.
“Fun and filling afternoon. Giulano, an Italian who has lived in Brazil for many years, was engaging, knowledgeable, very fluent in English, energetic and intelligent. He basically shared a variety of his favorite Brazilian street snacks (ex. empanadas, pastel Japones), and took us an engrossing 3-hour tour of Liberdade. His knowledge of the area and of Brazil’s history is deep, wide-ranging and comprehensive. Highly recommend.”
Review of Rio’s shared speedboat tour to Cagarras Islands, with swimming stops, cold beer, Rio views, practical tips, and honest value advice.
“Não foi agradável ter que insistir em fazer o passeio comprado pois o capitão descartou logo a ida às ilhas cagarras. E não foi pelas condições do mar e clima que estavam perfeitas para o passeio. Ele não pode mudar a seu gosto a rota. Ainda mais que o pacote é ILHAS CAGARRAS! Mas ele aceitou a minha colocação e finalmente fomos até as ilhas. Mas me pareceu muito suspeito . Também não tem aquela prancha azul que está na foto, nem guia que fale inglês.”
Taste 15 or more Brazilian fruits in an Ipanema farmers market, with local stories, juices, nuts, and practical Rio food culture.
“Our guide was incredible at presenting a myriad of tropical and Brazilian fruits! 🍋🥭🥥🍍🥑 Most are incredibly tasty! Will do it again with my family next time in Rio.”
Taste Japanese-Brazilian street food and learn Liberdade’s migration story on a small-group English tour in São Paulo.

Start from a city, or start from a kind of day.
