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.”

Taste Manaus through its market, regional fruits, tapioca, fish, açaí, and guaraná on a three-hour small-group food walk.
“Guide had only a very basic knowledge of English. Difficult to comprehend him and difficult for him to understand us. He gave very little information to us about where we visited. The transportation was in his personal car that was way too small for a driver plus four adults passengers. He kept promising that a bigger car was coming but it never happened. He did not take us to see all the market. We missed the fish market almost totally. Saw only a bit of it as we later discovered on another market tour. This tour was not even worth half the value of what we paid. I will not…”
