The 4 Breweries Tours in Brazil That Earn Their Price

1.Petrópolis Trip with Palace, Imperial Museum & Brewery

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 42 reviews · 9 hours · from $55Our pick

Review of Rio’s Petrópolis day trip, with Quitandinha, Imperial Museum, cathedral, Santos Dumont House, transport, price, and tips.

“Liked Imperial Palace visit and Santos Dumont House (optional). Crystal Palace was a dull and I didn't like a 30 minute stop at a motorway café or long visit to chocolate shop. Fixing pick up place was really bad. Place and time were changed but the guide wasn't told... Guide remained very calm with people who were late. Not easy when such a big group. I had the worst seat on the bus, next to the guide. Large sticker on the window blocked a lot of the beauty views. As with all trips I've done in Rio, I wish there was a central pickup point rather than 2 hours driving…”

2.Petropolis City Tour with Imperial Museum and Optional Lunch & Bohemia Brewery

Review of the Petropolis tour from Rio, with the Imperial Museum, cathedral, brewery option, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“Let me begun by saying that my husband and I are well traveled and love/ appreciate tours of all kinds... but are very frustrated by companies who do them badly and without concern or care for their guests. In my opinion, Rio Carioca Tours is a greedy, tour churning company without respect for its guests, policies, or guides. A few notes: The "14 people max" promise in the tour description is a lie. They crammed 44 on our bus and spent two hours picking them all up (and another two dropping them off). Torture! We only stopped outside most of the listed attractions to take pictures, not enter or experience.…”

Review of the Petropolis City Tour from Rio, with imperial sights, Bohemia Brewery, lunch, transport details, costs, and honest advice.

“We got picked up at 7 am, drive and picked up other passengers in a van that didn’t speak English, picked up a (friend in a fevella )of the driver, stopped for him to get breakfast, then after 2 hours dropped us off at another van to pick up more people for another hour. The drive from one point to another is around 18 minutes total. After 3 hours in a van, we drove another hour to a gas station where we could buy a water. We stayed there for 20 minutes for some reason and then proceeded up the hill. The tour was split English and Portuguese which which…”
