Explore Rio’s Lapa with samba, cachaça, local bars, live music, and a welcoming international group on this four-hour night tour.
“Great way to meet a fun group in Rio and experience Lapa with the comfort of a local guide! We went on a slow night and it was still a blast, so it’s also a way to spend one of the slower weekday nights out on the town! Everything was explained clearly and meetup/movement between bars was easy!”
Explore Curitiba’s local pub scene on a guided food tour with three bars, Brazilian snacks, friendly hosts, and flexible Saturday routes.
“It was an amazing tour Carol and Guilherme have an amazing tour. If you are trying to experience Curitiba I highly recommend this tour. It’s fun, amazing food, great drinks and excellent conversation. They really make you feel like family and you get to meet some of the friendliest people in Curitiba. I highly recommend this tour and will definitely do it again!”

Explore Vila Madalena and Beco do Batman with Leticia, pairing São Paulo street art, local bars, Brazilian drinks, and neighborhood stories.
“I would say this is one of the best tours for the price I have ever been on. Leticia is very out going and personable guide. I learned a lot about the history of Brazil, saw beautiful street art, and even met some of the artists. It was very fun to sit around, chat and have a beverage from authentic place. 10/10 would recommend to a friend, a must if you are in São Paulo.”

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…”

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.…”
