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!”
Review of Rio’s Lapa pub crawl, with samba, cachaça, live music, club entry, practical tips, costs, timing, and honest drawbacks.
“What a great experience and highly recommend. Our guides, Marc and Julia, were fantastic. They took our group to a few live music bars and a few clubs. You’ll get to go to some great spots that you wouldn’t know about otherwise. 10 of 10!”
Explore Rio after dark with guided stops in Lapa, clubs, live music, and possible favela shows, with transport and entry fees included.
“The guide took us to local bars that we probably wouldn't have felt safe exploring alone. The guide tailored the experience to our preferences. The pubs were lively, featuring live classical Brazilian music. We ended the night at a nightclub, finishing early around 11:30 PM. We found it strange that we were the only ones with the guide. We had expected to share the experience with other tourists.”
Explore Rio’s Lapa by night with five bars, caipirinhas, Brazilian snacks, samba, and local guides in a small group.
“The best part of our trip! We got to experience authentic Brazilian food and drinks like the locals. Carol was an amazing tour guide who navigated the tour while translating every step of the way. She took us to hidden places we wouldn’t have found on our own. We also got to experience authentic Samba and meet a local celebrity artist. Did I mention the food and drinks were amazing? Would definitely book the tour again when I return to Rio.”
