Despite us being late (listen to the advice about the traffic!) Eduardo did the whole tour just for us - the food was great, the history was really interesting with a lot of side stories delivered in a really engaging way, and my favourite part was the trip to the island.
Wonderful tour with Eduardo - great food and conversation with someone who is obvious passionate about Rio and its fabulous culinary scene. Be sure to check out his tour. It’ll be well worth it!
My friend and I took the walking tour with Kate instead of Eduardo, because he was sick. But Kate was lovely and very knowledgeable. She gave a broad historic context of the spots we visited. I had little knowledge of the city’s history before, so for me it was a lot of new information. Thanks Kate!
Eduardo is humorous and an excellent storyteller. I truly appreciated his passion for exploring both the local stories and the bigger picture of the city. He helped me discover Barra from a completely different perspective, and in many ways, his storytelling felt like Barra’s own story coming to life. He not only shared what happened historically, but also used a thoughtful, critical approach to help me understand what has shaped Brazil and Barra into what they are today. Of course, he also introduced me to some unique local cuisine, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I highly recommend his tour, especially for those who are genuinely passionate about learning more about Brazil.
