Rio de Janeiro Food Tour

Loved this tour! We tried different foods and learned about the history of why the dish was/is popular. But along with that, we had history lesson about Brasil, Rio and the neighborhood we explored. The last part of the tour was going to an interesting little island in the lagoon which was an added bonus to the experience. Eduardo was full of information and kept the tour really fascinating! So glad we did this tour. 5 Stars!!

Everything was great, good tour

Es war eine tolle Tour mit Eduardo. Das Essen war großartig und zusätzlich gab er uns tolle Einblicke in die Stadtgeschichte. Und das mit so viel Leidenschaft. Einfach toll.

Eduardo is a very passionate guide. He will take you on an amazing journey through the history of Brazil, the hidden meaning behind food and all the stories that will fascinate you!

Food tour was very fun. Eduardo was passionate about everything he talked about, and we enjoyed his stories (we learned a lot) and food propositions! We would have liked more information about the food itself, like what should we try and eat in Rio. Only downside was the long time it took for everyone to pay their meal at each place (not Eduardo's fault!). Maybe something can be arranged for the pay process to be more efficient.

Eduardo is very knowledgeable and he will entertain you for hours with a lot of interesting information and anecdotes

So much interesting information. Good story telling and varation. Also really effective in ordering food.

He's all about providing true perspectives on the food and their history. Amazing stories and great dishes.

What an experience !! Not only the food but the history behind it and the neighbourhood, the fact that we pass from all different parts of the city, the kindest of Eduardo, it was something else. Would 100% recommend!!!!!

Eduardo is a poet, a muse. Take the tour and be guided on a culinary adventure through time and space. Highly recommended.

Eduardo did his best and it was really nice

I can fully recommend all the tours guided by Eduardo. He's very knowledgeable about history and culture. He gives historical background to every dish served on the tour in an entertaining way. Additionally he makes sure the tours are very affordable but yet you get to eat quite a lot. 5/5 totally recommend

This was a great informative and tasty food tour in a beautiful (and safe) part of Rio I would never have visited otherwise. Eduardo is super knowledgeable and passionate about the history of this area and all the food/drinks you consume on the tour. He also had tons of recommendations for the rest of our trip. Highly recommend taking this tour. Fantastic value and great memories. Thank you!

Great tour with excellent food! Eduardo knows a lot about Brazilian history and is able to connect the dishes and drinks we tasted with funny yet intriguing anecdotes. The dishes were tasty and affordable. Overall, a great night out in Rio!

Eduardo puts on a fantastic food tour in Barra. It is more than just food, but so much interesting history of the neighborhood, and of Rio De Janiero. Make sure you come hungry, all of the food we tried was delicious! Eduardo's stories are engaging and we really liked listening to the back-stories of what we were eating. Thank you so much for the fantastic tour! Highly recommend!

Eduardo was very profissional, while still being informal during the tour (he arrived at the meeting point with a beer in his hand). He has a tremendous knowledge about Brazil, Rio de Janeiro in general, and the neighborhood of Barra in specific, and is able to be precise, yet in-depth as he explains how the dishes evolved throughout History. The dishes and drinks proposed during the tour were delicious and very affordable! Barra is an expensive area of town, but Eduardo is a local and knows how to find the best stops! This tour is a hidden gem in Rio, for foodies and History buffs alike!

I thoroughly enjoyed this tour. Eduardo is very educated, and knowledgeable on Rio’s local food scene, and associated history. The food was delicious, especially the butter soaked Yukka, and Eduardo ensured that everyone had full bellies by the end of the night. Even better, Eduardo’s approach is professional whilst also being casual and laid back. Making you feel like you’re hanging out with a local, and a friend in Rio rather than queuing up as part of a regimented tour. Great experience. Thanks so much.

One of the best food tour! The food is exquisite for a really reasonable price (for those on a budget)! I found it nice to learn about the origin/ history of the drinks and food while drinking/eating. The guide knows the neighborhood very well and gives really great recommendations. The visit of the island at the end of the tour is also really nice. I really suggest you try this tour.

Muy entretenida aprendí mucho y la pasé muy divertido, comí cosas muy buenas y aprendí de el vecindario de Barra de Tijuca, lo recomiendo a los viajeros

A great tour. Eduardo has a deep but accessible knowledge of the intertwining of the history of his native Brazil and adopted Portugal. He showed the history and culture of Brazil through it’s food. Don’t eat for a couple days before this tour. We had it all: beef, pork, yucca, even chicken hearts all washed down with the best caipirinhas I’ve ever had. The Barras area has it all- the busy beach scene yet a chill island vibe. Do this tour!

Excellent tour filled with interesting and memorable history and really tasty food. Plus, you end the tour on a really cute island that is great for further exploring. A great way to see a part of Rio that I wouldn't otherwise have seen. It was also really easy to get around, we took the metro and then walked to the meeting point. Highly recommend.

The tour with Eduardo was better than we imagined. He is very intelligent, attentive, and told us many interesting stories and facts about the neighborhood. He took us to eat delicious food. He was pleasant the whole time with everyone. It was a very lively tour. I loved Barra, Rio de Janeiro is our guru.

Amazing!!!!! Highly recommended

Excellent tour. I loved the way he told us part of the history of Rio mixed with the food. It is a must do tour. 100% recommended. You will love it.

This is a must do tour when in Rio and I can’t recommend Eduardo and this tour enough. I was the only person on this tour. Eduardo was an excellent guide. His knowledge and detailed history of the area was most impressive and as a history lover and foodie I was highly impressed. I wasn’t expecting to gain so much knowledge and insight of the area. The food choices were great as well. The best feijoada I have ever eaten and I finally got to try carne seca com aipim na manteiga de garrafa. It was awesome and I really love the side of hot sauce that came with it and wanted to buy some to take with me but they were in short supply that day. The chicken hearts skewers were excellent as well and I will definitely be seeking them out in my travels. Sorry I couldn’t have paid you more for this tour Eduardo, as you saw I was having problems with my credit cards 😟 I hope to see you in Lisbon someday. GuruWalk has great guides and tours.
