Rio de Janeiro Food Tour

Eduardo was fantastic, his knowledge of the region and food was delight as we tasted some incredible food!

This was a great afternoon. Eduardo is very knowledgeable with a passionate, detailed delivery of the area's history and modern relevance. His restaurant and food recommendations were delicious and I'm very glad I took part in his tour. Would recommend.

This was a good tour, very informative, great energy, highly highly recommend

Everything was so interesting and amuzing.

We really enjoyed our evening with Eduardo. Not only was it a great local insight into the neighbourhood and also Brazilian food, Eduardo was also very informative from a historical perspective. He was entertaining and engaging and we highly recommend doing this tour with him. Obrigada Eduardo!

Eduardo was extremely knowledgeable and made the sun come out on an otherwise rainy day in Rio. He made the historical information he deliverd accessible and entertaining. We are foodies at heart, and you may find that an interesting part of the tour, if you don't chicken out. We are not allowed to drink alcohol in the street back home, so having some food then walking, hearing some fun stories, and having a beverage along the way was spot on!

Amazing experience, the food is delicious and affordable, and I really love the history part of the tour

I tasted so many local dishes I would never have tried otherwise. All delicious! Eduardo was personable, informative, and enthusiastic. Highly recommend.

Great food and great stories! Can’t recommend it enough!

Eduardo's tour was one of the BEST tours I've ever taken on Guruwalk. He focuses on a neighborhood that is not frequented by international tourists, but it's worth the journey out here for a unique and unforgettable experience! Eduardo grew up in Barra, and he started by giving us a detailed overview of the history of the neighborhood in the context of the development of Rio. He has a PhD in Anthropology, and his deep expertise and passion showed in all of the explanations he gave. We walked to a gastronomic street and sat down at two different restaurants, where he ordered iconic dishes for us to try, and he provided detailed explanations of the stories and history behind the dishes and drinks. Even after our delicious meal, the experience still went on! We took a short boat ride to Gigóia island and discovered a car-free oasis. Who knew that a place like this even existed in the city? We strolled around the tiny island before it was finally time to say good-bye, and we walked away having learned so much about the area from a passionate local expert, all while enjoying delicious food and making new friends!

Tuvimos una experiencia fantástica con Eduardo, el mix entre comida e historia fue super interesante! El cierre visitando la isla es increible. Sin duda lo recomiendo!

Highly recommend. Eduardo Was super knowledgeable about the history of the ingredients/ food of not just the region, but the global influences. Great Brazilian food at each of the locations and super flexible to us.

Eduardo was a fantastic guide! He took us to a few restaurants in the Barra region and explained the history behind not only the local Brazilian dishes but also gave us great historical context about the region and the city on the whole. He also took us around a small nearby island which was a very welcome surprise. Overall, a truly wonderful experience and would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a 10/10 fun, informative walking tour!

Informative host and took us to areas we would have never have found/visited if it wasn’t for the tour.. definitely recommend for a evening in Rio

Eduardo è stato veramente chiaro nelle sue spiegazioni, è un appassionato nonché esperto di antropologia pertanto ci ha raccontato nel dettaglio come è nato il quartiere barra da tijuca. Ci ha fatto assaggiare tante specie brasiliane che da sola non avrei mai ordinato nei ristoranti qui a Rio. Grazie per questa esperienza

We had an amazing time on this food tour! It brought us to a part of the city we hadn't been to yet. The restaurants were awesome and Eduardo was super prepared and ordered food ahead for us. He was also very fun and expressive in his story telling about the history of Rio. I would really recommend this tour to anyone!!

Eduardo has great knowledge about history and places. It is very interesting listen to him.

Great tour. Highly recommend. The food and drinks were delicious. Eduardo was great and is very knowledgeable about the Barra district.

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.
