Food and Drinks. Although it is mainly a food tour, since we are exploring the bar food scene, we will also be exploring the drinks. So, at each stop we will be trying a different drink. The guide’s commentary and any extra recommendations are also part of the experience. Essentially, you can leave your wallet tucked away and just enjoy the night.

Please be sure and let us know if you (or anyone in your group) have a dietary restriction or allergy when you purchase your tickets. We can accommodate vegetarians, though options are somewhat limited and the culinary experience may differ from the standard menu. We do not recommend this tour for vegans, as traditional bar food in Rio typically focuses heavily on meat and seafood.

If you have allergies (say, gluten or nuts) or other restrictions, be sure to inform the tour operator when booking; they will do their best to make substitutions or advise you on what to avoid. Always communicate your needs beforehand so they can be prepared.

No, we can't accommodate walk-ins. This is because of the agreement we have with our local partners and the insurance company.

Our Food Tour typically starts in the evening around 7:00 PM (occasionally also available at around 2:00 PM in high season). It lasts approximately 3 to 3.5 hours, covering about 1 mile (1.5 kilometers) at a relaxed pace. We visit four bars, spending roughly 40 minutes at each. Duration may slightly vary depending on group dynamics and how much fun everyone is having

Our food tour runs with a minimum of one guest, and a maximum of around 8 (eight). On one hand, we have the utmost respect for solo travelers, so we will never cancel a tour due to low attendance - every single visitor in our city is special and welcome. On the other hand, a maximum of 8 people per tour allows us to get to know our guests individually; it enables you to get to know each other; and it allows us to collaborate with bars whose establishments are small and/or busy.

Yes. While adult beverages are a highlight, non-alcoholic alternatives are available at each stop. For instance, you could have a soft drink, juice, or water in place of beers or cocktails. The goal is for everyone to savor the experience.

Tours are held rain or shine. That’s how much we love food! We ask you to check the weather beforehand and bring an umbrella if necessary. :)

Our tours are primarily designed for adults (18+), but teenagers (13+) are welcome if accompanied by an adult. Non-alcoholic drink options are available.

The tour involves walking short distances (2-3 blocks) between bars, except between the second and third locations, which is approximately a 1 km (15-20 minute) walk. If needed, we can arrange a taxi or Uber for this section (at our expense, don't worry we'll take care of you).
