Great day in Rio - We spent our last day in Rio with the Food tour guided by Camila. We had already seen most of the highlights and this way we got an extra piece of Carioca culture. Camila is a top guide who certainly knows how to find the tasty spots for real Brazilian delicacies. The stops were well arranged and we tasted delicious things here. Camila's English level and factual knowledge ensured that we learned everything about this beautiful city. Definitely recommended for anyone who wants to get off the beaten track!

Amazing river of history! - Assume that Rio was the capital of the Empire, and also of the Republic until it was transferred to Brasília, therefore, it is a place full of history and culture to be known! Places with food and service Excellent! Camila has a lot of knowledge and many contacts, it is gratifying to walk and see how many people know her, this brings a lot of credibility and especially security! Rio is still beautiful!

Incredible Tour - Highly Recommend!! - Our tour with Camila was truly incredible! The tour was really well though out and overall well-rounded - we went everywhere from Copacabana to Santa Teresa to the Centre. The care that Camila put into each food location/snack and how she ties it in with the history of Rio really made for an entertaining and immersive day. It was great because Camila went at our pace and engaged with us the whole day - asking questions, hearing our plans for Rio. This was great because she then had recommendations for us during the rest of the trip and also catered the tour information to our interests! I would highly recommend this tour and I encourage you to book it early in your trip to Rio!
