Great fruit tour! - We had so much fun with Hayza as she guided us around the market and taught us about the many delicious fruits of Brazil! We got to try many different fruits that we had never had before and are unable to find in the US. Everything was really nice. I would recommend doing this tour!

Tour at the fair - Very interesting tour for those who want to live a bit of the daily life of the Carioca, with the explosion of colors, perfumes and sounds of a street fair. We have tasted delicious fruits and know a little about the history of each one. Super approved.

Great experience! - We travel somewhat regularly, and have found that the local food/fruit/market tours offer an incredible value for a peek (and possibly taste) of local life. This tour was once again an incredible highlight amongst our group! Our guide took us around a local market, showing us different foods and explaining how some are used within local cuisine. Then we sat down to taste a whole bunch of tropical and unique fruits! The entire experience was the perfect way to start the day.

Epicenter of exotic fruits - I'm a hardcore foodie and, despite being Brazilian, I was very surprised by the amount of exotic fruits that I didn't know about! Our tasting guide was very knowledgeable, friendly, and generous, so we got to taste all kinds of fruits as well as farmers market products. If you are a foodie and proud, book now!

God save the queen of foods - What a market, with everything one would like to eat, taste and drink. All done by local people with their own flair. What needs someone after this visit? Obviously a hammock and a cat.
