Great local fruit tasting - Erica was a true fruit loving tour guide. She brought fruit from her own garden as well as the Ipanema market so that we could try local fruit in season. After the fruit tasting, we toured the market and learned about other local food. It was fun to compare tasting notes with the others on the tour.

Hayza is the best! - Our guide Hayza was absolutely amazing! She was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and showed us all of the amazing local fruits. The tour went beyond fruits, she taught us a lot about Brazilian food culture and about the local area. Would highly recommend this tour!

Such a fun and fruit-filled experience!! - This was SUCH a delightful experience!!! I found this company on a random travel blog and I am so glad we had the opportunity to participate in the fruit tour. There is not much walking - the tour part of it was about an hour at a slow pace around a very nice fruit market, with the guide explaining what each fruit is and where it comes from. Then we all sat around a table and tried a bunch of different fruits. It was awesome! The guide was knowledgeable and personable, the fruits were fresh and delicious, and we all left happy (even the 5 year old, who admittedly was a bit bored during the tour part, haha). Thank you for a great morning!!

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.
