Rio Roots Food Tour with 12+ Tastings

Think Rio de Janeiro is all beaches, samba, and caipirinhas? Think again. Join us for a culinary adventure through Centro, Rio's historic heart, where traders, immigrants, writers, politicians, and everyday Cariocas have been eating, drinking, and debating for centuries. Over 12+ tastings, you'll explore hidden bars, bustling markets, and old-school eateries that most visitors walk straight past. Along the way, feast on Lebanese kibe and esfiha in the city's historic Saara district, snack on golden cod fritters, grilled sardines, slow-cooked beans, and succulent pork picanha, sip a refreshing lime batida made with cachaça, and sink your teeth into one of Rio's most legendary sandwiches stuffed with roast pork and sweet pineapple. Between bites, you'll discover grand churches, one of the world's most spectacular libraries, lively markets, and the stories that shaped the city. Come to Rio de Janiero for the beaches, stay for the food.
