Good 3-hour experiences fill up weeks ahead; the great ones go first. Below: the 6 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
A 3-hour Rocinha walk with a local guide, minivan pickup, and a community contribution. Uneven steps, strong context, real Rio.
“Exactly as described. Feel confident that this tour is well worth it. Highly recommend it to everyone”
Taste 33 Brazilian favorites in 3 hours in Ipanema, with caipirinha, juices, dessert, and a small-group guided stop at local spots.
“This experience was so amazing !! We had to make a last minute change due to a conflict and they were so accommodating!! Initially we the cooking class booked but I’m glad we did this tasting class instead . Great host ! Food was amazing and after we went to a bar and it was sooo much good conversation! I would definitely recommend! This is a must do !! You will not regret it . Pay attention to the numbers on the wall and it’s on the second floor. It was our first time in Brazil and had to ask for directions everyone was so nice !!”
A 3-hour Rio street art walk led by a specialist guide, with a tram ride to Olympic Boulevard and the world’s largest mural.
“The tour was great. Learning the history of the Santa Teresa area and the artists. Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable.”
3-hour Brazilian cooking class in Rio with Chef Simone. Make feijoada or moqueca, taste five dishes and two drinks in a small group.
“Chef Simone is enthusiastic, loves sharing the connection between Brazilian history and food and culture. Her kitchen is well suited to small groups. The moqueca recipe was delicious. Well worth an evening in Rio to experience Carioca hospitality.”
Rocinha favela tour with a local guide, moto taxi ride, capoeira, and panoramic viewpoints, with strict photo rules.
“It was such a great experience to look into the history and culture of the Rachinho Favela. Victor was a great guide and I loved how he disclosed some of his times growing up on the favela and where he is now. 10/10, would recommend to anyone solo traveling or traveling with others.”
Hands-on Rio class in an Ipanema kitchen. Mix 4 Brazilian cocktails and cook 4 appetizers, with recipes and tastings included.
“Eccellente lezione con la chef Carol, dove abbiamo imparato e approfondito su alcune bevande brasiliane e alcuni antipasti molto pratici che possono essere utilizzati in qualsiasi festa. Molto divertente, un'istruttrice molto amichevole e un ambiente cordiale e brioso.”
Every kind of day this city offers, and the best of each.
