- An Authentic Carioca Night Out: Skip the heavily commercialized tourist zones of Copacabana. We take you straight into Lapa—the pulsing capital of Rio's nightlife—to eat, drink, and hang out exactly where locals do after dark.
- The Ultimate Evening Fuel: This isn't just a snack tour; it's a moving feast. With 6 heavy-hitting local snacks like rich pães de queijo, savory coxinha, crispy codfish cakes, and grilled garlic bread, it completely replaces dinner.
- Iconic Drinks Included: Taste the true liquid soul of Brazil! From refreshing lime-infused street mate to authentic cachaça, numbing Jambu shots, and a massive 500ml street Caipirinha by the world-famous Selarón Steps.
- Safe, Expert Group Navigation: Navigating downtown Rio at night can feel intimidating for solo travelers or first-timers. Our expert English-speaking local guide ensures a fun, completely safe, and seamless walking experience from the central metro station to the Arcos da Lapa.

What To Expect
Meet your guide at the historic Carioca Station as the city transitions into night. We kick off at a local favorite for a warm cup of gooey Pão de Queijo (12 pieces to share) paired with a traditional, refreshing ice-cold Mate with Lemonade (300ml)—the quintessential Rio street refreshment.
Step back in time at a historic, century-old local tavern. Here, you'll toast the night with an authentic shot of artisanal Cachaça and a tongue-numbing shot of Amazonian Jambu to share. To balance the drinks, you'll dig into two traditional chicken Empadinhas (savory, flaky oven pies).

5.00We did this tour yesterday with Felipe, and we highly recommend! He was an incredible tour guide and showed us sides of Rio we wouldn’t have been able to experience with our limited knowledge of the city. We can’t wait to explore the city with the better understanding of the cuisine and bar scene as we know now. Thanks Felipe for the amazing time!

5.00Amazing Rio night food tour in Lapa that showed us a completely different side of the city. Our guide Giovanna was friendly, enthusiastic, and very knowledgeable, making the experience fun and engaging. We discovered local spots, flavors, and hidden gems we would never have found ourselves. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience another side of Rio.
