Copacabana Bar Food Tour in Rio with Drinks (opens in a new tab)

This tour has one guide: me. I’m Murillo, born in Rio, and I’ve led every one of these tours since 2018. If only one person books, we still go. Solo travelers make up a big part of my groups, and nobody gets a last-minute cancellation for coming alone. The group never goes above 8, so it feels like going out with friends, not following a tour group. Everything is included: 8 to 14 small plates I pick myself, plus beer, wine and a local cocktail. No bill at the end, no counting drinks. The 4 bars are Copacabana botecos where Cariocas actually go: two long-running classics and two newer places locals love, none of them built for tourists. Open to everyone and LGBTQIA+ friendly
