Brazil · DRINKING TOURS
Every itinerary has one day too few. These 15 drinking tours are the ones to give it to, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes rather than an evening.
4-hour Lapa pub crawl with cachaça tasting, free caipirinha, live samba, photo stops, and a nightclub DJ set for $33.
“The guide Eric (!) was fabulous. We had so much fun and he took care of everything 🙌🏻🙌🏻 Highly recommend this tour”
Sunset sailboat on Baía de Guanabara from Urca with open bar, caipirinhas, snacks, and time to swim near Rio’s iconic skyline.
“I highly recommend this activity. Everyone was helpful and nice (getting from shore to boat and back). Captain Rodolfo was excellent and Mariana was a wonderful guide. She gave us a lot of history about the port, Rio and Brasil in general. You'll definitely get a different perspective of Rio from the water. Oh, and the caipirinhas were delicious!!”

Curitiba bar-hopping food tour with an English guide, three neighborhood stops, pub snack tastings, and photos. Drinks cost extra.
“O UNICO E O MELHOR passeio feito pela Viator Turismo. Carol Moreno a responsavel e seu esposo pelo passeio extremanente profissional, manteveram contatos constantes com os participantes de forma cortês e profissional. Os bares visitados fantasticos. Os pratos servidos para degustacao foram de primeira qualidade. O receptivo nos butecos visitados foram profisdionaus e acolhedores. Em especial o buteco dos Açougueiros em que a proprietaria Daise veio pessoalmente atender o grupo, uma verdadeira Gentlewomens, extremamente profissional. Recomendarei a todos que vierem a Curitiba em realizar esse passeio se possível por outra operadora.”

Sunset cruise from Marina da Glória in Rio with beer, water, soda, snacks, museum photo stops, and a beach swim for small groups.
“Excellent small group boat ride experience. Wonderful views of the city and Niteroi. Even though the day was cloudy and cold, it was very worth it! Rio Water Fun are very professional. I recommend 100%Auto-translated”
Skip the line at Rio Scenarium in Lapa for live samba and forró, a 3 course dinner, and a 3 hour open bar.
“lovely night overall. The venue is stunning and is very quirky and full of interesting memorabilia. The live music was great but the dance floor was taken over by a group locals who were very good dancers and obviously used the venue for dancing or maybe bought in by the venue, so it didn't leave much room on the dance floor for guests. the service was good but the food mediocre for the cost. The transport provided was excellent and a driver came early to collect us as requested.”
3-hour Vila Madalena and Beco do Batman street-art bar crawl with local guide Leticia. Great photos and local stories. Drinks extra.
“The host Leticia is friendly and was open to us joking her after the tour to explore a samba local bar. She also has a good knowledge about the art and the artists .”
Petrópolis day trip from Rio with imperial sights, Brazil’s first Bohemia brewery tour, 3 beer tastings, and a buffet lunch.
“This was an impromptu outing which turned out to be quite interesting. Rafael, the guide, was really enthusiastic about doing his job; in Portuguese, English and Spanish, nonetheless. He was able to keep it light yet intellectually challenging for the duration of the whole program; which lasted approximately 8 hours. I went on this tour with my wife and sister. My sister and I are Brazilians and my wife is American. Rafael’s quality of service managed to please us all despite our individual cultural and educational differences. I feel the same can be said of the other participants in the group.”
Shared speedboat to Arquipelago das Cagarras with beer, floats, and swim time, plus small-group vibes from Urca in about 3 hours.

Full-day Petropolis tour from Rio with Imperial Museum, key landmarks, and optional Bohemia Brewery beer sampling and lunch.
“Was a great tour with Julio. I was with a group of Spanish & Portuguese speaking guests but he explained everything personally as if I was on a private tour. Petrópolis is a must when you are in Rio.”
