Florianopolis Walking Tour - History, Art And Gastronomy

Issac spoke excellent English, had considerable knowledge of Florianopolis and was good fun. Would recommend the tour as a great way to learn about the history of the city and to walk around the old part of the city.

We had an excellent tour given by Isaac, He is very knowledgable, spoke excellent English, and was a fun guide with a couple of little nice 'surprises' along the way. We highly recommend this.

Fine experience, fluent English speaking guide who was very knowledgable about the history, culture and food of Florianopolis and Brazil.

Isaac is a very experienced and engaging guide who brings many elements of the city, island and country to life. History is the main focus but there's also social change, gastronomy, architecture and much more. Isaac will know the answer to almost any question you may have and creates a very welcoming atmosphere. I'd thoroughly recommend the tour to anyone visiting this ilha da magia!

Highly recommend. The guide is a trained historia - extremely knowledgeable and a fantastic storyteller - so the history felt engaging and easy to follow. I really appreciated the social and cultural context, including thoughtful acknowledgment of Indigenous lands. The tour was very clear and well paced, and the small group size made it perfect for asking questions and having discussions. We also got great local tips on where to eat and drink, plus a helpful overview of the public market. An excellent way to understand the city and get oriented.

It’s a really good tour full of fun facts, great explanation with perfect English and lots of friendly fun. Definitely not boring or too long.

It's a great way to see the historical center of Florianopolis and spend a nice couple of hours. Isaac is very knowledgeable and friendly, an A+ tour guide, and father of the year!

Fun and experienced guide highly recommended! One Person of our group had problems either the knee so Isaac find a way to make it happen also for us. Excellent

Excellent tour and fantastic guide (thank you Isaac)!! Very much enjoyed learning about the history and art of the area, the beautiful big trees as well as seeing all the street art! ♥️

Issac gave us a lot of information about the city, the history, the architecture. His English is perfect and we could ask him anything. He is a very enthusiastic young man which made the tour enjoyable. We enjoyed the surprise at the end of the tour. Well worth it.

Incredible tour. We got to see many of Floripa's highlights in a thoughtful way. Issac is clearly an expert and very engaging. He's incredibly knowledgeable about the history of Floripa and passionate about what he does. This tour is an incredible value and a must-do when visiting Floripa.

Issac is very knowledgeable and presents detailed information about the historical downtown area in an engaging way. I'd definitely recommend his tour to anyone interested in learning more about Florianópolis.

Isaac is an excellent guide. He was very informative, knows the history of the region very well and speaks excellent English.

Great tour in the city-centre with a perfectly well english-speaking guide. Visitors get a nice overview of the most important sights and related cultural and historical information.

The personable nature of Issac and his extensive knowledge of local history and culture . This was a really nice personal perspective, and Isaac provided options as well. He also ended up joining us for dinner at a small pub and the food was very Brazilian and just a lot of local culture and color. It was really unexpected. It was such a good time that we plan to do another tour with him.

Fuimos con Lis y estuvo excelente, muy explicativa, clara y concisa, también muy simpática y amorosa. Lo pasamos súper bien. Linda experiencia, lo recomiendo, buena comunicación

Isaac was very kind, educational, and explained each point visited on the walking tour with eloquence. I would recommend it without a doubt! Thank you Isaac!

Free walking tours are always great choices to learn more about the local history and get good tips that are hard to find on social media. In Floripa it was no different. The guide spoke different languages fluently and the tour also included coffee and cachaça tasting.

Isaac was a very illustrative guide and also most professional. Having an advanced command of Spanish helps to better understand the subjectivities of the stories and the information he presents during the tour. He is also very kind and offers added value in his work all the time, one of the best we have seen.

Great experience, Isaac is an amazing person who gives the group a dive into history. Essential information about the city and mt joy and kindness. We love

Highly recommended for understanding the city

It was worth the experience of experiencing the history of the city and its monuments that gain life and new meanings by being told with so much ownership, criticism and lightness. We made a journey with a rhythm that respects the movement of the group, with strategic stops, as well as accessible, interactive, ideal for all ages. We were delighted with the didactic and receptivity of Isaac and Giulia. Super indicate the activity!

Excellent experience, you learn about the history, art, gastronomy, and the guide Isaac gives many tips on where to go, eat, always concerned about everyone, in the end he even gives some little gifts, I recommend it

The experience was amazing, I learned a lot about the culture of Florianópolis, changed my view of the city.

Amazing tour!! With so many interesting spots and history, told with respect and, at the same time, amusement, by the local guise Isaac! It is worth knowing Florianópolis from that point of view - for me, now, Floripa has another name and other colors! I did the tour in Portuguese, but it has in other languages as well. And the highlight of the tour: taste the delicacies that The Best of Floripa offers through its partnerships with local establishments! :)) Can schedule!!

A guided tour of Florianopolis, a city with a relatively small historic center, may seem unnecessary, but for this very reason, it is worth doing! The tour allows one to notice details, discover stories, and better understand the city of today and its history. Isaac, the guide, has created an excellent mix of history, culture, music, beliefs, and current events in a balance that can satisfy the most diverse interests. Additionally, it is very interesting: the tour has established collaborations with local restaurateurs and provides the opportunity to sample some (very appreciated!) food along the way. Recommended!

I did the Free Walking Tour in Florianópolis with Isaac and the experience exceeded all expectations. Isaac was extremely punctual, committed and demonstrated a deep knowledge of the city's history. As a historian, he transmits the information with great confidence, contextualizing the events in a clear, interesting and engaging way. Another highlight is his sensitivity and empathy in addressing social issues, enriching the tour with important reflections and a more comprehensive view of the local reality. In addition, he was able to provide tasting and samples at various restaurants along the way, making the experience even more enjoyable and authentic. One difference that surprised me was that, after the tour, I received a link with professional photos taken during the tour, a souvenir of excellent quality that demonstrates the care and dedication with the participants. It was a very well organized tour, informative and welcoming. I recommend closed eyes to anyone who wants to know Florianópolis in a deeper, fun and enriching way. Congratulations on your excellent work! 👏👏👏

Isaac is an excellent guide! Attentive, fun and very well prepared. A blend of history, curiosity and an invitation to reflection on the transformations that make a special place become what it is. Sure, when I have more time in Floripa, I'll do other tours with him.

The Tour is wonderful. The guide Isaac is very well prepared. It was worth it! I recommend.

Super pleasant experience, cold and delicious. We passed the beach of Penha, Balneário Camburiu and Florianópolis. It is beautiful, the beaches super quiet and safe at night, excellent restaurants with great wine options to enjoy the view that was very special for me. We stayed in a hotel on the beach, restaurant nearby, it was raining, and yet it was very worth the experience. High prices, given that the date was of significant tourist movement. It was worth it!

Excellent, light and interactive tour. Brings a completely different view of Florianópolis, always with a historical basis. The photos create a relevant context for the presentation, and the lesson Isaac gives is easy to understand. Mandatory script for those seeking to understand the historical importance of the island of magic.

Excellent activity. Wonderful guide.

Isaac had it all against him on the day of our tour, an imposing heat, several attractions closed for the pre-carnival that we had to see in the distance....and what did he do in two hours? Give us the best historical tour of Florianópolis, interactive (questions and prizes, hehehehe), interesting facts (best bars and nightclubs), shopping and food streets, muuuuuuu much information concentrated on the two hours walk....... chapeau for Isaac, more than recommended, a must-see of Floripa, and deserves more than the 5 points that Tripadvisor delivers (visited with my 11-year-old daughter in February 2026).

I left the ISAAC tour having a lot of information about the history of this region, along with recommendations for places to eat, drink, drink coffee and even dance. Maintaining interest when talking about history is a great credit. If you come, you MUST, take this tour with him.

An excellently beautiful and varied tour. Isaac does very well, can highly recommend in. His knowledge of the English language is excellent.

Very nice walk! Amazing visual, content and security! We are lay people on the pedal but still it was all good. We enjoy it! Worth Edilson and Isaac!

Excellent activity!, absolutely recommended. The guide is lovely, we learned a lot, we really enjoyed the route.

A great way to get to know the historic center of Floripa.The guide Isaac is fun, attentive and knows how to convey his knowledge very well.It was very worth it.It was two hours I didn't even see pass!!!Excellent!

Communication with the guide/organizer super easy. The tour lasts two hours, is a super quiet tour through the historic center of the city. You will learn a lot about the history of the city and the country, you will also get great recommendations for the rest of your stay. Isaac is an experienced , very knowledgeable , professional and accessible person . Speaks several languages , well . It's not like tours q say q speak other languages but in reality neither why.. The area is super safe, and interesting. I recommend doing at the beginning of your stay, pq Isaac can help you with more recommendations / activities during your stay in Floripa. The tour price is affordable, and worth every euro. Thank you Isaac, we love it.

I loved the walking tour through the historic center of Floripa. The guide is a historian, so the explanations are very rich and he knows a lot. He answered all the questions and told many stories. Super recommend!

Isac tells the story of Florianópolis and its relationship with slavery in Brazil in an engaging and knowledgeable way.

Wonderful, super dynamic, current and fun. Indicate for all ages, my daughter of 06 years took great advantage.

Very nice tour for those who love history. To the right extent, without being exhausting. The guide very prepared.

Great walking tour! We learned a lot about the history of Florianópolis. Isaac is an excellent guide and historian, in addition to very friendly and helpful. I recommend!!

I love knowing the story. Knowledge of the Guide 10 of 10 I loved it recommended. If you come to Florianopolis you can not leave without doing this tur

The free walking tour through the historic center was one of the most enriching experiences I had on the trip. What we learned during the tour are stories and curiosities that we would never discover on our own. The guide was amazing: lively, friendly and full of energy, managed to create a wonderful dynamic and connect people from different countries, cultures and languages. More than learning about the city, it was an immense pleasure to meet new people, exchange experiences and broaden my horizons. I highly recommend — don’t miss the opportunity to live something that will stay in your memory!

Punctual, with plenty of content, kind and polite. Um tour 10/10. We walked for 02h00 and the tour was quite focused on the central area! I recommend!

Great tour of the city! Isaac best guide to the top, he speaks super well all languages and is super friendly!

Excellent experience. Magnificent guide, very kind, cheerful, full of energy, experienced and knowledgeable of history and anecdotes. Highly recommended.
