100% recommend this pub crawl, Cadu and Julia were amazing (and Daniel!) they made sure everyone was enjoying themselves and the samba dancing was amazzzzzzing!
Cadu and Julia were great. Showed everyone a great time while taking care of the group and their safety.
Cadu was amazing, had a great time. Fully recommend!
We did this on a Thursday and it was an incredible experience! Cadu was a great guide and guided a very local experience. My favorite night in Rio
First bar we stayed at was very nice, well designed to meet new people on the tour. Got a small history lesson of the local area and the bars we visited had great local music. The guides were very friendly and welcoming too.
10/10 Cadu was a great advisor, I recomend his services 100% percentage
This was a great experience, we had lots of fun bar hopping, we got the best tour guide too, we felt safe in all the places we visited, definitely recommended.
Catarina and Pablo made exploring Rio’s nightlife so much fun! We visited the steps, had cachaça shots, and learned a little history along the way. We happened to be there during an art festival, with dancing in the streets, food vendors, and packed bars. They took us to places we wouldn’t have explored on our own and kept the vibe fun all night. Highly recommend!
Decent night for folks not familiar with area. It helped us learn different spots and locations to hit up without a tour guide, but still would recommend for your 1st time.
The pub crawl we did at Laps was very an awesome night out. Me and my wife have not had so much for on a night out for a long time. Cadu is an amazing guide, very knowledgeable of the area, very caring and knows everyone! The few shots included was a nice touch. The bar/club on this crawl is the best ones compare to other tours from my research. Highly recommended to experience Rio's night out!
Coda was an excellent host. Very knowledgeable about the areas and of course the best part of the tour was the shots
The overall experience was great and Cador and Pablo (I apologize if I spelled their names incorrectly) made the experience great!
Catarina was the best. She was so fun and translated everything from Portuguese to Spanish and English for everyone in the group. Really enjoyed the tour, great way to see live music, samba dancers. and get a taste of Rio night life
I had such a wonderful time on this tour! I ended up being a little bit late and our guide was so helpful and made sure I made it and joined with the group. My guide’s name was Cadu and he was so energetic and helpful and gave some cool insight into the area and bars we were going to! He also let us try different liquor that is famous in Rio. Overall I would definitely recommend both the tour and our amazing guide Cadu!!
Cadu is a wonderful guide. He is funny, witty and very friendly. One of the things I loved the most is that he is very eager to share little anecdotes, so you can learn about his culture. I love it when learning about a culture and having fun go together.lt was a great and authentic experience in the Lapa, the bohemian heart of Rio
Had the absolute best time pub hopping with Cadu! He kept us safe, brought the fun, and his drink recommendations were top-tier. Highly recommend! 🍹🔥
I did the Pub Crawl tour with Cadu and let me tell you it was amazing. Our group was able to interact thru shots of cachaça and later on samba. I danced so much that night like I haven't in years. Definitely recommend Cadu is you plan on taking this tour.
Great time. Very informative safe enjoy the guide personality made everything fun. This is a must do.
We had a really great night on the pub crawl around Lapa, thank you Cadu for making it possible !
Catarina was such an amazing host! Best experience! Definitely something to do and experience with her and the great group of people! Best way to see the nightlife and fun of Rio!!! Would definitely do it again and again!
Had a great time and Cadu was a great host/guide. I definitely will recommend touring with Cadu again
I had a great night out with Cadu! He was warm, friendly and took care to make sure everyone was safe and having a good time. We were able to experience a variety of night life options and had so much fun!
Unforgettable experience, getting to know the night life and the music of Rio, Lapa, fed over a Samba raiz, pagode, Rio’s funk. Our guide, Cadu was a great leader, telling the story of the bairro, giving us tips and even teaching us how to sambar
I did this tour with Cadu. I would definitely recommend it. He showed us around Lapa and also gave us some pointers on other things to do during our stay. He made sure we had a safe and enjoyable time.
Catarina was amazing! She makes you feel more like a friend rather than a tourist. I would definitely recommend you take the tour if you love a good time and good vibes.
Very nice and pleasant experience. It's a good way to make new friends and have a taste of Rio nightlife. Cadu, our guide, was cool and helpful. I recommend it
We met out guide Cadu at the first bar location. A prior guide told us it is at the end of a pedestrian street so we had no problem to locate it. However, I could imagine other travelers having a bit of difficulty since taxi/uber cars cannot drop pax off directly in front of the bar. Cadu was great fun and kept an eye on the group. He also poured us several tastings of cachaca. We went to the first three venues plus the steps for some photos, and left right before midnight. However, the party was still going strong in the various bars, clubs, and on the streets. This is a fun and lively tour; good value as well since we didn’t have to pay any cover charges. To boot, we always felt safe with Cadu and the group, so for foreigners fearful of getting scammed or robbed at night, this is a good way to sample the nightlife in Rio.
This was such a fun night. Met some amazing people. The bars had such a great atmosphere, very welcoming. The dance bars that we went to later on that night we're so energetic. I want to thank Catarina for being an amazing host.
Excellent tour, we went to 4 places, in Lapa. Shiky bar, 2 samba places and a club were we could stay till morning.
A great experience that allowed us to discover some fantastic places to listen to, sing and (try to) dance samba! Catarina was very friendly and introduced us to several different cachaças throughout the evening—the last one was definitely our favourite! We highly recommend this pub crawl.
Cadu was awesome! Super helpful the whole time, truly talked to us like we were longtime friends. Took us to non-touristy local spots and we had a great experience
Had a great time with the group. Our tour guide Catarina was awesome and made sure we all had a fun time!
Highlight of the Rio trip! Good music, great venues, and Catarina was a fantastic guide. Had a blast and felt completely taken care of.
It was so much fun. Our tour guide Catarina was kind, inclusive and showed us a few great places.
Great night out in Rio! The guide was very friendly and informative. All of the venues were great fun.
one of the best pub crawls I’ve ever done . Gracious host Cadu sure struck a fine balance between culture and fun .
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We had an amazing time on this pub crawl! Our guide, Cadu, was fantastic—friendly, energetic, and made sure everyone had a great time while keeping the group together throughout the evening. We visited several bars and clubs, enjoyed welcome shots, listened to live bands, experienced authentic samba music, and even learned a few samba steps ourselves. One of my favorite parts of the night was visiting the Selarón Steps after dark. They were much less crowded than during the day, which gave us the perfect opportunity to take beautiful photos without the large crowds. It was also a great way to experience a different side of Rio. Seeing the city's nightlife, local music, and vibrant atmosphere added another layer to our trip that we would have missed otherwise. Most importantly, our entire group felt safe from start to finish, which made it easy to relax and enjoy the experience. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rio de Janeiro. If you want to experience the city's incredible nightlife, music, culture, and energy with a knowledgeable guide, this pub crawl is definitely worth adding to your itinerary!
Went to a pub crawl with Julia how showed us some great places in Lapa and introduced us with Rio nightlife.
Not good, little info, few pubs, bad English
We had absolutely the best experience ever on the pub crawl! Huge thanks to Cadu for providing such amazing service from start to finish. Everything was smooth sailing and incredibly well-organized, which made the whole night completely stress-free and so much fun. If you're looking for an unforgettable night out in Rio, you need to go with him! 🇧🇷✨
Julia was great at encouraging the group to chat with each other and make friends. The spots we went to had great live music.
Robeiri was a wonderful host. The pub crawl was both great fun and educational. Our host had so much information on the history, traditions and culture of the area. He was also fantastic fun and very helpful! Highly recommend this tour!
CADU WAS THE ABSOLUTE BEST!! The tour is pretty awesome too, shows you everything that the lapa district has to offer. He was very informative and gave out shots the entire trip, I’d definitely book this tour again!!
Catarina was an awesome guide. She was friendly and kind. I felt safe on tour. It was nice to visit an area where the locals hang out. I enjoyed the tour.
Great time. Caterina is very nice and welcoming. She showed us a great time.
Catarina was an incredible tour guide through all the bars. She explained the shots and I loved every one more than the last. I loved how each bar had live music, and that each felt different. The dancing and vibes were immaculate the entire night.
The bar crawl was lit. Cadu and the young lady (so sorry can’t remember her name) were great host, kept the energy live and also was very informative! Cadu has shared the same birthday as me (June 24th) so that made the experience even better lol Thank you so much for accommodating us and showing us a great time! Book it people you won’t regret it.
Cadu was an excellent guide, knowledgeable and made us feel very comfortable and safe. I want to do it again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an amazing night! The Rio Pub Crawl in Lapa was one of the highlights of my trip. It was the perfect way to experience Rio’s nightlife, meet people from all over the world, enjoy great music, and explore some fantastic local spots. A special thank you to Cadu for being such a hospitable, friendly, and welcoming host. He made everyone feel comfortable from the moment we arrived and kept the energy high throughout the entire evening. His knowledge of the area and genuine enthusiasm made the experience even more enjoyable. And since it’s your birthday—Happy Birthday, Cadu! Thank you for making the night so much fun and creating such a great atmosphere for everyone. One small tip for future guests: ladies, don’t wear heels! There is quite a bit of walking, and comfortable shoes will help you enjoy the night much more. I highly recommend this pub crawl to anyone visiting Rio and looking for a fun, safe, and authentic nightlife experience. Thanks again, Cadu, for an unforgettable evening!
