Rio de Janeiro · PUB CRAWLS
This is the shortlist you would send a friend: 3 bar crawls worth the money, each with its price, its traveller verdict and the one thing to know before you commit.
Join Caipi Tours in Lapa for four cachaça samples, a free caipirinha, the Arcos da Lapa, Selarón Steps, live samba, and a nightclub finish. Guides such as Andressa, Raffa, Marcos, Nayara, and Rafael keep the group together in English, Spanish, or Portuguese.
“I’ve tried pub crawls in many other cities, honestly this one was the best one I’ve done!!”
Explore Lapa with multilingual guides such as Marx, Victor, Bernardo, and Julia. Visit Escadaria Selarón, local bars, samba and dance venues, and meet people from around the world. Cachaça shots and club entry are included, but drinks beyond the welcome shots cost extra.
“A must do if its your first time in Rio and trying to know how the nightlife goes.”
Start at 8:30 pm in Lapa, meet guides such as Marx, Victor, Julia, or Bernardo, then visit samba bars, a rooftop stop, and a Latin club. You’ll get cachaça shots and guided entry, but you pay separately for most drinks. Expect walking, dancing, and a group of up to 50 people.
“I was expected to be late. According to the schedule, a tour group moves to the second location after one hour at the first location. So I needed personal communication via WhatsApp in case I miss the guide. But no one contacted me after I booked. I only have experience with tours that contacted me with WhatsApp. I never knew that this kind of tour operators exist. I feel that many of these tour businesses are so spoiled. Maybe there is a sufficient number of tourist that they earn money easily from. Someday they will miss today’s business.”
Pick a summit, a hillside, a beach or a bar.
