Review of: Skip the Line: Lapa Pub Crawl and Caipirinha Making Class

So this started out a bit uncoordinated and I thought it would be a waste. Gave it a chance tho and I had really good time. Good way to meet other travelers. Definitely recommend this

What is the recommended tip for the 3-hour free walking tours? I am thinking of doing 2 tours on a Monday the downtown one and the docks area one, is there somewhere near to where the tour ends, that i can spend a couple of hours till the next tour that is good value? Is the tour going to start and finish in the same place? Thanks

Between 10-20 dollars depending on how well you think your guide did. Your guide will tell you where to hang out. Tours usually start & finish in different places.
