Private Walking Tour in Florianopolis - History, Art and Tastings

About this activity

This private experience is designed just for you and your loved ones. You set the pace, ask questions, and spend extra time on what interests you most - history, architecture, food, or local culture.

We'll meet in front of Café|Bar do Largo da Alfândega and explore the historic center and the stories behind its main monuments, with a stop at StreetMe Coffee for a tasting of local specialty coffee.

We'll talk about the Indigenous peoples who first called the island home, the arrival of Portuguese settlers in the 17th century, and the communities that shaped the "Magic Island." We'll visit Cruz e Sousa Palace and November 15th Square, then discover landmarks of Florianópolis's Black community and their stories.

We'll wrap up at the Public Market, where you'll try caldo de cana (fresh sugarcane juice) and sample cachaça, Brazil's famous spirit. Before we say goodbye, I'll share tips on what to do next - and maybe we'll visit one of the city's best family-friendly spots together!
