Product Description
Rio for Partiers is a travel guide to Rio de Janeiro (Brazil) designed for red blooded tourists.
It outlines, in a step-by-step manner, all the must-see tours of Rio: relaxing tours (exactly where to go to unwind), adventure sports (who to contact for instructions), cultural (the essential tours) and rainy day ideas (what to do in Rio when it's raining).
It also goes into detail on what every tourist must try: from snacks to tropical fruit juices, to Brazilian cuisine to local drinks. Thirdly, it lays out the nightlife scene, giving each day of the week the best option for: clubbing, live music, street parties or bars.
Lastly, it offers dozens of tips on topics like safety, prices and how to deal with Brazilian boys and girls. But what makes Rio for Partiers even more desirable is that it can save the tourist lots of money: the publishers have partnered with sports instructors, bars and restaurants to get them to offer a discount or bonus to bearers of our book: just show the cupons in the back and you are automatically entitled to free drinks, discounts to daily rates and VIP entrance (no waiting in line) at the best bars and clubs. In short, Rio for Partiers tells you everything you need to know to have a blast in Rio.

Rio for Partiers - AWESOME BOOK November 27, 2008
Hi,
i have purchased this book off their website for my trip to rio for backpacking and carnivale -
its is SOOOO GOOD!!!! would highly recommend buying it. Cris also keeps you up to date via email with the latest parties around rio and organising tours etc, its just plain brilliant and so is the customer service.
I live in australia and via the website it took 1.5 weeks to arrive via the snail mail post - so dont order it last minute, or order express. I ordered it well in advance so it wasnt an issue.
the Lonely planet guides are awesome, but this book is a whole other level of Rio and the Rio life.
BUY THIS BOOK ITS SOOOOO GOOD!!

 Best Rio guide September 30, 2008
I bought this and The Hedonist: World Travel Guide to help guide me in planning a multi-city vacation. Both great books. For Rio this is the most extensive book written for young single guys. Clubs, discos, girly places, tourist stuff. It also has some basic Portuguese advice, and some great pictures. The other book covers 20 countries, and turned out to be spot on accurate as well. Man I miss Rio.

This book isn't written like all the other boring guides. It's hip, it's cool, it's gritty, and by the time you're done reading it you feel like you just made a new friend in Rio. The author does a brilliant job of breaking the 3rd wall and really brings you to his marvelous city.

I went to Rio last year with a friend. She brought two travel guides, and I brought two travel guides. We quickly ditched all the other travel guides, but carried Rio for Partiers around every day we were in Rio.
This book tells you about things only locals know and other travel guides don't teach you. It explains (with pictures) food you will find on the beach and in the street cafes, complete with an estimated cost. The book also explains hand signals commonly used in Rio (very helpful), includes popular phrases, a map, tells you what to pack, what to wear, where to eat, were to go on day trips, and so much more.
The friends we stayed with (Americans) had been living in Rio for several months and said the advice was dead on. They also learned a thing or two from the book. You don't have to be young, or a partier to love this book. If you're going to Rio, you need this book!

I used this book throughout my vacaction in Rio it was great. It gives you a breakdown by day of which clubs are good and type. It was like having your own tour guide. I showed it to a few locals whom didn't even know items that were in the book.
