Total Scm

🚫 Total Scam Experience – Do NOT Book This Show! This was one of the worst and most infuriating travel experiences we’ve ever had. We booked tickets for Tuesday, December 23, rushed across the city, and spent almost $150 on taxis to get there on time… only to find the theater completely closed with no show at all. No staff, no sign, no explanation. Absolutely nothing. The operator provided ZERO communication and refused to answer calls or messages. We were left standing outside like fools, wasting precious vacation time and money because of their irresponsibility and complete lack of respect for paying customers. To make it worse, it took a ridiculous amount of effort to finally get a refund through Viator. No apology. No accountability. Just silence. This experience was stressful, disappointing, and downright unacceptable. This operation feels deceptive, unreliable, and totally unprofessional. Save yourself the frustration, the money, and your vacation time – DO NOT BOOK GINGA TROPICAL. Choose literally any other show. This was a nightmare.

A must-see and experience of the diverse culture of Brazil through dance movements

The Ginga Show in Rio exceeded all expectations! The dancers were incredible—non-stop energy, showcasing the rich culture and traditions of every region of Brazil through mesmerizing dance movements. You could feel the influence of Brazil’s diverse culture in every step. Even though we (a group of 13 people) were tired from a full day, no one felt like falling asleep; the performance was that captivating! It was a truly spectacular show, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Rio. A must-see!

Beautiful energetic show!

The show was fantastic. You see dances from all over Brazil with only the last one being samba. Can take nearly an hour on the bus to get there if you’re the first hotel pickup but still well worth it!

Beautiful!

I loved everything. I felt proud of my people and my culture and wanted to share it with my boys. I guess a little playtime with a soccer ball would be nice. I did not know which statue was that.

Unorganized and over booked

Horrible. Waited for tour guide to get our tickets. He said we had good tickets. It was Overbooked and we had to sit in plastic chairs. Very uncomfortable.. Some had to sit on steps. Would not let us in as we were in line. Made us wait for larger tour group to enter.? Our tour guide left us alone and did not help us get access. Staff was rude.. Show not professional. Everyone was pushing, yelling and upset. Awful. Want a refund. Would not recommend.

Operator response

Dear Client. good afternoon. The Attraction made a mistake and unfortunatey this led to overbooking and several agencies were left outside the attraction, but ours went to the tour with all our group. We provided refund to some clients . Did you ask throught correct procedures? please contact us at resrvations@grayline.com.br so we can check and advise. KInd regards
