The show is Excellent, but, I went to grandstand 9, numbered, much more expensive it is extremely uncomfortable, neither attendees found our place, you are placed overcrowded you can not move, you sit on the hot cement, with the knee of the back on your back and the back of the front on your knee , if it rains gathers water in the cement, you can not sit, in short they do not care about the comfort of the public, in that aspect they are a DASASTRE with capital , unpleasant, it is hell to attend this beautiful show this way. I have also attended the Frisas, also overcrowded, without seeing anything because you stand behind another person who, being taller, you see nothing. I'll insist: THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE PUBLIC!!! When there is a phrase that says “Here the king is you” lol, the king is the money for them!!!
Gracias por tu comentario. Entendemos tu frustración con la experiencia en el Sambódromo, pero nuestro tour fue en la Ciudad del Samba. Parece haber una confusión, ya que son experiencias diferentes. ¡Saludos!
Highly recommended! Our guide Rosa explained the history of Carnaval to us super great. With her you can feel the samba, the carnaval - she is Rio. The fact that we were allowed to put on the Carnaval clothes and original Samba dancers came was party.
The tour backstage provides very interesting insights into the elaborate creation and production of the wagons and costumes by the offering Samba school. The guided tour takes place in English and takes about 1-2 hours. It includes a walking tour, a video with explanations in German, a costume, a short samba dance performance with opportunity for a photo shoot and a caipirinha and optionally the purchase of carnival items.
It was amazing! We had the whole tour in English, which facilitated understanding for my Norwegian family. It was a unique experience, we will never forget.
What a special experience!! We did the private carnaval experience with pickup. Eneida picked us up at our hotel on time and had such a great energy as our guide for the entire tour. I was worried at first about doing this event after Carnaval was over since there'd be no rehearsals going on, but it ended up being extra special that way. We were able to take photos/videos since there was no longer secrecy around the floats and costumes, and my daughters had a fabulous time learning about the floats, trying on costumes, dancing, and learning about how all the costumes go from prototype to creation. This was an unforgettable experience and made so memorable by Eneida and her team. Highly recommend!!
This was undoubtedly the highlight of our Rio visit. Our tour guide was Eneida and she and her team made this experience unforgettable for our family (including 2 girls ages 8 and 11). They give you a true backstage experience with so much energy and liveliness. We would highly recommend this as a "must do" in Brazil if you want a taste of carnival.
This is such a cool way to experience Carnival up close and personalized! It was amazing seeing the floats and costumes. This was the perfect amount of insight into Carnival's history and what it all takes. The guides were a lot of fun too! Definitely think this is a must when visiting Rio to experience a bit of Carnival for yourself!
Book it NOW!!! This was hands down the best thing I did while in Brazil. The ultimate way to dive into the Brazilian culture of Carnival. Hard to describe just how good this experience was.
