Excellent show!

Our group of 13 was very happy with the show. The hotel was out of the pick up zone but Rio Carioca helped with pick up ad drop off on specail request and payment. The only issue was we thought we paid for dinner and it seems we had not.

The samba show is hosted...

The samba show is hosted at a shopping mall in a small movie type theater. While the quality of the performers was great, the setting was not as expected.

false advertising

I booked this show thinking it was a different show to the Ginga Show I had already seen. Nowhere in the description was the name of the show mentioned. I think this was a rip off! Very unhappy

Rubbish

This company was an absolute shambles. They gave me pick up times of different times three different times and then two hours before the show they canceled it so was unable to book it with another tour operator.

Samba experience

Very professional artists and very entertaining, but 250 Dollar looks little bit overpriced. Service of Alex from elife travel was excellent.

I would do it again!

The food was absolutely delicious and the Samba show was very entertaining. We were fortunate to have a Portuguese speaking native in our small group of 4, who explained the different dances and the history behind them. If I was to change anything, I would provide a program outlining the show and the history of Samba.

Operator response

Hello! We're so happy to hear that you enjoyed the food and the show! We also appreciate your suggestion to provide a program with more details and we will certainly consider this possibility. Thank you very much for your feedback we hope to welcome you again soon!

Show.

Great food and tour guide Joana Gouveia was amazing. Learned a ton about Brazil culture. Highly recommend any tour she is leading. As for the show. It was not as good as I expected but entertaining nonetheless.

Operator response
