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 at a shopping mall in a small movie type theater. While the quality of the performers was great, the setting was not as expected.
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
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.
Love the steak house, the food was delicious & the show was entertaining. I was expecting everything in one location but non the less it was nice.

Very professional artists and very entertaining, but 250 Dollar looks little bit overpriced. Service of Alex from elife travel was excellent.
Hello! We're glad you enjoyed the presentation! The Samba Show is one of the most entertaining attractions here in Rio. Thank you very much for your comment and for choosing us for your experience. See you next time!
The dinner was not at show the food was good and our driver Greg was good the show itself was very poor and not enjoyable I feel I wasted my money
Thank you for your comments. We are happy to hear that you enjoyed the food and appreciated Greg's driving, who is one of our best drivers. However, we are sorry to hear that the show did not meet your expectations. We look forward to welcoming you back to Rio for more and better experiences. Until next time!
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.
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!
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.
Thank you for your comments! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the dinner and had a fantastic experience with our guide. She really brings Brazilian culture to life. Thank you for your recommendation and we hope to see you on another tour soon! Best regards, Rio Carioca Tours & Services
