Samba School Rehearsal Visit

At the indicated time, we'll pick you up at your hotel in Rio de Janeiro and make our way to a samba school in Rio de Janeiro.

Brazilian samba schools start practicing their Carnival dances and performances many months before the event. Composing the songs, creating the costumes and assembling the floats takes time and, of course, rehearsing the complicated choreographies, known all over the world.

Luckily, some schools are open to the public so that visitors can see first-hand their Carnival dance rehearsals, as well as meet the dancers and enjoy the magic of one of the world's biggest events.

We'll attend a rehearsal at a samba school and immerse ourselves in Brazil's most carnivalesque culture. Afterward, we'll join the dancers in a colorful party full of music and fun - enjoy the samba capital like never before!

After four hours of unstoppable rhythm, we'll take you back to your hotel and the tour will conclude.

Pickup

The tour includes pickup from hotels in the south area (Leblon, Ipanema, Botafogo, Flamengo) and the downtown area of Rio de Janeiro. If you're staying in other areas, please let us know in order to determine a new meeting point.

You can also enjoy this service from the cruise port.

The itinerary could be affected during Carnival celebrations. In that case, we'll contact you to inform you of possible changes.
