Overview

This full-day itinerary includes private tours of Maracanã stadium and the Sambadrome parade venue, so visitors to Rio can get an introduction to two Brazilian cultural institutions: football and Carnival. With hotel transport and a personal guide on hand to share information and history, you’ll gain a better understanding of the Cariocas (Rio’s residents) than going alone. You’ll even have a chance to order the national dish and drink (own expense).

  • See where Carnival happens at the Sambodrome, followed by a tour at Samba City

The best tour we had!
Lilia_K, May 2023
That was the best tour and experience we had in Rio! It’s absolutely highly recommended! Finally, we had carnival explained - characters, process, allegories, history. The tour around samba city was mind blowing. And costumes experience is so much fun. We enjoyed this tour even being extremely tired after the busy week.
Dieser Ausflug ist absolut empfehlenswert

Unser Guide hat zu Beginn der Tour unsere Wünsche abgefragt und danach den Ablauf zusammengestellt. Es war ein sehr erlebnisreicher Tag mit vielen Informationen und Eindrücken. Wir hatten eine Führung im Fussballstadion, in der Samba City und ein traditionelles brasilianisches Essen. Danke Jalbeir für den tollen Tag
