Great food, bad show, not show pictures represented.

Anita_K, Jan 2024

The food was very good. The show was very poor and not memorable. I was expecting more of a Las Vegas type show based off picture. Another offering not chosen because it showed pictures of Gringa performing, was not interested. Definitely not worth the cost, misrepresented. The description for pick up indicated you could pay extra to be picked up outside the service area which is untrue as well.

Response from Host, Feb 2024

Hello, We're sorry your experience wasn't as good as it could have been. The photos were taken from the presentations, but we're sorry your expectations weren't met. Thank you for your review and for choosing Rio Carioca Tours.

That was fun and...

Anna_S, Mar 2023

That was fun and interesting cultural experience! Colorful and amazing people, dances and music! The only thing we didn’t like much was food, but the show covered it all

The food was poor quality...

Colyn_D, Feb 2023

The food was poor quality and only given an hour. No one informed us of extra charge for drinks and dessert. The restaurant was old and dirty and unappetizing. They hardly came around with good. The meat was low quality. I felt ripped off.

Poor communication with clients regarding pick up time and at the restaurant.

Barnabas_C, Jan 2023

Poor communication with the operator. Pick up time was notified after being chased by the client. The operator was running 23 minutes late with no WhatsApp message or call. We were late for our dinner and only had less than an hour to finish our dinner. At the restaurant we ordered 10 Coke Zero drinks but was given regular coke. We did not realised it until we drink it as we can’t read what on the can. We were offered two free cans of Coke Zero and ten bottles of water.

Disappointing evening without Samba

Brianna_L, Jan 2022

Disappointing all around. We were informed that the Samba show we were so excited for was cancelled, but we could join for a night of live music at the Rio Scenarium. The “tour” consisted of being picked up in a little car with two other passengers, we were dropped off at a steakhouse for a sub-par dinner and then dropped off at the Scenarium to watch live music for four hours (we left early). The most frustrating part was feeling like we didn’t get our money’s worth - there was no refund for the show being cancelled, and the tour they gave us was not worth the $230 we spent hoping to see a Samba show.

Muy buena celebracion de aniversario!!

Marjorie_C, Jul 2023

Fue una experiencia inolvidable, aunque hubo un pequeño atraso en pasarnos a buscar, la cena estuvo exquisita, una atención inmejorable y disfrutamos de un espectaculo maravilloso de Samba. Lo recomiendo totalmente.
