Awesome Night in Rio - Leandro is a great guy and gave us a fantastic tour. We wanted to see different aspects of nightlife in Rio and he took us to Barodromo, Little Africa and Rioscenarium which were all brilliant venues. Great music and great atmospere. Leandro is also a very knowledge guide and we learnt many things on our tour. This is the best nightlife tour we have done and Leandro is the best tour guide we have had. Absolutely awesome.

Wonderful experience. Emily was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. They shortened the experience at our request. - Great time out “on the town” in Rio. We visited three venues, all of which were enjoyable. We had some snacks at a bar in Lara neighborhood.

Crazy night! Must go! - Recommend highly! The first samba bar event was truly a unique and extremely exciting experience. Mingled with the locals which is every travellers dream. Anderson was extremely funny and energetic which is important on a night out. Plus he customised the tour asking me what i liked which was great. Even if you are not into alcohol I highly recommend!

Amazing experience! - Amazing overview of Rio nightlife! The tour guide Andersen was phenomenal. He first took us to multiple places so that we could get a flavor for the different possible experiences - then let us choose where we wanted to spend more time. I only had two nights in Rio and wanted to make the most of it. So grateful this tour was available - I experienced so much!!

OK but didn’t follow the itinerary/overpriced - We’re 4 older adults but wanted to see a little night life so I booked this tour. We’d had a tour earlier in the day so asked for a 7PM pickup (it was scheduled as 5-hour night tour). When we were picked up at our hotel in a very nice van with a driver (which was very nice and comfortable), our guide started off by saying he didn’t know where to take us because it was too early and nothing was “happening.” He (or the company) could have said something prior to picking us up about it being too early, but it was never mentioned. We weren’t looking for a huge club scene, but he didn’t really ask about that. We told him we’d like to listen to some music and some dancing and that we’d probably be done earlier than most tours (not the full 5 hours). We drove a bit and went to an outdoor bar where there was music next door that had just ended and had a drink (3 beers and 1 wine cooler and 1 beer for him). This place was not on the list, but we were ok with it. No entrance fee. The guide didn’t offer to buy our drinks, but did buy us nuts from a vendor working the street (2 very small bags for the 4 of us). After a bit we left and went to Rio Scenarium where they have live Samba music and dancing and a cool place. Once you get in, you get a number and use this for charging your drinks/food and the entrance fee. He walked us around (several floors and like a museum inside, really cool) and warmed up to our group. We took a few photos, enjoyed the music, danced a little, and had a couple of drinks. Overall the tour was fine, but it wasn’t what was listed and he literally paid for what I would call a single serving of peanuts from a street vendor. I did email the company and Viator and got 30% refund which I appreciated. Again, we weren’t looking for a huge club scene, but it didn’t feel like he made much of an effort. The driver and van were great and I liked the personal size, but don’t feel like we got what we paid for (which was paid in advance).

Great for smokers, but not us. - Loved that live music was on 7 nights per week as well as Sunday mornings. Unfortunately, all but about two tables were designated as smoking areas, and those two tables were not far enough away to avoid breathing 2nd hand smoke.
