Interesting behind-the-scenes tour of the Brazilian carnival - recommended especially in the case of poor betting - The tour backstage provides very interesting insights into the elaborate creation and production of the wagons and costumes by the offering Samba school. The guided tour takes place in English and takes about 1-2 hours. It includes a walking tour, a video with explanations in German, a costume, a short samba dance performance with opportunity for a photo shoot and a caipirinha and optionally the purchase of carnival items.

Um tour incrivel - It was amazing! We had the whole tour in English, which facilitated understanding for my Norwegian family. It was a unique experience, we will never forget.

Fabulous Family Experience!! - What a special experience!! We did the private carnaval experience with pickup. Eneida picked us up at our hotel on time and had such a great energy as our guide for the entire tour. I was worried at first about doing this event after Carnaval was over since there'd be no rehearsals going on, but it ended up being extra special that way. We were able to take photos/videos since there was no longer secrecy around the floats and costumes, and my daughters had a fabulous time learning about the floats, trying on costumes, dancing, and learning about how all the costumes go from prototype to creation. This was an unforgettable experience and made so memorable by Eneida and her team. Highly recommend!!

Highlight of our Rio Visit - This was undoubtedly the highlight of our Rio visit. Our tour guide was Eneida and she and her team made this experience unforgettable for our family (including 2 girls ages 8 and 11). They give you a true backstage experience with so much energy and liveliness. We would highly recommend this as a "must do" in Brazil if you want a taste of carnival.

Once-in-a-life experience! - This is such a cool way to experience Carnival up close and personalized! It was amazing seeing the floats and costumes. This was the perfect amount of insight into Carnival's history and what it all takes. The guides were a lot of fun too! Definitely think this is a must when visiting Rio to experience a bit of Carnival for yourself!
