Fun, authentic, safe and memorable! - Such a fun night and one I’m so happy I experienced as it gives a true, authentic reflection of Brazil! The home of samba and what better way to feel it than be right amongst it! Vitoria was an amazing guide - she was so much fun and gave us some interesting insights into the history of the area. I was a solo traveler and felt totally safe at all times :) I couldn’t recommend this more!

Great Experience - The guide Yan was awesome! Yan provided a nice review of the history and favelas before taking us to the main square and area with the food and music. There were a few opportunities for pictures as well. The street food was nice and well priced. The drinks were great! Recommend wearing shoes you don't mind getting dirty because there are puddles and holes between the cobblestone.

Unforgettable experience in Rio! - A great night out in Rio! Lena was a brilliant host, we learned so much about the history of Samba and the area of Pedro do Sal! The samba band were fantastic and Lena translated for us the words and the meaning of the songs. Unforgettable experience, I would highly recommend!

Poor value for money. - Two young inexperienced girls running the trip, one of whom had very poor English skills. Quite frankly, save yourself the money and get an Uber to this venue, look up a few details about the origins of the Samba on the net, purchase a cheap drink from one of the many stalls serving cheap cocktails and listen to the free music. That is all this trip offered
