“This was great fun. Ranaa the teacher was great and very patient. Even got to wear some costumes from Carnaval. The place was easy to find and it was a very enjoyable hour although my technique needs a lot more work. Highly recommended as part of your Rio trip.”

“Excellent tour by lovely people. Would highly recommend, made it fun, interesting and safe!”

“It was very great of and informative. Loved the costumes”

“It is a bus with only one level- up top with no shade at all. It was hot! Since there weren’t ear plugs, it was just a recording over speaker- you couldn’t really hear what they were saying. I thought we’d get closer to Christ the Redeemer but it was just in the distance. At least they sold cold beer on board….”

“Love it! Thiago was a great guide. Super knowledgeable”

“fantastic show with a lot of costumes and different dances. highly recommended”

“I would see this how again and again! I loved everything from start to end. The performers were so energetic and beautiful inside and out encouraging crowd participation and fun”

“This tour was one of the highlights of my trip! Lena was the perfect guide!”

“Very fun, we actually learned about samba, the context behind the dance and some dance moves. They were extremely flexible as I had a group of 13 friends to go together that kept changing dates. They have also recommended the best days to do the activity and managed to accommodate us however necessary. I recommend it!”

“Super fun thing to do to introduce yourself into brasilllll”

“Der Bus eignet sich gut, wenn man sitzen bleibt. Wenn man ihn zum Hop on and off verwendet, ist er mäßig geeignet, denn abgesehen vom ersten Start, kommt er nicht zu den angegebenen Zeiten, was zu großen Wartezeiten führt. Einmal habe ich nach 40 Minuten Warten einen Uber zu meinem nächsten Ziel genommen, was mich vor noch größere Herausforderungen gestellt hat. Denn mangels gekennzeichneten Bushaltestellen hat man trotz winzigen Haltestellen-Plans keine Chance, die Haltestelle zu finden, wenn man dort nicht selbst ausgestiegen ist. Und da der Bus kommt, wann er will, kann man auch nicht prüfen, ob man an der richtigen Stelle steht. Das angekündigte Musikprogramm hat überhaupt nicht stattgef...”

“This was so awesome we would definitely do it ago. A hour is not nearly long enough for all the fun we had. Marcos was an excellant instructor!”

“It is the most unique tour of any kind I’ve had. Three hours walking the neighborhoods of Ipanema with a strolling professional guitarist playing and singing songs of all era’s in Brazil rich history of the boss nova and samba while also explaining the history of the development of the music along with the country. Not to be missed whether or not you are a music lover.”

“Learned more about the history of bossa nova from our knowledgeable guide Guilherme. Very personable guy to be with! Enjoyed it!”

“Great people, Great music and drinks. We learned a lot about Rio's history, met wonderful people and had lots of fun. Also have the options for some food and stay longer.”
