Here are the 11 shows we would actually book, with the price, the running time and who each one suits. The first is first for a reason.
Rio’s Ginga Tropical brings Carnival energy, samba lessons, live music, and Brazilian folk dances to an entertaining 80-minute show.

Ginga Tropical in Rio blends samba, folklore, capoeira, live music, costumes, and audience participation in a lively 90-minute show.
“I expected a good dance performance instead it was nothing but acrobat theatrics that was so boring that we left after the first 15 min of this show. Was a waste of my money”

“The perfect ending of my two weeks vacation in Rio. This show is a must see when you visit Ruo. High energy from start to finish. The tour guide was very accommodating and looked out for me and the van ride was very comfortable.”
Experience Salvador after dark with Bahian dinner, music, Capoeira, Maculelê, and a small-group cultural show with hotel pickup.
“El lugar del espectáculo incómodo sin respaldar muy junto la gente y mucho calor. El show bueno y la cena buena con buena atención.”
Rio’s samba show pairs a two-hour cultural performance with hotel transfers, plus an optional Brazilian steakhouse dinner.
“The pick up as easy to arrange, but traffic was problematic - but it did not interfere with the show. The venue was a nice intro to Samba, but it was on the loud side. The performers were talented and show quite enjoyable. We were seated center stage, a few rows back, and the volume was good - i would not have wanted to sit closer (it's a small venue so almost all tables have great sight lines), the opening act was a talented couple and the samba show itself was nice to experience.

Review of Salvador by Night, with Afro-Brazilian dance, capoeira, Samba de Roda, Bahian dinner, guide, price, and practical tips.
“The show was incredible, so engaging and exciting to watch by a group of amazingly talented people! The dinner after was at a separate restaurant and was not a buffet, it was a choice from a set menu. Quite limited options, but the food and service were very good. The guide was great and very friendly, but more of a host than a guide. I'm not sure how necessary it was to have a guide, though it did ensure everything ran smoothly.”

Inconfortable. Voys vous moquez de qui ? +”
