Description
There is no better way to get inside Rio's Samba Culture than this. Although the famous Carnival Parade happens once a year, the ongoing work on the backstage happens every day. You will go to the Cidade do Samba and visit the Academicos da Grande Rio warehouse and contemplate their costumes, allegories and curiosities. A guide will lead you through a tour wherever the Carnival Spirit will get inside of you. Learn about the history of Samba and Carnival Parade. And after seeing so many carnival costumes, why not try them on? Feel like a local, get your camera and share this moment with your best shots. In the end, make a toast with the traditional Caipirinha to celebrate the Samba Spirit!
And of course, don’t be shy and try a few steps and shake your hips in this contagious and popular dance.

Delivered everything it promised and then some. We went back to Brazilian on our own the next day. It costs more than going alone, but it saves you all the planning.

Es de esas cosas que uno recuerda años después. El punto de encuentro estaba bien indicado y fácil de ubicar. Se notaba que el guía es de la zona, contaba cosas de primera mano. Nunca hubiéramos llegado a Rio de Janeiro por nuestra cuenta.

Ótimo atendimento
Uma das melhores coisas que fizemos em Rio de Janeiro. Muito bom o detalhe do visita guiada ao Galpão da Acadêmicos da Grande Rio. Cinco estrelas mais que merecidas.

Would repeat in a heartbeat
We picked it from the photos and it was even better in person. The guided Visit to Grande Rio's Warehouse is worth it on its own. Our guide was the highlight: incredibly knowledgeable and happy to answer anything. At rush hour the traffic stretches the route out quite a bit. Highly recommended.
