Fun experience
Orlaith_B, Aug 2025
A fun day learning about Carnaval. We saw the warehouse, heard about the samba school and their winning year, tried on costumes, learned a little samba and just had a fun time understanding the history and fun (and competition) of this Rio Institution. Highly recommend.
Carnaval…behind the scene.
Clotilde_K, Mar 2025
You learn behind the scene facts of Carnaval and how it happens. Interesting to know, it’s only a 70 minute experience for each float.
Lively and informative .
John_J, Jan 2024
Learning the history and the process that goes into the carnival is very interesting. The activities are fun and engaging. .
