While the core content of the tour aligned with what we were hoping to experience - namely, the history of Carnaval, the preparation process, its cultural and economic impact, and the broader tradition- the overall execution felt extremely disjointed. The meeting point was very difficult to locate and did not match the directions provided in Viator. There was no clear signage or explicit confirmation that we were in the right place. We ultimately found ourselves following a French-speaking group and later joined a much larger group of English-speaking tourists, assuming, without any guidance, that this was the correct tour. This should have been clearly explained by the guide from the outset. Additionally, the group size was far too large for this type of experience. With so many participants, there was little to no opportunity for the full group to take photos, ask questions, or engage meaningfully with the guide. This tour would run far more smoothly and deliver significantly more value if capped at no more than 10 participants at a time; at the current scale, it felt chaotic rather than immersive. I'm disappointed since there are so many rave reviews, which is what prompted us to book this tour in particular.

This was top tier!! I was disappointed that I couldn't take pictures in the beginning but no big deal. I understand the reason. While the ladies were putting decorations on a piece I asked to help and they let me. That was cool. Learning all the information was very interesting. The costume activity was fun!! The dancing was super fun. So glad I arranged this for my group. Highly recommended.

Fun experience learning about carnival and samba. Dressing up in carnival costume and having a go at dancing samba were highlights. Ton our guide was informative, passionate and suitably artistic.

A very interesting guided tour, offered in French and English, in the heart of the workshop of a samba school. We discover behind the scenes of the preparation of the carnival and its fascinating history. It is also possible to try on a costume to fully immerse yourself in the festive Mood. An experience not to be missed.

I had an amazing experience at Carnaval Experience! It was very cool to experience authentically how one of the largest shows in the world is produced, directly in the barracks of the samba school Grande Rio. I loved to know that the activity supports a social cause, which makes the experience even more special. It was also fun and interesting to try the fantasy, to have a notion of the weight and complexity of the clothes. Learning about the rules and methods of the rating of the show was fascinating — you can see the care, dedication and discipline behind every detail of the show. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to know Carnival in a unique, educational and fun way!

The tour of the tank factory is rather sketchy and the history of the Carnival is unfortunately only in English or Portuguese or Spanish (not easy if you do not speak these languages perfectly). But the costume party in carnival costumes and small samba class is very nice and leaves beautiful memories!
