About this activity

Enjoy a 5-hour guided tour enjoying the true passions of a Brazilian: Samba, Soccer and Caipirinha drink.

To prepare for the tour, we give you a free caipirinha. Then, we take you to see the favorites places of a native carioca. We visit the Maracanã Stadium, the Sambadrome, and the Saara District for some shopping.
