YOUR EXPERIENCE

This is a private tour with private transportation and a dedicated tour guide. The visits to the samba school and Maracanã Stadium are shared with other visitors.

​

Meet your licensed tour guide and professional driver at your hotel and begin your private experience exploring two of Rio’s greatest passions: samba and football.

​

Your first stop takes you behind the scenes of a Special Group samba school, where you will discover the creativity, tradition and dedication behind Rio’s world-famous Carnival. During this approximately 1.5-hour shared visit, accompanied by a specialized guide in your preferred language, learn how samba schools prepare their spectacular parades, from costumes and music to choreography and the creation of the floats. Along the way, enjoy interactive and immersive moments that offer a deeper understanding of the passion and artistry behind Carnival.

​

Next, continue to the legendary Maracanã Stadium for an immersive behind-the-scenes visit. Accompanied by your guide, explore the stadium’s interior and discover its historic locker rooms, Hall of Fame and collection of iconic football memorabilia and jerseys. Learn about the legendary matches and moments that have made Maracanã one of the most important symbols of Brazilian football. The visit to Maracanã is also conducted as a shared experience, while your transportation and tour guide remain private throughout the tour.

​

After the visits, relax in your private vehicle as you return comfortably to your hotel.
