The fun starts with a panoramic tour of Rio's stunning coastline, with breathtaking views of Sugarloaf mountain and the Christ Statue. As we cruise through the city, you'll also see the historic city center with its centuries-old churches, historic buildings, and plazas.
 

Next, enjoy a history lesson about the dance and the evolution of the festival before witnessing a samba dance show. You'll even have the opportunity to dress up in a costume and take some memorable photos. And what's a celebration without a drink? Sip on a complementary caipirinha as you get in the Carnaval spirit.
 

Finally, we'll drive through the iconic Sambódromo, where the official open stadium hosts the heart of the Carnaval action each year. The tour ends with a drive past the legendary Maracana Stadium, the largest stadium in Brazil.

At the time, samba was not well regarded in society, and those who sang and danced it could even go to jail! Enjoy your ride and get ready to discover the rich history and vibrant culture of Rio de Janeiro.
