The best experience ! a true samba show in Rio
The best dancers and choreographers. You'll experience a true samba show. The space is large and pleasant, the show lasts about an hour, and if you want you can learn to dance with the dancers before the performance – lots of fun! Dinner is served before the show and the food at the restaurant is exceptional. Authentic Brazilian food. Very good meats and cuts, options for vegetarians and very good salads! An authentic “carioca” experience, dont miss it!
Response from the operator: We really appreciate your time to review us. we are glad you had great experience with us . Dont hesitate to contact us next time. thank you very much Sir.

Great steakhouse dinner & authentic Brazilian show!
Vicent was our guide for this experience and he was excellent. Picked us up at our hotel and then drove through Rio giving us lots of great information before taking us to an authentic Brazilian steakhouse for dinner. After dinner we saw a bit more of Rio at night, stopping by the lagoon, before heading to the Fashion Mall. We saw Ginga Tropical which was a great show with a large talented cast. The show took us through Brazil’s ethnic and cultural formation. The musicians and dancers were so talented and we were mesmerized by their presentation and obvious joy and pride. Highly recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you Sir, We are so glad to hear a review like this. its our pleasure to provide you the best experience in Rio.Our customer is our priority and our goal is make the best of the tour and turn into a unique experience. See you next time in Rio

A perfect evening to be highly recommended
We were picked up from our hotel on time and taken to our dinner venue by a driver who gave us very interesting information as he drove us to and from venues. The dinner and the venue were excellent and a good way to prepare for the Samba Show. The Samba Show was a perfect way to complete our visit to Rio de Janeiro as it was our last night. The show was so vibrant, colourful and full of energy and we enjoyed every minute of it. We would not have missed it for the world. The whole evening is very well worth the money, fully met our expectations and we highly recommend it.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Authentic Samba Show in Rio de Janeiro with Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Authentic Samba Show in Rio de Janeiro with Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $267 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rio de Janeiro usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Authentic Samba Show in Rio de Janeiro with Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rio de Janeiro is not rushed.
Is Authentic Samba Show in Rio de Janeiro with Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rio de Janeiro, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Authentic Samba Show in Rio de Janeiro with Dinner?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Authentic Samba Show in Rio de Janeiro with Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 4-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Authentic Samba Show in Rio de Janeiro with Dinner?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rio de Janeiro can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rio de Janeiro and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Authentic Samba Show in Rio de Janeiro with Dinner start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rio de Janeiro within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rio de Janeiro?
+
On Outty we rank every Rio de Janeiro experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves, Explore the Best of Tijuca Forest – Hike to Peaks, Caves & Falls. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rio de Janeiro?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rio de Janeiro?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
