Lots of local fun and colour
Great show, colourful and dynamic show giving an overview of the different types of music and dance from different areas of Brazil - a great introduction. They get you to stand and learn a bit of local dance for a bit as a warmer. And then an explosion of sound, light, colour and fun. Worth the visit - but get your direct tickets from their web and save money.

Very nice
We were looking for a traditional Brazilian dance show and found this proposal by Milleviagens on the internet. We had a very good time starting from the dinner included in the price at an all-you-can-eat barbecue in a restaurant Our guide explained the various Brazilian dances we would see very well. Definitely recommended

Brazilian folklore for tourists
This evening is certainly suitable for those who like Brazilian music and appreciate folklore shows. One flaw that the city of Rio de Janeiro undoubtedly has is the very limited offer of this type of evening and therefore this is welcome even if it is obviously very touristy. It was included in a travel package that we purchased with Milleviagens and was preceded by a hearty dinner in an all-you-can-eat meat restaurant in the Copacabana area. The transfer that picked us up and brought us back to the hotel was carried out with a guide who spoke Italian. In general, for those who want to know these aspects of Carioca nightlife, it is undoubtedly recommended. Suitable for families as well as groups of friends or couples

Musical trip to Brazil
We booked this show through Viator together with a dinner in an all-you-can-eat meat restaurant (churrascaria). The service is managed by Milleviagens and the details were provided to us by Gianluca who was very prompt in answering our doubts. These are 14 acts lasting approximately 1 hour and a half where all the main Brazilian musical styles are exhibited: from the "frevo", danced by dancers born in the state of Pernambuco, to the samba of Rio de Janeiro, to the typical gauche dances such as the “bombacha” and the “boleadeira”, the “xaxado” with the presence of Maria Bonita and Lampião, the “carimbó” from Pará, the “forró” and the famous “lambada” from the Northeast, the ballet of the “orixas del candomblé ”, the feline movements of the “capoeira” whose dancers are almost circus acrobats, to end with the beautiful “mulatas” of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival. A beautiful experience that allowed us to spend a pleasant evening,
Response from the operator: Grazie Gianni per aver descritto perfettamente questa esperienza. Ci fa piacere siate stati bene e che abbiate trascorso una piacevole serata

Why this scores 46
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Ginga Tropical Show and Samba Class: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rio de Janeiro.
How much does Ginga Tropical Show and Samba Class cost?
+
Prices start at $156 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 Ginga Tropical Show and Samba Class take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Ginga Tropical Show and Samba Class worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 11 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 Ginga Tropical Show and Samba Class?
+
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 Ginga Tropical Show and Samba Class suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Ginga Tropical Show and Samba Class?
+
Around 4 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 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Ginga Tropical Show and Samba Class 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 Pedra da Gávea hike, your best experience in Rio, Rio's Full Day: Selarón Steps, Christ & Sugarloaf – Tickets & Lunch Included, Rio: Tijuca Rainforest Hike, Wildlife, Waterfalls & Caves. 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.
