feel the rhythm of Rio
Why riosambaxp?
The goal was never tourism. See Rio from the perspective of those who actually build the greatest show on earth.
Small Groups. Better Stories
No matching hats. Just a small bunch of trippers operating on Rio beach time.
Come Solo. It will be fine
Most people do. Friendships in Rio usually start right after someone says, “Anyone up for a mate at the beach?”
Dance with a samba School
Yes, you can! Most people don't know it, but you can do more than just watch the Rio Carnival: you can be part of it. We provide your official samba school costume and take care of everything, from choosing your costume and hotel pickup to makeup, dressing up, parading, and getting you back safely.

¡Una experiencia inolvidable! Estoy muy contenta de haber elegido a Matheus para disfrutar de esta actividad. Todo lo prometido fue cumplido: desde el transporte, el traje para desfilar y el maquillaje, hasta el propio desfile. Además, todo estuvo muy bien organizado y cuidado en cada detalle, incluso con sorpresas que superaron las expectativas. Recomiendo esta experiencia única que realmente no defrauda.

This was the highlight of my Rio trip!!! I’m from the United States, and I always dreamed of attending Carnaval in the grand stands to watch the professional samba dancers compete. I never imagined I could walk in the Sambadrome in the world’s greatest Carnaval. We just finished walking in the parade this morning. This activity is not to be missed!! Matheus is AMAZING and very professional. He is responsive and goes above and beyond to make your experience one to remember. I still can’t believe that as a first time visitor I came to Rio, and was able to be part of the real action. We are already planning to attend next year. Special thanks to his whole team!!! They work to transform you in real time right before the event. I would only advise as a tourist to understand the hard work they put into preparing for the event. It was a privilege to be able to walk behind Samba queens. I could go on and on, but you have to see for yourself. Thanks so much for this experience!Forever grateful!

Don't take our word for it.
A fantastic unique experience which we both thoroughly enjoyed. Matheus was extremely responsive and attentive during the booking process, offering alternatives, and on the night. Highly recommended.
