Absolutely delicious! Note: beverages including bottled water are extra.<br/> The samba show was entertaining and fun. Very colorful. Very loud. Included some of the local martial arts. If you haven't been to one, this was good. But they're all very similar.<br/> Definitely enjoyed the evening.</p>

Although it's a tourist-oriented show... - <p>Although it's a tourist-oriented show, we enjoyed. It might be the only show in Rio where you can see a summary of Brazilian music and folklore. The music was mostly on tape but they did have several excellent and entertaining musicians playing a variety of percussion instruments. The costumes were very elaborated and colorful. We also enjoyed the gaucho showman with his chains and balls.<br/> The venue needs a lot of improvement. It's not well-kept. The show, which began at 10pm, lasted almost 2 hours. They take a lot of pictures of you and try to sell them but, there was never any pressure to buy.</p>

Very poor transport arrangements - Please don’t select the drop off and pick up as the charges are very high( anlmost 30£ per passenger when an uber would have costed 2 £) and they transported us in a very uncomfortable car with a group of 2 other passenger. One if us had to sit cramped up in the back seat in the boot
