Amazing! The best! - It was beyond what I was expecting. I wanted to have fun in Rio and I did. Anderson took us to the most amazing places. He is so knowledgeable and kind. He made us feel so welcomed in Rio. What a joy.

Learn Some Portuguese! - I had planned to come to Brazil this year but I stopped prepping Portuguese because I got scared I wouldn’t be able to afford the trip. I should’ve kept going and I would’ve enjoyed the nightlife even more! Lapa feels like Bourbon Street in New Orleans, except with more room to breathe! It was great to hear the live music and see the locals getting down (even though I couldn’t really get down with them due to said language barrier 😂). My tour guide, Anderson, is clearly well known in these spots and thus can make for a unique experience for you. I got pulled onstage at the Samba show at least four times! The music, drinks, and vibes are all great! Fun night out for sure.

Nightlife in Santa Teresa was magical - bars with live music, streets full of color and vibe. Anderson made us feel at home. he danced with us, explained some history of the area too. really fun and personal experience.

Rhythm and joy in the center of Rio - We passed through different bars, with live music and DJ. Each place had a different vibe. Anderson was charismatic all the time, knew exactly what to do with the group.

So much more than just bar hopping - this wasn’t a typical pub crawl – Anderson brought us to hidden gems, spots with live samba, great drinks, and local energy. i felt like i was out with friends, not on a tour.

Very disappointing!!! - Very disappointed with the delivery, this was not met as expected in the narrative. We were supposed to do four to five 30-minute bars, but Anderson, our escort, decided otherwise. Arrived at 8:30 pm at the Scenarium, he wanted to dance with the girls of the group, at 10:30 pm, we were still there. And let's not see each other on the dance floor, he offered to come home if we wanted. "Not very professional" He had us in a taxi at our expense of course ($65 R). As a result... we had a failed night.
