VIP salsa experience

We had such a wonderful night at Pedra do Sal- Monday night is absolutely packed and Anderson took us to a special vip area right next to the band so we had great views and space. He was a great host and we had a lovely evening with him.

Very well accompanied by the guide and had a quiet time, it is a very nice tour for those who want to have fun at night safely

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.

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.

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.
