Rio is known worldwide for its gigantic carnival and samba parade. But not many people know the background of the origin of the festival. Take a behind-the-scenes tour of one of the world’s biggest festivals!

Together with your guide, you will visit, among other things, the historical site, Pedra do Sal, which is known as the birthplace of samba, the great Sambadrome, which is a stadium built for the carnival and the charming district of Morro da Conceição, which is brimming with artists and workshops today.

The highlight of the tour is the visit to a samba school, where the preparations for the extraordinary parades take place and the colourful clothes and costumes are designed and sewn.
