Rio: Salgueiro Samba School Rehearsal Admission w/ Transfer

Experience the magic and energy of the Rio de Janeiro Carnival before it takes place. Enjoy access to a Salgueiro Samba School rehearsal and witness a Bateria performance, with live music and dancers.
Who said you have to wait until Carnival to see a Samba School rehearsal?

Samba Schools begin their preparation for the great Carnival parade several months in advance. The first rehearsals usually start in July or August (this depends on each samba school).

From July on, every Saturday night, in small groups, we visit the prestigious Salgueiro Samba School (one of the best in Rio de Janeiro), and it will be our pleasure to take you to this unforgettable experience.

Depending on your hotel, we will pick you up between 8:00 pm and 9:00 pm.

Your tour includes round-trip transportation from your accommodation in the following neighborhoods: Centro, Catete, Botafogo, Flamengo, Glória, Lapa, Copacabana, Leme, Ipanema, and Leblon. We do not offer pick-up in Barra da Tijuca, São Conrado, or Recreio (the meeting point will be at the Sheraton Leblon Hotel), nor in Santa Teresa (meeting point at Vila Galé Hotel – Centro).

On the afternoon of your tour, the tour guide will inform you of the exact pick-up time.

Upon arrival at the Samba School rehearsal, your entrance ticket will be included, and a comfortable table will be reserved for you and your group.

This magical night will begin with a lively Brazilian Popular Music band.

Beautiful samba dancers (passistas), traditional baianas, talented musicians, and the flag-bearing couple (mestre-sala and porta-bandeira) will introduce you to the fascinating world of Samba and Rio’s Carnival.

Around 11:30 pm comes the highlight of the night: the performance of the bateria (percussion orchestra), the heart of the samba school. Sixty percussion instruments played simultaneously in perfect harmony create a wonderful rhythm of unmatched strength and joy.

This rhythm is a treasure, a true cultural heritage of priceless value.

At 1:00 am, we will take you and your group back to your accommodation.

Your tour includes round-trip transportation, a licensed tour guide, entrance ticket, and a shared table.

Food and drinks are not included.

Without a doubt, you will remember this night forever!!!

We can describe a samba school rehearsal, but there are no words to truly explain the incredible energy and the unique feeling of visiting a samba school.

The Salgueiro Samba School rehearsal is not just a show — it is a wonderful cultural experience you simply cannot miss during your visit to Rio de Janeiro.
