Good shows fill up weeks out and the best go first. Below: the 15 to book early, what each includes, and where they genuinely differ.
Roxy Dinner Show in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro. Three-course Brazilian dinner plus Aquele Abraço dance, music, and big production.
“I enjoyed the filet mignon and I thought it was good. The show was fantastic. It was a good night to celebrate mother's day with my husband. The place looks new and elegant.”
Ginga Tropical brings Rio Carnival to Teatro Fashion Mall with a samba class, folklore dances, and a photo moment. Starts 9:25 PM.
“Very nice and interactive show. I didn't get bored and enjoyed it.”
Ginga Tropical brings 1.5 hours of Brazilian samba, folklore dance, and audience participation to Rio, with a live bar and carnival finale.
“This was one of the best experiences I’ve ever been to in my life. The Show was great. Just absolutely amazing!!”
Brazilian Rhythms at the Roxy in Copacabana, with optional Brazilian BBQ dinner and hotel transfers for an easy late-night cultural show.
“We were collected on time and returned to our hotel without any problems. We booked the meal component of this tour and we LOVED the restaurant. The food was great and I would highly recommend the Brazilian BBQ. It was a set price menu consisting of salad then all the meat you can eat served with rice, french fries and onion rings. The dessert was ice cream and fruit salad. Drinks were extra but not over the top. The show itself was caught in a time warp. The venue was old, the table and seating old and the drinks expensive and undrinkable we ordered red wine and couldn't drink it.…”

“WHAT A INCREDIBLE SHOW!!! They show all of Brazilian culture and dance. So well put, this show NEEDS to be broadway. No spoilers, but all I will say is that interactive and fun!! This was definitely the BEST part of trip to Rio. BOOK early because it WILL sell out!!”

“This was the worst tour that I have ever been on and Viator should be ashamed of being linked with the company that had arranged this tour. The numbers of passengers exceeded the number of seats on the coach so one poor unfortunate male had to sit upfront with the driver anyway from his spouse. The coach arrived late to my hotel and thus when we arrived at Sugarloaf mountain the queues were horrendous. The tour manager was apparently surprised at the number of people in the queue but this as far as I am concerned should have been foreseen given the fact that we arrived late to the site…”
A small-group Salvador night: traditional Bahian dinner plus a powerful drum-and-dance show, hotel pickup, and city atmosphere in 4 hours.

“A very good show and a nice night out buffet was nice also the dancers and performers where of a high standard”
Round-trip transfer to Rio’s big samba show, optional churrascaria dinner, and two hours of professional dance and music.
“The pick up as easy to arrange, but traffic was problematic - but it did not interfere with the show. The venue was a nice intro to Samba, but it was on the loud side. The performers were talented and show quite enjoyable. We were seated center stage, a few rows back, and the volume was good - i would not have wanted to sit closer (it's a small venue so almost all tables have great sight lines), the opening act was a talented couple and the samba show itself was nice to experience. The driver was easy to find after the show and got us to and from the…”
Rio’s half-day Samba show and optional churrascaria dinner, with pickup from key beach neighborhoods and an up-close slice of Brazilian culture.
“I booked this show thinking it was a different show to the Ginga Show I had already seen. Nowhere in the description was the name of the show mentioned. I think this was a rip off! Very unhappy”
Pick a coast, a city or a river, and start there.
