It was really interesting to learn about carnival. My only complaint is that I thought we were getting an English tour because they said they offer the tour in English. But, it was offered in several languages, so you have to wait for the guide to go through the program once in English and then again in Spanish and Portuguese. I would have paid more to not have to do that.
Also, they end the tour in the gift shop, and they won't let you leave until everyone else in the tour is done - which sucks.

If you’re short on time or just wish to leisurely enjoy a few hours in a fun and exhilarative way this private behind the scenes tour is guaranteed to be a great time. Not only was the tour very informative and enjoyable (we saw firsthand the 2024 Carnaval floats being dismantled and saw the costumes up close) but there were interactive moments such as trying on the costumes, learning to dance the samba and very tasty caipirinha to cap off the event.

Rio is always a good option, the beaches are a little neglected and the vendors are sometimes tiring but it is enjoyable anyway. I would pay a little more attention to the maintenance and cleaning of the beaches, traffic is a separate issue, crazy, I recommend a lot of patience if you rent a car
