Rio de Janeiro Private Carnival Behind-the-Scenes Tour: Samba City & Selarón Steps

Explore more with one pass

Discover more, spend less.

Behind the scenes of Carnival functions as an all-in-one experience pass rather than a series of separate bookings. Your entry tickets, certified private guide, and private transportation are bundled together for one group price, with the tour tailored to your interests. Communication in English, Spanish, or Portuguese keeps things easy if you are visiting from abroad. A four-hour duration and capacity for up to four passengers create a clear, contained window in your day for this experience.

Seamless activation.

After booking, your confirmation secures everything included in this private experience, so you will not need to arrange separate tickets or transport. Your tour begins with pick-up at 7:00 AM from one of the designated neighborhoods such as Barra da Tijuca, São Conrado, Copacabana, Ipanema, or Leblon, and the timing of this pick-up effectively acts as your activation point. The experience then unfolds over approximately four hours in a comfortable, air-conditioned car before you are returned to your starting area by around 12:00 PM. Think of it like a single-use pass: if your tour is scheduled for Monday, all inclusions apply only within that specific four-hour window on Monday, rather than across multiple days.
