Great costumes and floats. Loud but not too much, and a pair of earplugs will do the trick. Probably not good for kids, they will be bored after a few hours. We paid for covered boxes via Viator, the services was not what was promised and there are plenty of other covered boxes for cheaper and with better service.

Purchasing the Carnival tickets through Viator, in advance of arriving in Rio was a super easy and gave me peace of mind knowing I had tickets. The location to pick up the physical tickets was easy to find and the tickets/ confirmation numbers were well organized and efficiently obtained.

My experience of buying the tickets for Rio de Janeiro Carnival was very easygoing. The process was fast and I received the tickets within a partner application. Strongly recommend this provider.

Specific and extremely Details floats.
Massive colorful and extravagant floats. Delays too long, and music not so good..

Awesome experience, chose Grandstand 9. The ticket pick-up has clear instructions as well as gettting to our places (when doubt, the provider supported very well through text messages). Brazilian Carnaval is a must-do <3 Thank you

Easy enough to book and pick up the tickets. We had good seats. I would use again if I were coming back to Rio for carnival.

The app was a little glitchy, I ended up only getting one ticket on the app, and I had to go to their physical location to pick up my second ticket. Being asked to download the app and do all these things on the app in order to get the ticket, made me a little weary...I was relieved to find this was legit. Line at their physical location was very short and only took me 5-10 minutes to pick up my second ticket. I heard others picking up tickets from the official seller at the hotel was a several hour wait in line.

Achei muito complicado chegar na entrada e depois sair. A venda da passagem não é muito transparente: Quando comprei na Viator no voucher não me deram a posição certa com o assento, descobri tudo quando fui retirar a passagem em Copacabana.

Thanks for your review. We always try to have a clear communication through Viator messages and reply every customer request. But we will work on a better information.

初めてのリオのカーニバル。期待以上の感動を頂きました。流石1部リーグ。豪華さ、踊りのでき、凝った演出、衣装の素晴らしさ、演者の熱意、圧巻と言う言葉がぴったりです。又是非とも見に来たいです。2部リーグも見たのですが、やはり凄く凝った演出て、素晴らしかったです。

バウチャーの引き換えも簡単にできました。引き換え場所のマールホテルはコパカバーナの中心にありすぐわかりました。カーニバルは感動の一言です。2部チームでも素晴らかった。1部チームはもっと素晴らしいのでしょう。楽しみです。

Es war super. Der Bereich ist abgezäunt und sicher. Die Veranstaltung dauert etwas lang, aber sehenswert.
Das Ticket abholen war ebenfalls leicht!
