4.Salvador by Night: Cultural Dinner and Show

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 27 reviews · 4 hours · from $150

Experience Salvador after dark with Bahian dinner, historic-center walking, drums, capoeira, samba, and a small-group guide.

“Ohjelma oli erinomainen. Herkkäkorvaisille suosittelen korvatulppia. Kannattaa mennä yläkatsomoon, jotta näkee koko shown. Laadukas ja ammattitaitoinen esitys, vahva suositus! Ruokailu tapahtui hyvässä ravintolassa, mutta siellä ei kysytty esim. pihvin kypsyysastetta. Muuten ruoka oli laadukasta. Kokonaiskesto oli enemmänkin 3 tuntia, koska emme tarvinneet kuljetusta.”

6.Salvador by Night: Cultural Show and Dinner.

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 17 reviews · 4 hours · from $113

Experience Salvador after dark with Bahian dinner, capoeira, Samba de Roda, Candomblé legends, transfers, and a multilingual guide.

“The show was incredible, so engaging and exciting to watch by a group of amazingly talented people! The dinner after was at a separate restaurant and was not a buffet, it was a choice from a set menu. Quite limited options, but the food and service were very good. The guide was great and very friendly, but more of a host than a guide. I'm not sure how necessary it was to have a guide, though it did ensure everything ran smoothly.”

Review of Rio’s Roxy Dinner Show, with Brazilian music, dance, chef Danilo Parah’s menu, transfers, costs, and practical booking advice.

“Hace mucho frío en el lugar , la cena no es tan buena para el precio que es , las bebidas extremadamente caras , espere mejores vestuarios y bailes típicos de Brasil , hubo partes aburridas , deberían compartir más de la historia de Brasil , y que algunos comentarios se hagan en inglés o español ya que las bromas y charlas en el show eran 100 portugués , es una experiencia de 4-5 horas que se reduce en un show de hora y media. La espera es demasiado larga para el show. yo no recomendaría esto a alguien que viene por primera vez , yo he venido a Río…”
