    Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival takes place during four nights each year when the local (samba schools) compete by parading through the open-air Sambodrome, a 3,000-foot (700-meter) avenue with grandstand seats rising from each side. When you arrive at the entrance with your pre-booked ticket, take your allocated seat in Sector 9 (if option selected) and get ready to partake in one of the biggest celebrations on Earth. Watch fireworks light up the sky and enjoy the excellent view of the parading dancers, percussionists and elaborate floats, along with 90,000 other spectators! Around 4,000 participants from each samba school prepare themed songs, dances, costumes and floats all year to compete for Carnival titles and cash prizes. From 9pm until early morning, you’ll see six schools pass through – each taking about an hour – as they convince the crowd that their performance is the best. At the end of the parade, your night ends either at the Sambadrome or with hotel drop-off, if selected.

    The Carnival was amazing! Buying the tickets was less so. We bought the tickets to the Carnival without transport. This was a mistake. You must arrange transportation as travel to and from the Carnival is difficult without making prior arrangements. We came to Rio on a cruise and arrived by on 11th February at 08.00 am, the time of the start of Carnival being 21.00 that night. We had previously checked with Grey Line the supplier, that we could collect the tickets on the day. We then got an email 2-3 days to say that collection on the day was no longer possible and that the only alternative was to pay US$75 for a courier service. Delivery was guaranteed for 10.00 in fact we had to make numerous phone calls to find our courier who turned up after 12 noon. Thus wasting half a day. What a rip off !!!!!! We we not happy considering that we paid £660 for tickets that had a face value of US$ 90.
