Plataforma Samba Show
Tour / Activity
My Rating: 
Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
My Review: Spectacular!!! This show is filled with amazing dance performances that cover the entire history of the Brazilian Samba dance culture. The proud-captivating performance of the Gaucho dancer is amazing and worth seeing. Great seating, right by the stage. Also, there is a very warm stage presence by the performers and host; particularly with someone like me who likes to take a lot of pictures!!! Even under the constant flash of my camera, the performers remained very gracious. I loved it!

Corcovado Mountain, Christ Redeemer and Sugar Loaf Mountain Day Tour
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
My Review: Gray Line Tours (the agency responsible for this tour in Rio) showed that they are a very competent and reliable during my visit! To begin my tour, I mistakenly went to the wrong pick-up location. But not to worry! In the mornings, there are usually several tours, from various tour groups, commencing their activities. And in my case, I also went to the wrong tour bus. I was greeted by a tour guide, who then called the Gray Line tour agency to tell them that I was on-board, and that they would drop me off at the tour group's starting point. Oh, and the tour......when they say "all day", trust that they mean ALL DAY! They should put, “tour 9am – until”. The tour guides do the best job they can to try to keep us on a time schedule.....but hey, we're tourists!!! It's like trying to keep bunch of kids focused when their are so many distractions! What's more, everyone wants to take the same picture!!; the Christ Redeemer, wow! Everyone wanted this picture!...and they got it! Lastly, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the magnificent job that our tour guide did. It is, particularly, fascinating to me when I encounter a person that can speak many languages fluently, but to also have the charismatic personality to match, amazing!
This was great! Even with my “bone-head” mistake, they were still able to correct my mistake with great inter-agency communication and professionalism that made the very chaotic portion of the tour--picking up all the tour passengers—a very comforting and painless experience.
Overall, it was a great tour, just prepare yourself to have the necessary energy to endure an entire day!

Andalusian Dinner and Flamenco Show in Barcelona
Tour / Activity
My Rating:
Location: Barcelona, Spain
My Review: The food was great, staff were very attentive and helpful, the show was lively. I loved the interactive portion of the show at the end! I only wish the costumes could have been a bit more vibrant, and as extravagant as the stock photo might suggest. However, it was a great show, although a bit pricey!
