What are people saying about last year's samba tour?
"There’s really nothing else like it. Courtney and Renan’s unique connection to samba in the states and to the samba schools in Rio give you a completely insider view of the schools."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you. Other people from our Bateria have gone to Rio, but no one has had an experience like the one you and Renan delivered. Five stars!"
"This trip was 11/10!!! So incredible!!! Thanks Courtney and Renan :)))"
"If you are interested in a real education that goes deeper than say, CBC, into the culture, history, and working of the Samba schools especially the Bateria, this is the trip for you. [...] This is a well curated trip for those who are ready to dive deeper into the workings of some of the large and small samba schools. Renan really provided and supported this effort well. I really appreciate his efforts and interest in cultivating this connection and comprehension. What a great team!"
