Which hotel will the tour participants be staying in? Which Sector will tour participants be sitting in inside the Sambadrome? What time will the tour leader depart the Sambadrome to take us go back to the hotel?

At this stage, the departure is too far in advance for us to give you a confirmed hotel name. Hotels are subject to change, we do not provide inaccurate information beforehand. We suggest reaching out roughly 90 days prior for this information. The tour leader will be the one to advise customers on where to meet up after watching the parade.

Is there an option to add on additional nights stay at the end of the tour and have a return airport transfer on a different day?

Unfortunately, we can no longer assist with booking pre/post accommodation and transfers. We recommend Booking.com for accommodation and Welcome Pickups or Rome2Rio for transfers.

I had a great time in Peru. Our guide Zema was very clear in all the activities we had for the day, very knowledgeable and experiment. The hotels were nice with AC, heaters, clean bathrooms, and comfortable bed. On the long bus ride there was many stops on the way for bathroom break, site visits, and amazing views. There were minor problems which are not relevant for an overall experience, but with the price they were easily overlooked. Again, thanks for the wonderful experience and awesome guide
