A full on seven days, which is exactly what you expect and want! Mixed in between, lots of activities around the city and time to do your own things. Location was great, crew was too, and a nice size. Beyond anything else, Frances, our guide was incredible, I thought I had some stamina until I met her, brought the whole crew together. I still owe her a Cheeto.

TL;DR: Awesome trip, great people, well organized, worth every penny, 10/10 recommend Let me start by saying this trip was an experience I will remember forever. Carnival in Rio de Janeiro can be overwhelming and expensive! Which is exactly the reason why I decided to book with Yes-Trips. My original plan was to go alone, but this quickly changed when I saw the prices for the accommodations there and tried to find an alternative to still go. Yes-Trips' Package costs about the same as just a place to sleep in a normal hostel, since prices increase a lot during this period (when I looked in November/December), but has so much more to offer. The accommodation usually included 4-bed-doorms with breakfast right at the beach in Copacabana. It also comes with a perfectly sized group of around a dozen people (not too big) so you already have built in friends to enjoy and navigate the Carnival Chaos. Although we didn't have to do much organizing ourselves due to our guide Frances, who did such a great job finding places to eat, blocos to go to, keeping everybody safe and sound, while also never missing a chance to go out with us and showing off at dance-offs. Thank you so much! The itinerary was well planned out, but was also open for personal changes and adaptions, if needed. The Ilha Grande Extension was also nice to have some calmer days after the sleep deprivation of the previous week (mind you this was a personal choice, you can always opt for some more relaxed activities). Unfortunately we had lots of rain during the days, but the island experience was still there. It's a place where a lot of tourists come to enjoy the pretty beaches and do some hiking, so if that's something you're looking for - go for it. It was my first group trip and I would recommend it to anyone who also wants to celebrate carnival in Rio de Janeiro! I am very glad I went with Yes-Trips because the price is unbeatable! You just can't find this anywhere else. But of course the group also played a big role. I could not have imagined a better company than the one I was able to find there. Big Thank you to all of you! Came to Brazil alone, left with a bunch of new friends. Obrigada e até a próxima, beijinhos xx

Our two-week group trip through Brazil was simply unforgettable. From the very first day, the atmosphere in our group was incredible — full of excitement, laughter, and a real sense of togetherness. Starting with Carnival in Rio de Janeiro was the perfect way to kick things off. We had so much fun celebrating, dancing, and enjoying every moment together while still getting to experience the city beyond the festivities. The energy of those first days set the tone for the entire trip. From relaxing days on Ilha Grande to exploring Paraty and São Paulo, every stop brought us closer and the mood was always amazing. Ending our journey at the breathtaking Iguazu Falls felt like the grand finale this trip deserved. Sharing that moment together was truly special. A huge thank you to our incredible group leader, Frances. She didn’t just organize everything perfectly — she was a central part of our group, always positive, always supportive, and always up for anything. She made an already amazing trip even better. We had the best time in Brazil, and we’ll carry these memories — and the friendships we strengthened — with us for a long time. Big THANK YOU to Yes Trips!

This trip could have been better. Our trip organiser was quite disorganised, she gave us incorrect information about the snow mobile prices before the trip which caused some problems for me and my friends. On our 2nd day in Stockholm, our trip organiser took us on a tour around Stockholm but didn't give us any information about the locations she took us to, which we found a bit disappointing, as it was our first time in Stockholm. She wasn't very good at getting our group from place to place, e.g. she left part of our group at the hostel when we needed to get to Stockholm Central Station, and we had to get in contact with her to find where she had gone. This was a recurring issue when we (as a group) were going from place to place. She was unable to resolve the seating issue our group had in the train until my friend stepped in to help. Apart from the above issues, I thought our trip organiser was a lovely person, it just would have been nice if she put a bit more effort into organising our trip rather than taking this as an opportunity for a free holiday. On a separate note, the trip itself was amazing; we did see the northern lights and the activities we did were unforgettable experiences.

We had a Great time and the Organisation of yes-Trips was amazing but our Guide was not the Best… she Never wait for all people. One time we were left alone at the hostel in Stockholm Because she went to a Sightseeingtour with the group without us and we had to run after them! But Even then we loved the Trip! So four out of five stars
