Traveler reviews
True AfroBrazilian Experience
We had an incredible tour of Little Africa with Ernesto! As a tourism student at UNIRIO and an Afrotourism specialist, he is incredibly knowledgeable. He gave us deep insights into how Africans built vibrant communities through resistance and innovation. I left with a whole new appreciation for the significance of Afro-Brazilian culture. Highly recommend!
A walk through memory and resistance
Emily was so passionate about every story she shared. from the cultural center to the historic streets of Lapa, everything felt important. it was powerful and moving.
Immersion in the true history of Rio
The tour with Emily was one of those that made us look different. I met places with a vivid memory, such as the church of Santa Rita and the suspended garden of Valongo.
History, identity, and emotion
we walked, we listened, we felt. Raphael explained everything with so much care and knowledge. Pedra do Sal was beautiful, and knowing the story behind it made it even more special.
Much more than a tour
The little Africa walk with Raphael was exciting. He talked about culture, Resistencia and also of joy. the alley of João Inácio was one of my favorite places.
