"Essential for Understanding the Afro-Brazilian Experience The Little Africa Walking Tour was eye-opening and powerful. Our guide, Carolina, was amazing - super knowledgeable and passionate. We got to see important historic sites like Pedra do Sal and Valongo Wharf and learned so much about Afro-Brazilian history and culture. Perfect if you want a deeper, more honest look at Brazilian history through an Afro-Brazilian lens!"

"History and cultural heritage excavated - This was the most extensive and detailed history tour I have been on. Focusing on the motherland and its people’s enduring spirit it brought me to the shoreline of Rio and extensions beyond. Marianne my guide laid out the survival essentials our people used and those which are relevant and still being utilized today. The tour is worth going through twice to absorb it all. Thank you Etnias"

"Decolonial tour about the life of enslaved Africans in Rio de Janeiro. The tour included archaeological sites in the old town. Very experienced, well educated guide. Bruna has a history degree and she helped us to understand nuances about the history of afro-brazilians‘s life nowadays and in the past."
