Wonderful African heritage tour

Robert_L, Apr 2024

Isabella was a wonderful guide. She has a vast knowledge of the history of the African diaspora, the city in general and enjoys sharing it. There are places she showed me that I would have never found out about if I were on my own. She also gave me insights into people's daily lives.

Response from Host, Apr 2024

Hi Robert, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I'm thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found it informative. It was my pleasure to share my knowledge of the African diaspora history and the city with you. I'm glad I could show you some hidden gems that you might not have discovered on your own. If you ever find yourself back in the city, I'd love to show you even more of what it has to offer. Thanks again for choosing Traveller XP to guide you! Best regards, Isabella

Great Experience!!

Marquirsha_C, Mar 2024

Isabella was a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the African culture of Brazil. I like that it ended up only being me during the tour. The museum was the highlight of the tour learning the history from Africa all the way to Brazil and how Brazil has change over time to current.

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Must See in Rio!

Jhaton_W, Jan 2024

Isabella is the absolute best! She was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we explored on the tour. But what I appreciated most is you can tell she’s really passionate about showing the world Brazil’s African heritage. Our group’s favorite moment was walking through a favela and learning the history of favelas from Isabella. We’ve all heard rumors about favelas, but being inside one humanized it for us in such a unique way. I 100% recommend this tour!!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

More than a tour, but a cultural experience!

Onnaedo_N, Sep 2023

This tour was phenomenal! Isabella was well-informed, passionate and attentive. If you are looking for a story about the REAL history of Brazil, look no further. This tour easily could be twice more, and you would still get your moneys worth. I highly recommend this tour and that you bring the whole family as well.

Response from Host, Sep 2023

Excellent tour from beginning to end!

Christopher_J, Sep 2022

I chose this tour to get the history and heritage of the Afro-Brazilian prospective. Isabella (tour guide) more than met my expectations. It was a good overall lesson on the Afrocentric culture here In Brazil for both past and present. The lunch that we had was delicious! Thanks for sharing the day with me.

An eye opening experience

Inspiration622262, Oct 2019

Isabella was very informative and provided a great experience. I was immersed in Brazilian culture and learned more than I thought I could. My mind was changed on Brazilian food and we were welcome each place we went. Highly recommend.
