    I took this tour in Brazil and it was one of the most inspiring experiences of my trip. The stories, the places, and the perspective on the women who shaped Rio were powerful and eye-opening. And a special mention goes to our guide, Jessica — she is absolutely incredible. Her passion, energy, and deep knowledge make the tour truly unforgettable. You can feel how much she loves what she does, and it makes every moment even more special. Highly recommended.

  • A great and innovative tour

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience. She was knowledgeable, engaging, and genuinely passionate about the history and culture she shared with us. Her explanations were clear and fascinating, and she was always happy to answer questions and tailor the tour to our interests. She made the experience feel personal, relaxed, and fun, while still being incredibly professional. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an insightful and memorable tour.

    Magnificent tour! Jessica is very prepared, funny and spectacular! The tour is about many women of different horizons; I recommend it to everyone, to reflect on what men have always imposed on women. Very good! Sophie

    I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. Jessica is extremely knowledgable and this tour gives unique insight into hidden histories you wouldn’t discover other walking tours. Arguably more importantly, though, she is lovely, sincere, and a delightful friendly face for anyone visiting Rio. Go on this tour!

  • Interesting tour about Brasilian women

    Even though the weather was really bad with a lot of rain, Jessica was very enthusiastic and excited. She is clearly passionate about the subject and knows a lot. I would definitely recommend this tour.

    A different and super interesting walking tour. Jessica knows very deeply the women in question and above all, the stories behind each of them. And the most interesting thing is that Jessica puts a special energy on it, it was a warm walk! Super recommended

    Jessika was super interesting, super intelligent and super fun. The tour was mindful as for women, art, history, architecture and how it all relates to day. Fully recommend the tour.

    Extraordinary experience with Jessica. In addition to discovering the centre of Rio and parts of Carioca and Brazilian history, it raises awareness of the contribution of women and their struggles despite the overwhelming patriarchy. I also liked that the portraits were varied.... From female fighters to a serial killer... to a host of artists. Black women with a double burden were also well represented. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
