5.00One of the best walking tours I have even been on! Not only was it super interesting, but also entertaining and time flew by (almost too quickly). Would recommend it to everybody visiting Rio!!

5.00I 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!

5.00A 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

5.00Extraordinary 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.
