Unique experience

Very interesting and enriching the Walking tour that addressed the history of the enslaved in Rio, the community known as Little Africa and the Stone of Salt. The guide Rafael made all the difference to make the experience interesting and lightweight despite the theme. Super indicate the walk.

Incredible... history, resistance, culture and memory

Wonderful and necessary! We went to the tour with a friend from the United States, and took the tour in English with the guide Carolina. Besides the sympathy of the guide, the information, the knowledge contained in the tour is invaluable! The importance of knowing the history of samba, together with the resistance of the black people, and of never ceasing to talk about slavery - more than ever - is huge... And this tour is a goldmine of knowledge and consciousness. ☰

History and struggle of African slaves. EXCELLENT

Excellent tour. The very pleasant guide Randú Gerrero explained many things that we did not know about Afro-Brazilian culture. He also gave us some references to stay a while after the excursion, when the party begins in the Pedra do Sal
