Incredible experience - must do in Rio! This tour was fantastic - Damiana is incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much with us about not only history but her personal experiences. She spent a lot of time answering all of our questions and I cannot recommend this tour enough for those looking to learn about this important history!

The BEST tour I had in Rio de Janeiro! I visited Rio de Janeiro for my very first time the week of March 20, 2023. I had always heard a lot about Rio de Janeiro’s beaches, night life, Carnival, music, and its cuisine, but to be honest, I was most excited about its history. I knew that Brazil was home to more Africans who were kidnapped into slavery than any other place in the world and I wanted a deeper, first-hand guide through this history. Therefore, I intentionally sought a tour that would provide me with the history, insights into cultural landmarks, and cultural perspectives that would satisfy my curiosity. I am a frequent world traveler and I have discerning tastes and expectations. Yes, I enjoy the entertainment and relaxation that each new adventure offers me, but I always immerse myself in the history and culture of every place I visit. Well, taking the Little Africa Rio tour with Daviana … exceeded my expectations and that is pretty difficult feat to accomplish! First, Daviana was very accommodating and went out of her way to schedule a tour for me that worked for my schedule. To be honest, I believe she went over and beyond by altering her own plans to set up a tour for me because she sensed my excitement about the tour. I was the only person taking the tour that particular morning and she could have easily (and rightfully) canceled the tour because of the low number of participants signed up, but she didn’t and I am forever grateful to her for not doing so. She arrived to the designated meeting location on time and with a professional and friendly, “Bom dia!” By her demeanor, I could immediately tell that she enjoyed her work and was excited to share the rich African-Brazilian history that was specific to Rio de Janeiro. She was so knowledgeable and thorough that I was surprised to learn that she had not studied history or anthropology at university. I am a university academic in the U.S. and so her competency in telling the story of Africans in Rio de Janeiro easily matched those who have given me tours in other countries who had studied the subject matter in school. I wish space permitted me to go over the exquisite details she provided at each site on the tour, but let me assure you, she knows her stuff! Her knowledge and skill at weaving documentable history with storytelling was perhaps only eclipsed by her personality and relationship with individuals in Little Africa Rio and beyond. There were several other tours being provided to local Brazilians and Rio de Janeiro school children and Daviana seemed to know all of the tour guides. They freely exchanged greetings and pleasantries and she seemed to be genuinely well liked and respected by others. This was a good sign because it said that this is not just some recent hobby of hers. To make things even better for my tour, Daviana took me deeper into the favela near Little Africa than I bet she takes other tours. We even had lunch at a restaurant in the favela and a delicious snack in Sardine Alley. In all, this was the BEST tour experience I had in Rio de Janeiro during my visit. It was far better, far more personal, and Daviana’s knowledge and competence seemed to be more genuinely acquired and passionately shared that what I sensed from other tours I have taken in other countries. My only regret is that I did not hire Davian for my other tours. I would have preferred her to the other guides … but alas, she shared with me her website. She is a small tour operator and I will definitely use her services when I return. I will also recommend her to any other of my associates, family, or friends who visit Rio de Janeiro. If you are visiting Rei de Janeiro and you read this review, I urge you to give Davian a try. If you want a personalized tour expertly provided by someone who is passionate about the history and culture of Rio de Janeiro, Daviana is your best option.

DO NOT BOOK!!! I booked this tour April 2023. I arrived at the meeting location, an hour from my hotel, at 10 am. I called and texted several times with no response as I stood in the lobby of The Windsor, only to see an email sent at 12:46 am that said they didn't have a guide available. The person at the desk says I'm not the first one . What?? Now I'm really seething!!! It would have been more professional to call. I don't check emails on vacation. I spent R $110 getting to the Windsor and R $110 getting back to the Wyndam in Rio Barra. I will definitely be requesting all monies returned for this horrible experience.Please don't waste your time or money.

Awesome Little Africa Tour This was my first tour on my vacation in Rio de Janeiro and I loved it! The tour was very informative and enjoyable. Damiana is an excellent tour guide. She is very knowledgeable and there was so much information about the African ancestry in Brazil. She took a lot of pictures and even provided a detailed summary of the tour afterwards. I definitely recommend this tour!

This tour was very enriching and I recommend. I am French and I have an average level in English. bc the guide is attentive and concerned, she made sure that my friends and I understood her explanations. This tour helps to understand the history of the country and the reasons for their diversity.

Amazing learning experience My wife and I did this tour in Mar 2023 and it was the best part of our Brazil vacation which also included short stints in São Paulo and Buzios. Damiana was super knowledgeable, kind, engaging, and supportive (mostly for laughing at all my jokes 😊). Her passion for highlighting the black history and culture of Rio is admirable, helping to keep the memory and contributions of millions of African slaves and their descendants alive.Here are some other random thoughts…- She was very communicative and punctual which I always appreciate- I felt extremely safe walking around the Little Africa neighborhoods. My wife was super paranoid about Rio in general but I am so happy we took the chance to venture out and took this experience. I can tell that Damiana is well known throughout the neighborhoods which put our fears to bay.- People were super friendly. Two guys having lunch at the most famous fried sardine spot in Rio offered us one of their plate to sample. So glad I gave into my temptation because it was so good (Note: I usually don’t eat from people off the street) - Damiana is a great photographer! - Make sure you stop by the museum at the end of the tour to get something to eat. It is great to support and help the food is also delicious- Use Damiana to get all of your questions about life in Brazil answered.
