Don’t miss out!!

It was really interesting so hear about all the women playing a role in Brazilian history that is usually never mentioned, even though their impact was and is significant! Unique tour you shouldn’t miss out on! Jessica as a guide explained everything really well and it was a chill and friendly atmosphere!

Energetic honouring of Rio women

Totally enjoyed Jess’ story telling - great insight into the lives of women often forgotten or written out of history yet so significant in their contribution to humanity.

Different side of Rio

Even thoughv I’ve been in Rio 2.5 years, Jessica took us down streets and showed us sites I hadn’t experienced before. She has a positive vibe, is very knowledgeable, and enjoys what she’s doing. I highly recommend this tour.

Great tour and Jessica is a great guide!

My friend and I had a great time on this tour with Jessica! She has put so much thought into the tour's creation and curation: highlighting women from key Brazilian demographics, showcasing women from throughout all of Brazil's history, and even giving out fans designed with the historic figures to cool yourself down with while walking. It's a really clever and fun tour, we highly recommend!

Great tour

Jessica’s tour is fantastic, packed with a lot of information. Her enthusiasm and knowledge makes the special topic even more interesting. It was the perfect tour!

Interesting tour about Brasilian women

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