Afro Brazilian Food Tour - Amazing tour! Carolina was kind and shared her deep knowledge of the African diaspora history in Brazil! It was fun eating and learning about the flavorful food.

You Wont Go Wrong With Val Vargas - We booked the full day tour and Val Vargas was our guide. He’s friendly and very knowledgeable about Blacks in the Diaspora. Every stop came with a history lesson and some laughs. The individual experience catered to you is the best way to go!

River of an incredible view - The Etnias agency was the best choice for our trip to Rio de Janeiro. Emily is super professional and was very careful with us all the time. We not only know the best landscapes so Rio, but the history of each place visited. That made all the difference in our experience. The Etnias agency and their team were amazing.

Impermeable! - Our experience was phenomenal! From the initial conversations with Emily and Bruna, to define the script for the day, to the tour itself, which was guided by Bruna, with the support of Jean (driver). A lot of information, with a lot of sympathy! We walked through Little Africa, had lunch in Santa Teresa and closed at Paço Imperial and Plaza XV. It was me, my mother, 75 years old, and my son, 8. And we all left super satisfied. My son already told me that when we return to Rio he wants to walk with Bruna and Jean again!! And you also had a photo session with Emily and Bruna, to close. Super, super recommended. Congratulations to the Etnias team. Keep going!!
