Wilson was an excellent tour guide. He was so passionate and knowledgeable. We absolutely loved our time with him. We even ran into a couple of his family members on the tour, and someone he tutored, which made the tour even more fun and exciting. Wilson is the best.

Great experience but it didn't help that the tour company informed me a night before they didn't have English translator which can be a massive inconvenience especially if it's already planned as part of the vacation. Also I think it's better to stay there one night, especially with the 4..5hr journey there and back you don't get the full experience of the island

I had such a great time, Vagner is an amazing guide with a wealth of knowledge. He gave me tips on how to stay safe and even helped me order vegan street food. I highly recommend this tour group!! I also recommend checking on line when places are open, a lot are closed on sundays.

Our experience was amazing and a highlight of our trip. Our guide Andre was knowledgeable and fantastic! Our Chef Antonia and her family treated us like family. We are grateful for this experience and can't wait to make Moqueca back home in North Carolina, USA. Obrigada!

The guide was excellent...professional, thorough and extremely knowledgeable. We visited Fon and Yoruba shrines...while no ceremony was underway, helped understand the role Candomble has played in Afro-Brazilian life, past and present. Well worth it!

The pre-drink venue was interesting (busy and good cachaca shot with vanilla). The show was just excellent...good round-up of Afro-Brazilian resistance and experience...really enjoyed it. The dinner was at a fabulous venue but the meal choices weren't the best that they offer (I'd eaten there before and chosen a Bahian dish which was amazing). The guide was fantastic...full of life and stories and brought the whole experience alive!!!

a different way to know the history and culture of Salvador. Um jeito diferente de conhecer a história e a cultura de Salvador

We really enjoyed this walking tour of Pelourinho and other parts of the Bay in Salvador. Our guide was Jorge and he was excellent, kind and friendly. He has so much information about the city and it was just fascinating to learn. It was our first time in Salvador and it was the perfect tour to do on our first day. Thank you Jorge!

Our tour guide, Vagner, was amazing! He spoke English well. This tour was definitely my favorite, or at the very least, second favorite tour of our one-week Brazil trip. We visited different museums and Vagner helped explain the history and culture behind many of what we saw. (If you use google translate and the camera option in this app, you can also translate Portuguese words/menus/descriptions in museums from Portuguese to your language). I highly do NOT recommend keeping your phone in your hand or holding it up, and was thankful Vagner explained things so well with so much knowledge. I felt like we saw the entire city with this tour. We went into favela-like areas, went into a vodun worship area, met the doctor, who invited us for lunch. We went to all the tourist hot spots. We went to the large market, saw livestock being sold, meat being butchered, spices, voodoo dolls, and so much more. This tour is definitely a MUST if you want to explore the deep culture of Salvador in a safe way with a knowledgeable tour guide and driver.

Very interesting tour around the city with experienced guide. Visited both historical sites as well as well-known places for fun and entertainment. Would recommend to have a glimpse of the whole city!

Fantastic experience! We learned a lot about Candomblé religion. Sacrifices and Candomblé rituals are performed in the house where we went with our tourist guide, Nilson. We saw the various shrines and learned about the customs of those who start the religion. Very interesting!

Very informative and knowledgeable guide, found out some interesting facts about Salvador and took in the best views of the city.

Josuel was responsive and accommodating of my shrimp allergy (shrimp is in many foods in Bahia, beware!) right from the beginning. He's super friendly and easy to talk to and so inviting with his way of opening Bahian culture and history. He took us to the Feira de São Joaquim, which would have been completely overwhelming but was instead fascinating under his gentle guidance. He's not talking all the time but allowing us to explore and pointing out some curiosities. Back at his house, we made moqueca together and ate it and drank some wine while talking about education in Brazil (he's also a public school teacher). His Portuguese is quite understandable, and he also speaks English. He's been a guide for 20+ years here and it is apparent. He really knows this place and our experience was richer for his knowledge. Great way to spend a few hours in a new city!!!

Nilson is a great tour guide, historian, teacher and linguist who was able to bring the rich culture of Salvador alive with storytelling and lived experience.I experienced the established sites and incredible experiences off the beaten path.

The tour was excellent - I really liked the ability of my guide to tailor the topic areas I was interested in- Focus on the black experience in Salvador. I hope to come back with my family.
