Mig Luis – United StatesJuly 12, 2023 – Verified booking
I had a wonderful time on this tour getting to know the history and culture of Salvador especially its roots in African culture. Our guide Nilson was so knowledgeable and gave us a unique perspective of Bahia. He really takes pride in the city and its history. The highlight was the visit to the Pelourinho with its colorful buildings, well preserved churches and street art. I would definitely recommend this tour. Thank you, Nilson! 😊

We were very happy with our guide Nilson and couldn't imagine a better guide for Salvador. Very good German made it very easy for us to communicate. With Ariane there was also a top driver on board - I can recommend it to every visitor to Salvador.

I went on this private day tour together with my mother. We greatly appreciated the availability and sympathy of our guide, Ronaldo who accompanied us to discover the main attractions of the city. I recommend this tour to those who are short on time or who want to get a first glimpse of the city of Salvador
