Mônia was an outstanding guide. Professional … personable … engaging. We saw all of the highlights of Salvador including the gold church, market, pillory square, and upper and lower city. We were exposed to and learned a lot about the blended cultures of this amazing city. She led us at a comfortable pace and gave us a great lunch. We would rate this 12 out of 10 - fantastic.
