Historical Tour - It was really cool, a fun and instructive tour, we learned a little about the history of Salvador, the discovery of Brazil. Guide Isa is very communicative, careful with everyone, fun and kind.

Great - They were extremely punctual when picking up the hotel and the service provided was very satisfactory. In particular, I would like to mention the guides Alessandro and Luzimar who are very lively and explain everything very well. *The tours taken were the Historic and Panoramic city tour and Ilha de Itaparica + Frades

Wonderful tour with guide Zinho - The tour was wonderful. It's great to know the history, customs and tradition. Salvador is an inexplicable thing that doesn't even make you want to leave. The culture is wonderful. Incredible tour with guide Zinho, he told the whole story at each tourist spot we passed. And we even got a free show.

Good tour of Salvador - The only problem was that the guide was quite late (+20 minures). Other than that, I really liked the tour, the bus was comfortable, the guide spoke really good English and was very friendly.
