Beautiful tour of the historic center - Lazarus gave us a beautiful and very valuable tour of the historic area of Salvador. He explained many things to us, from the history, geography, population and architecture of the city and its surroundings. We spent a beautiful afternoon in your company, and with an excellent Spanish. Thank you so much! We will be back soon (and at carnival) 🥳

Pleasant and enriching tour! - We loved the Walking Tour experience with the Guide Carlos Triunfo. He patiently explained a lot of the history of the city and led us on a very nice walk along the Pelourinho. It was enriching! I recommend too for those who want to have a better knowledge about the history of Salvador and the Bahia people, in addition to learning how to locate yourself by the center.
