Good - Great, if it was to be done again I still think I would go directly myself to the Marina now that I know, and the breakfast was only 2 fruits, but the atmosphere on the boat was good and the professionals were nice.

Looking for tours in Salvador? Do it with good tourism - I was in Salvador in Jan24. I booked the Ilha de Frades, Morro de São Paulo and walking tours. Ilha de Frades: Clean and calm sea for swimming, the route leaves from the sea terminal in Salvador and is done by catamaran. During the tour there is a performance by a pagoda group, they serve fruits and drinks (paid). On Ilha de Frades there is a restaurant structure and the cork oak mats to be placed underneath require a minimum cost of 50 reais. Morro de São Paulo: Simply wonderful! I loved! I highly recommend going to Morro de São Paulo. As it is a very far destination, it becomes very tiring. I recommend spending 3 days in Morro de São Paulo, to make the most of the destination, as there are islands (Gamboa, Boipeba) to visit and the night there is quite busy. Wallace tour: tour of the historic part of Salvador (churches, pillory, museum). Tour carried out with the guide Jose Jorge (an excellent professional) since hiring the service, he provided me with all assistance before and during my trip. I highly recommend @deboaturisno 1000/10

Spectacular beach - The beach is great and the boat service was well organized. The good tourism agency was efficient in providing answers to all the questions I asked. That's what led me to buy from this agency.

Tour to Frades Island - The ride was great. About the timetables: they were super punctual, both on the way and on the way. About the Boat: Safe, with guidance on the use of life jacket. The super attentive staff and great attentive staff. We just don’t like caipirinha (we found her “watery”, a matter of taste). We loved the fruits and the possibility to take food/cooler to the island. About the island: Accessibility for the elderly (I liked this point), several restaurants, paradisiac landscape. No comments... the place is absurdly beautiful. I highly recommend

Only Frades Island - Excellent. Staff 101% Only if it was the fruits that were served 15 min before arrival and already passed. For me didn't even need fruits, but if they were advertised, they should serve better..

Deceptive and dishonest practices - We did a ridge circuit in October 2023. The guide was very good and the visits interesting but FRAM's practices are scandalous. The reservation contract was not respected. The product sheet was modified between the reservation and the invitation without our being informed. And in the end not all the services were respected! When booking, no mention of a transfer "collective shuttles with clients from other agencies" and group limited to 49 people. On the invitation: collective transfer with the possibility of waiting 1 hour at the airport before departure + group increased to 55 people! In reality: 2.5 hours of waiting at the airport + 2 hours of driving (landing at 6 p.m., arriving at the hotel at 10:30 p.m., it was 80km!!!) + group of 60 people! We needed a double-decker bus because there were so many of us. This is unacceptable and scandalous. We would never have booked under these conditions. Is it normal for a tour operator to allow a contract to be signed with certain conditions and once everything is paid, to change the rules unilaterally? NO !!! Despite all our documents and irrefutable evidence, customer service shows total bad faith. No credible justification for these changes. Depending on what they arrange, they take into account the first or 2nd product sheet which they did not even respect anyway. Deceptive, scandalous and illegal practices. We contact the tourism and travel mediator.
