Good insight into Salvador history - The tour in reality appeared to be as expected from the description. Tour guide Vagner was excellent, his English - fluent, so this allowed me not to listen, but to ask various questions as well. We got knowledge about slaves trade, their preservation of traditions, religious rituals, visited places of worship, etc. We were feeling safe and relaxed during the tour, so, it is highly recommended and... ask for Vagner as a guide.

Well worth it. - Had Nilson (or Ni) as a guide. Extremely passionate about his city of Salvador. Can speak multiple languages, has the info about almost everything you could ask about in the tour. A great cameraman also. He showed me around the city. We walked to the beaches and some important landmarks. He explained the history and the context for pretty much everything we came across. I think my favorite part of the tour was going to open air market. It was quite an experience for the senses. It was a great tour especially since I had no knowledge of Salvador before coming to Brazil. Ni gave me tons of great info that a lot of people won’t have. He put in the time and research to know everything you could want to know during the tour. Please book with this company. And hopefully you have a great experience as I did.

One great tour - This tour is a must if you want to learn about the culture. Vanger really knew the history and explained it in terms the you could absorb it easily. Just be prepared to really see lower city. He will immerse you in the culture. And for an added surprise we were invited in to the percussion school where the best percussionist have trained. I really enjoyed the market there was a lot to see, and the people were fanstatiic. I highly recommend this tour!!!!

Exceptional guides, great cultural experiences - The experiences delivered by Your Tour Brazil were great. In the planning process, Marcos was clear with the tour options and details as well as pricing. He also arranged airport transfers, which were timely and convenient. Ariana is a great driver!! The tours were very informative and engaging. André was very informative and organized, and really knowledgeable with the Cultural Show and Dinner experience. He is a very engaging person and shared his experiences as a native of Salvador. He also introduced us to local community leaders. We could spend so much more time with him. Wilson was exceptional! Being a historian, he is of the most informative guides we have worked with. Being a great storyteller, we gained great insight into the origins of Salvador and African-Brazilian culture. We learned so much from him, laughed a lot, and enjoyed singing with him between stops. Not to mention dancing to the drums. And the food was fantastic on both tours!! Overall execution of the tours was flawless. The guides were unbelievably good! We appreciate the excellent service. Five stars to Your Tour Brazil ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A must do in Salvador! - This was the highlight of my tours in Salvador! Wagner the guide has a deep social and anthropological knowledge of both Salvador and the places of this tour and the conversation was super interesting. This tour lets you see unforgettable places and more importantly gives you experiences of authenticity that complement and go beyond the other tours!

Wonderful experience - What an experience! We all enjoyed our tour. We have learned a lot about the Afro history that shapes the city of Salvador. Our tour guide, Vagner, was very knowledgeable and was easy to understand. We were picked up from our hotel on time. I highly recommend it.
