Best Private Guide Ever!!! - We had a very wonderful guide who picked us up and dropped us off. Ver knowledgeable and knows everyone and everything. Very meaningful for me.

Best tour in all of Brazil - Josuel provided us an incredible history and tour of Salvador. His knowledge of the African history within Bahia and Brazil provided us an important context to our trip throughout the country. He was open to answering all questions - both relevant and not. His friendliness and helpfulness leading up to our tour made our stay in Salvador even better. Highly recommended and important tour- try to request Josuel if you can.

An Amazing and Insightful Day Trip! - This insightful tour of Salvador, Bahia highlighted its unique Black Diaspora cultures. What made the tour special was the great care by guide Josuel, who shared his encyclopedic knowledge of Salvador history, culture, and local life. Included were visits to varied places which figured prominently in the local development of Salvador and in the development of Brazil writ large. Bravo!

JT's review - The Historical African-Oriented City Tour is a must! I was able to explore different neighborhoods, learn about deities and local politics, and even visit spots where Michael Jackson filmed. The open-air market was filled with diverse food choices - try the roasted cashews!!! What stood out most was the friendly vibe from the guide—he made history fun. If you want a journey blending history, culture, and a bit of pop culture, this tour is a must-do. Get ready to be entertained and enlightened by the vibrant spirit of the city!

Josuel in Salvador - What a great experience with Josuel! He shared remarkable historical insights with us in an enthusiastic and engaging way! He was so generous with his time!

Comprehensive historical,religious,political and culinary tour of Bahia! - Josuel We were so fortunate to have Josuel from Olefemi Tours accompany us on our trip in Bahia. His presence, warmth and knowledge, added so much to our experience. He perfectly accommodated our needs and exceeded our expectations at every turn. We felt so taken care of: he smoothly handled all our accommodations, transportation and went over and beyond to give us an extraordinary experience in Salvador and Cachoeira and set up our boat rides to and from Itaparica and Morro de Sao Paulo. During our 16 day stay, we acquired a great context and understanding of Bahia’s history, culture, politics and religions. We highly recommend his service to anyone traveling in Bahia!

Amazing Tour - Don’t Miss It - We really enjoyed our time with Andres. Andres is very knowledgeable about African Brazilian history, traditions, art and culture and was very eager to share his knowledge with us. We visited the Church of Our Lady of the Black People, The Afro Brasileiro Museum, the Sao Francisco Church, the Pelourinho District and many other sights. We felt very safe as Andres seemed to know everyone in the areas we visited and everyone seemed to love and respect him. Andres was very flexible and patient while I shopped and assisted me in selecting an authentic Bahia souvenir. The included lunch was very good. We also attended the Bahia by Night Dinner and Folkloric Show and the Culinary Traditions Tour with OLAFEMI Tours. All three experiences were excellent and I highly recommend all three.

Wonderful worthwhile tour - Andres was very knowledgeable and an excellent tour guide- he seemed to know everyone in Salvador! He brought the stories and the things we saw to life through his vivid descriptions. Great tour guide!

Loved it - Fantastic! We’ve already recommended this tour to friends. Josuel gave us such a great insight into Salvador and kept our two kids engaged as well.
