Awesome city tour with the professor of fun! - Wilson was the best guide! He was super smart, friendly, considerate and spoke fantastic English. Mi husband and I got to see all the sights that Salvador has to offer along with information Wilson gave us about the history, culture and people of this interesting place. He extended and adjusted our tour to end with and include showing us a perfect restaurant in a locals only area where we could see the sunset. I highly recommend this tour!

A beautiful day! - We chose whatever we wanted because it was a tour for us alone. We even got to stop and have a mango smoothie and eat a traditional lunch. We enjoyed our beautiful day!

City with beach, sun and lots of history - The city of Salvador is a city with history. It was the first capital of Brazil and is the place in Brazil where one can perceive African influence.

"Travel is the cure for everything. - What a fascinating place, I recommend this land called Salvador, so that everyone can know, good, and sacred land, I intend to do again, here in Rio de Janeiro, it is very boring, violet, and graceless.

Bahia’s History Brought to Life By Wilson - Wilson Badaro was the consummate guide and historian for our tour, balancing the needs of an anthropologist and two teenage boys. We enjoyed seeing and learning of the history of Bahia from the lighthouse at the Bay of Saints to the sounds of Olodum to the square of Jorge Amado where Michael Jaxson performed to showcase the inequities in human rights. We learned of the churches that encircle the city and tell of its history from the Portuguese to the Dutch to the Chinese. We enjoyed an in-depth look at the Church of St Francis. From the Portuguese titles and their meditative lessons to the golden carvings to the black saints, Wilson weaves history into the details and helped create new perspectives and understanding. We have traveled the world and participated in many guided tours from Ecuador to Turkey to South Africa. Wilson and Your Tour is simply the best. He is a skilled historian, professor, host and student. While we were walking the streets folks came up to him asking for his number. He is a national treasure. We hope to meet him again someday! But perhaps today is your lucky day.
