Highly recommend - Gabriela was prompt and friendly upon pickup. She's very knowledgeable and tailors the tour to things you're more or less interested in. We felt very safe with her and it's clear she knows everyone around town. The tour gave us a great lay of the land and we felt we hit all the famous spots we wanted to see. She even answered some follow up questions we had which was very helpful in planning our remaining time. I would highly recommend Gabriela for any tour.

Will Return Again! - Gabriela is such a gem! She is very personable,funny, and knowledgeable about the African history in Brazil. I only had time to tour one day due to my short time frame but wished I'd booked a 3 day tour with her so we could explore Salvador and go deeper into the African history!! I will definitely contact her again and I will definitely return to Salvador de Bahia again!!

Great way to learn about this impressive city - We had a delightful time with Gabriella on our first day in the city. Gabriella is incredibly knowledgable and welcoming. We learnt about the history of the city with lots of interseting facts about the churches, buildings and people. She was also very accomodating of our plans and was happy to take a quick detour for us. Highly recommend.

Joy in Salvador - Carnival in Salvador is a mix of colors, flavors and a lot of human and cultural diversity. Wherever you go, you see a little bit of Brazil on every corner. And at Carnival it couldn't be any different. A mix of axé, samba, Africanity and Brazilianness wherever you look. Approved

Knowledgeable Guide Who Loves the City - Gabriela was an amazing tour guide. It was clear from the beginning that we would experience a unique type of tour. Not only was she knowledgeable about the city and had answers to all our questions, her love for the city and the people were evident. She showed us all the city had to offer, the good, the bad, and the beautiful.
