Lucky if you get Wilson as your tour guide :) - This was by far the best tour guide we have had in our travels. Wilson is extremely knowledgeable, patient, understanding and kind. He is high-spirited and certainly brightened up our day. We learned so much! Our driver, Fabio was the perfect compliment! Lunch at Santa Cruz was amazing. Delicious food made with all natural ingredients, a beautiful view and fantastic service. Would definitely recommend this to anyone who is up to have a lovely day and learn interesting historical facts. Not to mention it is very difficult to get a tour in any other language that is not Portuguese, and Wilson speaks English and Spanish perfectly. Thank you guys for an awesome day in Salvador!

Experience the region outside of Salvador! - It was great to out to see the countryside and historic towns of Cachoeira and Santo Amaro. Our guide Misael was very knowledgeable on many topics so we had good conversations. Our driver was excellent too! Lunch at the fazenda, a walk through a market, and the cigar factory visit were highlights.

Marcos KNOWS - I'm really glad I took this day trip from Salvador to the Recôncavo area, which gave our small group (3 people) a rare insight into the history and culture of Brazil, and the conflicted mix of races, religions, classes that still informs its society. Marcos, our brilliant guide, was fluent in English and, since he grew up in the Pelourinho (back when it was not a recommendable place ...) and part of his family is from the Recôncavo, was able to talk from his own experience and offer a wealth of first-hand information that we would otherwise have missed. But this pleasant tour is not "only" about culture and history: just to mention one thing, you can expect a delicious meal in an elegant fazenda overlooking San Féliz and Cachoeira!
