          Excellent tour!
          The Tour guy was very good and explained a lot about the places we went to. There was miscommunication about the time, but she made up for it by spending extra time with us. We highly recommend her.

          Glad I booked
          This is a very safe tour. I enjoyed having Vagner as my tour guide. He is very professional and knowledgeable in Candomble practices and history. I'm so glad I booked!

          Great Guide, But Limited Access: Sunday Tour Challenges
          I booked a tour for my clients, and they mentioned that the guide was great. However, since it was a Sunday tour, most of the places were closed.

          Additional Requirements and Taxes
          We went as a group and did not know that we needed passports and had to pay taxes once we arrived. Keep this in mind when heading to Morro de Sao Paulo.

          Salvador Half Day Tour
          We had a brilliant time in Salvador. Our guide Vagner is brilliant, he spoke amazing English, covered all the sites and more. He was very patient and considerate. We would highly recommend.

          Not worth it
          Although our guide was very nice, we were underwhelmed with the content and information. It felt more like a babysitting tour for people who are afraid to go out on their own at night. We didn’t get a lot of information regarding the history of the area. Mainly wandered round and listened to drums. The church was packed with tourists and so not an edifying spectacle. People pushing to take videos of other people worshipping is not really my idea of a good time. Guide was also pushy about getting a commission off a jewellery shop I went into on my own. I think there are probably better value tours to chose.

          Great experience!
          The experience was great! We learned about the history of capoeira, played some instruments and practiced some capoeira moves. Aloan, the instructor, was super nice.

          Amazing City Tour with Sergio in Salvador!
          We had the absolute pleasure of experiencing a city tour with Sergio in Salvador, and it was simply wonderful! Sergio is not only incredibly friendly and kind but also highly knowledgeable and informative. He guided us through the vibrant history and culture of this fascinating city with great passion and expertise. Everything was perfectly organized, communication was seamless, and Sergio answered all our questions with patience and enthusiasm. He provided us with unique insights into Salvador’s hidden gems and made sure we felt comfortable and safe throughout the tour. We highly recommend Sergio – a tour with him is an absolute highlight and will truly enrich your visit to Salvador! Thank you for this unforgettable experience!

          Not the best experience.
          Poor communication from the business owner about where the pickup would be when I asked to confirm, resulting in missing the tour. No response to my messages asking for clarity and then I received an email asking me to rate the tour as if it had been completed already. No one called my phone to announce that the driver had arrived to my address. I asked if I could arrange my own transportation to meet at the tour starting point since I was only a few minutes behind. They asked for $150 more in order for me to do that or I could not attend. There is a refusal to offer even a partial refund and now I will have to get my refund via the bank.

          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!

          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.

          Brilliant experience!
          This was a brilliant experience! Our guide Nilsen was phenomenally knowledgeable about Afro-Brazilian history, and the class itself was superb fun, and completely absorbing. We worked our way through various rhythms including Samba Rio, Samba Bahia and Samba Reggae on 2 different types of drum with teacher Macambira. The 3 hour duration seems to include collection & drop off - the class itself was 90 (marvellous) minutes and took place in Pelhourino. Very highly recommended!

          Must-do tour for newcomers to Salvador to get your bearings and see it all in one day.
          I had the most incredible tour with Wandelay. He was attentive, extremely knowledgeable about Brazilian and Salvadorian history, and walked me through the backstory of every point of the tour in great detail. I had a wonderful time because of him and felt I saw every piece of Salvador. Also the transportation and communication were seamless.
