About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Domonique S0 contributionsNot 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.Written 27 November 2024
- kmichonski0 contributionsAwesome 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!Written 24 November 2024
- Dainius670 contributionsGood insight into Salvador historyThe 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.Written 20 November 2024
- Nomad419620577330 contributionsBrilliant 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!Written 17 November 2024
- cherchelarose0 contributionsMust-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.Written 26 October 2024
- marcdT6497BP0 contributionsAmazing ExperienceVincente was amazing, the tour was so enriching. A very unique and beautiful experience, you can’t come to Salvador and not do this.Written 11 October 2024
- Relax128523875320 contributionsWell worth it.Had Nilson (or Ni) as a guide. Extremely passionate about his city of Salvador. Can speak multiple languages, has the info about almost everything you could ask about in the tour. A great cameraman also. He showed me around the city. We walked to the beaches and some important landmarks. He explained the history and the context for pretty much everything we came across. I think my favorite part of the tour was going to open air market. It was quite an experience for the senses. It was a great tour especially since I had no knowledge of Salvador before coming to Brazil. Ni gave me tons of great info that a lot of people won’t have. He put in the time and research to know everything you could want to know during the tour. Please book with this company. And hopefully you have a great experience as I did.Written 27 September 2024
- Navigator516000543350 contributionsOne great tourThis tour is a must if you want to learn about the culture. Vanger really knew the history and explained it in terms the you could absorb it easily. Just be prepared to really see lower city. He will immerse you in the culture. And for an added surprise we were invited in to the percussion school where the best percussionist have trained. I really enjoyed the market there was a lot to see, and the people were fanstatiic. I highly recommend this tour!!!!Written 17 September 2024
- Jerone_Vessels0 contributionsExceptional guides, great cultural experiencesThe experiences delivered by Your Tour Brazil were great. In the planning process, Marcos was clear with the tour options and details as well as pricing. He also arranged airport transfers, which were timely and convenient. Ariana is a great driver!! The tours were very informative and engaging. André was very informative and organized, and really knowledgeable with the Cultural Show and Dinner experience. He is a very engaging person and shared his experiences as a native of Salvador. He also introduced us to local community leaders. We could spend so much more time with him. Wilson was exceptional! Being a historian, he is of the most informative guides we have worked with. Being a great storyteller, we gained great insight into the origins of Salvador and African-Brazilian culture. We learned so much from him, laughed a lot, and enjoyed singing with him between stops. Not to mention dancing to the drums. And the food was fantastic on both tours!! Overall execution of the tours was flawless. The guides were unbelievably good! We appreciate the excellent service. Five stars to Your Tour Brazil ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Written 17 September 2024

- 997tracyt0 contributionsHighly recommend the four-hour tour!Monia was an amazing tour guide - very knowledgeable, friendly, and adapted the tour to suit our needs.

- jaredg5720 contributionsImmersive Salvador Tour: A Journey Through African and Black HeritageHere is what you get with this: A tour of Salvador that centers on African/Black experience, history, and culture, conducted by a team of passionate locals who keep it both informative and engaging. Highly recommended. Our tour guide, Nilson, was great — he mixed anecdotes, historical background, observation, and humor with, making the experience fun and fulfilling. It is long, so come prepared with what you need, but the air-conditioned car is never far away.Written 31 July 2024
- Lena S0 contributionsGreat way to visit a Quilombo in BahiaThis was a great experience visiting Santo Amaro and the Quilombo de Kaonge! We briefly passed through the town of Santo Amaro and learned about different foods and other things as we walked through the market and one of the churches. The guide, Milla, was amazing and really helped us learn about the place we were visiting. Once in the Quilombo, we learned about a few different ancestral practices before ending the day with a nice lunch. Overall, I really enjoyed this tour and I would highly recommend it!Written 26 July 2024
- Charlotte C0 contributionsWonderful insight into Salvador, its people, and its history. Highly recommend.I cannot recommend this tour enough! It is a great perspective of the city sights & chance to learn a very crucial part of its history. The dedicated driver included in the tour is a real asset, it allows you to see so much. Vagner my guide was amazing, his knowledge on these topic is huge with many interesting little facts that make the experience that much more enriching! The tour answered many questions I had about Afro-Brasil faith and atrocities which they have been subject to. It has allowed me to comprehend more than I could have seeing these sights on my own, especially being an English speaker and only knowing a little Portuguese. Thank you again to Vagner for teaching me so much, I will never see the world the same again!Written 11 July 2024
- annassse0 contributionsA must do in Salvador!This was the highlight of my tours in Salvador! Wagner the guide has a deep social and anthropological knowledge of both Salvador and the places of this tour and the conversation was super interesting. This tour lets you see unforgettable places and more importantly gives you experiences of authenticity that complement and go beyond the other tours!Written 18 June 2024

Very insightful show and lovely food at Cuco. However, I think we were overcharged, it’s cheaper to buy the ticket directly from the theatre and go to the restaurant yourself. Overall, it was a great experience :)

The pre-drink venue was interesting (busy and good cachaca shot with vanilla). The show was just excellent...good round-up of Afro-Brazilian resistance and experience...really enjoyed it. The dinner was at a fabulous venue but the meal choices weren't the best that they offer (I'd eaten there before and chosen a Bahian dish which was amazing). The guide was fantastic...full of life and stories and brought the whole experience alive!!!

I booked this show and dinner for my family (7 people) months ago for Dec 24, 2022 through TripAdvisor. One day before the event (Dec 23), a person by the name of Marcos Reis reached out to me through WhatsApp to let me know that the event was cancelled because of the religious holiday. Clearly Marcos / Your Tour Brazil knew a year in advance that Xmas Eve is on the 24th. That they offered this event on that day nonetheless, and waited until the last minute to let me know it was cancelled is deeply unprofessional and inconsiderate. I had planned this to be a special evening for the family, and at the last minute I had to scramble to come up with an alternative activity. Instead of taking ownership of the screw up, Marcos blamed "the government" for having declared a last minute holiday that day. Clearly he was lying, and very poorly at that. Shame on him / his company for ruining our Xmas Eve celebration. He does not deserve to sell his experience through TripAdvisor / Viator. He should be dropped and face consequences for his lack of care.

Hello good day,
Unfortunately we do not agree with your position, the agency had already sent you a message through the platform where your reservation was made, however you did not receive it because you did not access your email and text message, then 48 hours before the day of the tour, when we went informed by the theater about the change of time and day, it was immediately communicated. And yes, you had the next day to do the tour, however in a rude and unacceptable way you spoke and treated our team badly and did not accept the change. So it was clear that you preferred to cancel and get your money back 100%. Attention, you stayed in the city for more than 3 days and did not accept to modify and understand.
