Great Tour! - Josuel was an amazing tour guide and showed us some amazing sights which we wouldn’t have seen otherwise! He answered all of our questions amazingly and told us interesting stories from a local perspective. He was very kind and seemed to have friends everywhere we went! We all felt safe in his hands and would 10/10 recommend him!

Amazing deep dive into Afro-Brazilian history and culture with a kind expert. - Had an amazing time learning about candomblé and Afro-Brazilian history. Tour took the entire day, which was well worth the time for a deep dive into Salvador. Tour group was just the three of my friends, so we had the opportunity to have a deeply personal and interactive tour. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to learn about all things Salvador.

Salvador seen through an immersion in the history of the Afro-Brazilian religion - A friend of mine and I did the tour with Aline, and we were fully satisfied. It was an enriching and very interesting experience. Aline is very good, prepared, patient and smiling. We recommend this tour to all those who want to learn about the Afro-Brazilian religion and specifically how this has contributed to the formation and development of the city of Salvador

We thought it would be good... - ...and it certainly was.
Expect to have a personalised experience with
Olafemi Tours. Attention to detail, punctuality and
warmth are in abundance with Josuel and his team
(obrigada).
Salvador life and culture is unlocked with their
intimate, authentic knowledge and experience of
Brazilian life. In 7 days with Olafemi Tours, as well as being brought closer to
understanding the importance of cantomblé in spiritual life,
we also covered historical a city walking tour, swam at a north coast beach,
visited key museums, shopped(!), ate national dishes,
recreated a favourite meal, visited two islands in the bay while
a talented band drew audience into the songs ... throughout
we had wonderful warm southern hemisphere weather to
boost our flagging vitamin D levels.
So much more can be said- prepare to be charmed:
gbadun iriri naa (enjoy the experience).
