The black soul of Brazil... - Very interesting experience in African Brazil, where you can get an idea of what the real rural life of Brazilians and the colonial past of this people is like. My guide, Dirk was fantastic, kind, helpful and great connoisseur of the history of his country!!

You'll be in good hands, go for it! - The tour was really well organized, with a short drive. Our guide Vincent was very kind, he spoke perfect French and had a lot of historical knowledge, the tour was exciting, we saw and learned a lot in one afternoon. Salvador is really a pretty city, I recommend this tour. Thank you!

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.

Saw all of Salvador in one day. Incredible visit! - * my guide Wanderlay knew a lot about world and Brazilian history, so it was a treat to hear him talk about his beloved Salvador all day. Great communication, pickup/ transportation in air conditioning. Felt safe and attended to all day, also saw the entirety of Salvador in 8 hours (all the sublime churches, two different markets, walked old Pelourinho and had a delicious lunch) so really appreciate Wanderlay’s itinerary and seamless coordination with the driver. Highly highly recommend to those curious about the city and entire region of Bahia.

Sensational Salvador - memories you will never forget. - I had the best experience in enjoying a private tour with Vagner for a full day. Not only did we see the highlights of the city, including the historic quarter of course, but what I valued the most was the sharing of insights into the history and culture of Salvador, Bahia and Brazil more generally. Vagner's knowledge about his home country and Salvador Bahia more specifically is extensive. It is obvious that this passion for the subject comes from something far deeper than what his employment would require - yet that is what resonates the most with me. I don't think I am alone. Thank you Vagner for sharing your knowledge. I valued our conversation immensely. I learnt so much in just a day. Oh, and yes I really did enjoy the chicken gizzard and Caipirinha!

Amazing experience - I completed a tour of Salvador with Your and it was sensational. Special thanks to the guide Ronaldinho. What an experience! The guide knows a lot about the history of Bahia and explains it to you in a really cool way. He took incredible photos of us, very patient. He gave us several tips. This tour was simply AMAZING. It was worth every penny. Thank you, Your. And, thank you Ronaldinho! You are a distinguished professional. Come to Salvador, I'm in love!!!!!

The guide did his best... - The guide did his best but I was the only English speaker out of 19 people in the group - I didn’t get all the info I’d like to get - also, we toured this convent that I had no real interest in - overall, an OK tour but it would be better if the tour was designated for language specific groups only - it’s way too overwhelming for the guide to have to explain everything in 2 different languages - one language group will miss out on some info
