Once the first capital of the country and home to Caramuru and Paraguaçu, it brims with fascinating surprises at every turn. Experience a journey that unveils major landmarks of the venerable São Salvador, such as the Farol da Barra and Pelourinho, housing one of the most extensive high-relief Portuguese-inspired urban complexes.

Creating memories - All very beautiful!!! The perfect guide! Excellent driver and bus. The city is clean and the places we visited will remain forever in memory. A pity only the difficulty of diverting the walkers who are often inopportune.

Few information - It took place on a Monday, when we arrived in Bahia we found that the churches were closed that day. We should inform you about this circumstance when hiring it.
