Best guide! Fantastic experience, I really got to understand and see Salvador and some of the history in a short amount of time. Thank you!
Excellent tour in Salvador. I saw most of the city and got vert interesting explanations. I spoke Portuguese but my guide was very fluent in English as well.
The boys who accompanied us were very polite, kind and helpful. Our transportation was quite comfortable, cleanliness impeccable. Guide Vagner demonstrated a lot of knowledge and made a great script. Definitely was the difference of the trip. I recommend knowing Salvador from this perspective.
We had a fabulous tour around Salvador, learning about its rich culture and visiting some of the most beautiful locations. Thank you Vincente for being a wonderful, knowledgeable and fun guide. We had a great time!
We had an incredible experience exploring Salvador with Jose Quiroiz, our tour guide. He was professional, friendly, and extremely knowledgeable. We gained a much deeper appreciation for Salvador’s rich Afro-Brazilian heritage, vibrant neighborhoods, and unique atmosphere. We would highly recommend this guide to anyone looking for an authentic and memorable experience.
Monia was an absolutely phenomenal tour guide in Salvador. From the very beginning, she made the city come alive in a way that was both deeply informative and emotionally moving. She guided us through historic neighborhoods and sacred sites while beautifully weaving together the history of Brazil, the African influence, and the cultural soul of Salvador. Her storytelling was rich, thoughtful, and powerful—you could feel how much love and pride she has for her city and its heritage. What made this tour truly special was how she helped us feel Salvador, not just see it. By the end of the day, we didn’t just understand the history—we fell in love with the city itself. The music, the spirituality, the resilience, the beauty—Monia honored all of it with grace and intelligence. If you want more than a surface-level tour—if you want depth, context, culture, and heart—Monia is the guide you want. This was one of the highlights of our time in Brazil, and we are so grateful for the experience. Highly, highly recommend.
Me and my family are comfortable with the punctuality and responsibility of this Enterprise. Very comfortable, good conversation
Flexible approach and very knowledgeable tour guide. Teenagers engaged with the information and we didn’t feel hurried
The booking of Your Tour was extremely easy and professional. Marco was lovely to talk with and worked with me to curate a one-of-a-kind experience, considering both my interests and time constraints. Payment was also very easy and seamless as well. Wilson was our tour guide and he is impeccable. His knowledge of Salvador’s history, culture, and customs is impressive and likely unmatched. He was kind, professional and funny, adding a unique twist to a tour of the city. Our driver, Heraldo, was safe, reliable and timely. Not only would I recommend this company and guide to anyone visiting Salvador, I look forward to booking them again when I return to the city.
