バイーア・バイツ・サルバドール・フード・ツアー（12＋試食付き）

Manuel took us to some very local historical spots. I've lived in Brasil and know a lot about food but he introduced me to things that I've never tried before.

Excellent and ONLY food tour in Salvador de Bahia! It was a stroke of luck I found this tour as I had been looking for one to explore the many delicious and unique Afro-Brazilian foods of Bahia but there weren’t any. But when I checked Viator last minute, a new food tour had just been posted! I booked the day before and turns out I was their first customer on the first Salvador food tour ever! And what an experience! Gabriel my guide met me at the market where we tasted local snack foods and he explained the history of the ports and products coming into Salvador. Then we rode the famous Lacerda elevator from the bottom town to the top town (walled city) to the city center Pelolourinho. There we ate incredible street food such as the tapioca crepe sandwich with beef and cheese and the infamous Acaraje which is an Afro-Brazilian fried bean cake (think texture of falafel) filled with toppings and eaten like a sandwich. We also had cheese on a stick grilled over fire and tasted some amazing local liquor. Then we made our way down to the famous house where Michael Jackson filmed “They Don’t Care About Us” and sampled some delicious juices. The last part was in an area I had not been before and probably wouldn’t have if it weren’t for Gabriel! We walked there and stopped in two restaurants, one where we sampled delicious fried bar food and then had a real sit down meal for Caruru in a traditional Afro-Brazilian restaurant. Gabriel told the history and cultural significance of everywhere we went. It was a great experience that really made my stay in Salvador amazing. If you are foodie who loves food history like me, I highly, highly recommend this tour!
