Basilica Do Senhor Do Bonfim

The Basilica Church Santuário Senhor Bom Jesus do Bonfim, in Salvador, was built between 1746 and 1754, to house the image of Senhor Bom Jesus do Bonfim, brought from Lisbon, in 1745.
The architecture is in neoclassical style and Rococo façade.
Senhor do Bonfim is an icon of the Bahian faith. The church attracts many devotees, tourists and pilgrims. The famous ribbons of Senhor do Bonfim are made since the beginning of the 19th century and measure the length of the right arm to the chest of the Senhor do Bonfim image.

In neoclassical style architecture, the building is listed by the National Historical and Artistic Heritage Institute (IPHAN).
Elevator Lacerda
Admission not included15 min
The Lacerda Elevator is a symbol of the two-story city called Salvador, one of the most well-known port cards in Bahia. It connects Praça Tomé de Sousa, in Cidade Alta, to Praça Cayru, in the Comércio district.
It was the first elevator in the world to serve public transport and the tallest of its kind, when it opened on December 8, 1873, the day of N.S. da Conceição da Praia.
Dique de Tororo
Pass by
Dique do Tororó is a dam built in the 17th century, in a natural valley, as shown in the illustration by Arnoldus Montanus, from 1671. Initially it was used to protect the city against invasions. From the 19th century, the Dyke began to be grounded for the expansion of the city, considerably reducing its size.
Today it is a well-wooded area for sports and leisure. It has an amphitheater, community centers, pedal boats, restaurants, as well as twelve sculptures of orixás signed by the artist Tati Moreno.
The orixás represented are Iansã, Nanã, Ogum, Oxalá, Xangô, Iemanjá, Oxum and Oxossi. The squirts with the orixás, in addition to the decorative effect, seek to oxygenate the water

ALLTOUR SCAM VIA CIVITATIS
I made the reservation through Civitatis with the company Alltour, we arrived the night before in Salvador and I was informed via WhatsApp that they do not have availability on the DATE THAT WAS AVAILABLE ON THE WEBSITE, offering me another date on which we could not because we already had another reservation. THE ERROR WAS CLEARLY THE PROVIDER'S, WHICH REPORTED IT AS AVAILABLE WHEN IT WAS NOT. Alltour is asking me to contact Civitatis and Civitatis still has not refunded my money, it is a SCAM
Operator response
Hola Sr. Joaquim,
Efectivamente, este tour no opera todos los días y hubo un error en la plataforma de Civitatis, el cual ya solicitamos que se corrija. Reforzaremos el proceso de reembolso con ellos.
Lamentamos las molestias.

Impeccable service!
Excellent service! Edjane arranged a walk in Salvador, our driver's name was Antonio. The combi they made available was for 12 people, with every comfort. We had a beautiful day and became very satisfied. They also made airport-to-hotel transfers.
All flawless. I recommend them.

No Advice
They set up almost two hours picking the tourists in the hotels with cans, and then they put everyone together in a micro bus. It's not worth the price they charge.
Operator response
Olá, agradecemos por compartilhar sua experiência conosco.
Lamentamos sinceramente que a percepção do serviço não tenha atendido às suas expectativas. Gostaríamos de esclarecer que o passeio adquirido foi na modalidade serviço regular, ou seja, compartilhado com outros turistas, o que implica em um tempo maior dedicado aos pickups nos hotéis.
Sempre buscamos otimizar ao máximo a logística, utilizando carros de apoio e organizando as rotas de forma eficiente. A operação do passeio é realizada em um único veículo, dimensionado conforme o número total de reservas do dia, podendo variar entre vans, micro-ônibus ou ônibus, sempre priorizando a segurança e o conforto de todos os passageiros.
Ficamos tristes com sua avaliação negativa e com o fato de que essa característica do serviço não tenha ficado clara no momento da contratação. A partir desse feedback, iremos reforçar com nosso time a importância de explicar detalhadamente as regras do serviço regular, bem como apresentar alternativas de passeios exclusivos ou privativos, para que cada cliente possa escolher a opção que melhor se encaixa em seu perfil e expectativa.
Agradecemos novamente pelo retorno, que é fundamental para aprimorarmos continuamente nossos serviços. Esperamos ter a oportunidade de recebê-lo novamente para proporcionar uma experiência mais alinhada às suas preferências.

History class.
It was a history class. I loved to know Bahia, especially its culture so rich with its African origin. The beautiful churches and the energy of the axé.
Operator response
Que alegria saber que você aproveitou tanto! A Bahia realmente encanta com sua história, sua forte herança africana, igrejas deslumbrantes e a energia única do axé. Esperamos que volte em breve para viver ainda mais dessa cultura tão especial!

Panoramic and historic tour
Some places there was no stop despite being informed
That is. The free time for lunch between the panoramic and historic tour the client does not have
Option to choose. In my case, I had no choice but to have lunch at a self-service
A gas station where the place was crowded
Operator response
Lamentamos sinceramente pela experiência relatada. O nosso objetivo é sempre proporcionar um serviço de qualidade, com paradas nos pontos previstos e boas opções para o momento do almoço.
Vamos verificar o ocorrido junto à equipe responsável para entender por que não houve as paradas informadas e por que não foram oferecidas outras alternativas para o almoço. Esse tipo de situação não condiz com o padrão que buscamos manter.
Agradecemos pelo seu feedback, ele é essencial para que possamos aprimorar nossos serviços.
