Facundo was very friendly in all the interactions we had, offering very good advice along the way to be able to enjoy my stay in Salvador to the fullest.
The visit with Facundo was very much worth it. He is not the typical guide who describes what you are already seeing or who speaks as if the speech were recorded. He is a heritage interpreter who connects with you and ensures that you perfectly understand the life and history of Salvador. You will not only see churches, squares, and very curious corners, you will understand what is behind every stone. The unique Bahian history is worth being told in that way.
Excellent guide. Facundo was very specific about dates, names, and places. Each question was answered clearly and precisely. We also received various suggestions for places to visit, eat, walk around, etc. Without a doubt, it was worth it!!!!
Hello, we did the tour with Facundo. Phenomenal. It was fun, very instructive, and interesting. He knows what he is talking about, and how to manage a group. In summary, highly recommended.
