Adriano Made Our Tour Unforgettable
Adriano was absolutely exceptional! His knowledge was outstanding, and his explanations were not only clear but truly engaging. He was incredibly friendly, patient, and professional, making the entire tour a fantastic experience.
Even after the tour ended, he generously answered so many questions—nothing was left unanswered. He was extremely helpful, and his English was impeccable. Everyone in our group was delighted with him.
We learned so much and received amazing tips along the way. Adriano clearly loves what he does, and it shows. Keep up the fantastic work, Adriano—thank you so much!

Dedicated guide who shares all your knowledge
Sydney was a very attentive guide. His tour focuses on the Brazilian history of the Pelourinho region and our country. It always presents the region with a perspective of reflection about what common sense tells us. And that all with lightness and humor. Get rich off the walk. It's about 2 hours, but even in the sun, they fly by. They are centuries of the history of our first capital shown in the streets of Salvador. The group had a little more than 10 people, great size.

Great experience
A vibrant city with a rich Afro-Brazilian culture. The tour covers colorful neighborhoods and lively music scenes. While interesting, some areas felt too touristy.

Extremely safe, educational and fun tour
Sidnei waited for me at Cinema Glauber Rocha always responding quickly and being very solicitory and kind.
The tour passes through the historic center of Salvador and in addition to being enriching brings facts from the time with an immersive methodology essential for the experience. Well safe, I didn't have any concerns at any time
