"Adriano was extremely knowledgeable and kind!! You could tell he was very passionate about the history of Salvador and even shared details on harder topics to bring light to the city's past. Overall a great tour and a great introduction to the Pelourinho area!! Adriano gave a lot of recommendations on food and bar spots to check out nearby which was awesome. Thanks so much, definitely a must for anyone going to Salvador de Bahia."
"Adriano was able to give us a good overview of Brasilien and Salvador history, culture and cuisine during our discovery walk through Pelourinho. He is very knowledgeable, open to questions and he gave us plenty of ideas about how to explore more of the city after the walk. I enjoyed this very much."
"It was amazing. The tour guide is so nice, good energy and knowledgeable. It was not boring as most of the tours for me. He is really good"
"Very friendly and polite guide. He speaks very good English and has a fun way to explain the history behind the monuments we cross during the walking tour."
"Amazing tour! We learned so much about Bahia and its incredible people and culture from our guide. He really took care of us and went out of his way to spend extra time to point out everything of interest. We highly recommend him as he is extremely knowledgeable, patient and personable."
"Adriano is an excellent guide, cordial while remaining professional, patient, he knows the history of the city well. I absolutely recommend!!"
"This was one of the best tours I have been on from beginning to end. The guide was punctual, full of information and had an answer to all questions, very friendly too!! The tour was a lot of fun and very factual, I would recommend to anyone visiting Salvador."
"Our guide was Facundo and took us to tour the Pelourinho accompanying the story of Salvador, and how life in the area developed. Facundo is very nice and helped us a lot, we are an older couple and the possibility of doing the tour alone with him allowed us to do it to our time and possibilities. We very much appreciate your work and recommend it, you will not regret it!!"
"The tour very good and facundo a genius explained in detail everything did not take more to the local that is what one seeks when he does a tour of this type so do not hesitate to do it you learn much"
"Excellent the guide, the chosen places and the history about them. Otherwise I would not have visited them. Recommend!"
"Fantastic tour with Facundo, very interesting and complete tour with accurate historical facts and anecdotes about each place . Super recommendable"

"I had such a wonderful experience with David as my tour guide! I booked last minute and accidentally booked the tour in Spanish, but David accommodated me and gave the tour in English. I learned so much about the neighborhood and the history of Salvador from him. He also took lots of pictures of me at all the sights. I definitely recommend this tour!"

"Excellent experience, highly recommended. You visit the most important places in a relaxed and productive walk because the guide places you in the historical time and characteristics of each construction. He also gave us recommendations on places to eat, artistic shows to attend, and how to get around after the tour."
