Brasil Diaspora Experience - Josuel is an amazing and passionate tour guide who is extremely knowledgeable about the Africa diaspora in Brazil. We sought his service to help plan, coordinate and deliver a three day tour of Salvador for a group of twelve individuals. We specifically asked for places/events/activities that would help us to know more about our ancestors and Josuel delivered.
We toured and studied Pelourinho, attended a candomble service, participated in a Bahian cuisine cooking class and partnered with a local school that focused upon serving and educating children in the community. His attention to detail and desire to maximize our experience meant the world to us. We learned so much in such a short time . He also provided us with great food and shopping recommendations.
His tours are the best !

Fantastic and FUN History Lesson - This was an amazing tour. Joshua picked me up and gave me a guided tour of the city as well as an in depth history lesson of the upper and lower cities. He was able to connect the history of the city with the current reality of Salvador. It was wonderful to spend part of my day learning about the city I was vacationing in.

Great city tour! - We loved our tour with Olafemi Tours!! Vagner was our guide and he had SO MUCH knowledge. Mind you, it is an in depth tour, so be prepared to be going places! The spots were great and it was amazing to hear of the Afro history and experience in not only Salvador, but also Brasil.

Amazing Day Tour! - Joshuel puts his heart and soul into this exciting cultural tour around Historic Salvador! By car and walking, Joshuel knows his history because he lives it! The tour is expertly designed with stops at just the right time, ceramacists, artists, ice cream, coconut water w lime, lunch and a nice cachace at his favorite stop to top it off. We started at 10am and ended at 5pm but we were never bored or tired. We had a great time with our new brother Joshuel!

Comprehensive History and Fun! - Vagner was our guide and he was superb! He met us promptly at the hotel at the designated time. He showed a deep knowledge of the general history and specific African history of Salvador. This was important to us which was one of the reasons we wanted to spend time in Bahia while we visited Brazil. He pointed out the areas of particular note at each stop, and his commentary broadened our knowledge considerably. The lunch of local food that was included in the tour was very good (Vagner even explained the ingredients !) Be prepared for walking uphill on cobblestone streets in the historic center which are manageable. I would highly recommend the tour and make sure to ask for Vagner!
