A must-see and unforgettable experience in Salvador de Bahia - Absolute punctuality to pick us up at the hotel. The tour was very complete and the guide, Alejandra, gave us her deep knowledge of the city and its history, it is clear that she has passion for her work. Alexandra had all the answers to our questions, and gave us the keys to capture the culture and people of Bahia, always cheerful, supportive and smiling. Highly recommended, it was definitely the best thing we did the whole trip. Smile você es na Bahia.

Good experience and fully in Spanish - Viviana met us punctually at the airport and we were taken in a comfortable van to the hotel to the two of us alone!! Very good service, then we took an excursion to San Salvador, the guide well, until the guide Gabriel took us to a restaurant to get killed with the price, a tourist hunter. 230 reais a plate of food and two refreecos, which I had to share with my partner. Except that the bus very comfortable, punctual, and then we were picked up to take to the airport satisfactorily even before the agreed time The only thing that tarnished my 5-star rating was the tourist hunting lunch (colossal in case it's called the restaurant, don't go). Viviana always attentive in the 7 days of stay, thank you!!

Bad experience - The tour guide was very good. The complaint is that the vendors do not speak Spanish and do not make the effort to understand. I booked a tour to Dos Frases and they did not confirm it and I could not make it. In addition, the app with which I pay for a tour made the payment day after day and they did not return my money. Every day claiming, I am back and I still don't have the refund. Unnecessary wear and tear. But worst of all, they are tour operators and their staff speak very little Spanish! They don't provide a good service
