Excellent Tour with Fernando Bingre - This tour was exactly what I was looking for. It covered a lot of the major sights in about 4 hours. The first 1.5 hours or so was done in a van so that we could see some of the sights outside of the old town area. We then covered the rest of the sights on foot. Our tour guide, Fernando Bingre, was excellent. He speaks great English and did a great job of explaining the different sights as well as the history of Brazil and Salvador. Overall the tour was top notch and a great use of time. I highly recommend the tour and Fernando.

Holidays - I was in town for business and had the pleasure of traveling with Wagner. I especially found that he was extremely well informed about the places we visited and would recommend it to anyone. The area is very interesting and worth a visit!

Great half day in a special city - The tour company was fast responding to advance questions and requests to modify the standard tour. Meeting up with the guide and driver at the port was smooth. My spouse was supposed to be coming but was ill so I asked about changing plans to my likes. Monia is a seasoned professional guide and quickly adapted for which I was grateful. She has abundant knowledge and ongoing passion about this area. Despite leading tours for 25 years, she never sounded like she was bored or reading from a script. Monia and the driver made a good team. We saw everything I wanted and some bonus things. Monia brought history to life while sharing about life as it is now. Her passion was a delight and caught me up too, especially at the Carnival museum. Monia patiently answered my dozens of questions and facilitated transactions (like buying popcorn and Bonfim ribbons!) while being very thoughtful about my comfort and stamina in the heat. The company and Monia earned my full star rating.

Excellent tour! - The Tour guy was very good and explained a lot about the places we went to. There was miscommunication about the time, but she made up for it by spending extra time with us. We highly recommend her.

Smile, you are in Bahia! - Our guide Charles Modesto was sensational. Very attentive, friendly, energy up there, gave us various tips on the possible “strikes” that would try to apply us, took us to places not so well known besides the tourist points in the neighborhood of Ribeira, took us to several shops more in mind, had a lot of patience and always very asking with the doubts about the tourist explanations. The agency was sensational in supporting us with all the doubts and Ingrid also supported the whole process. We had a great day! I highly recommend.

Nice colorful city - Tour of the upper town with a very friendly guide. Pretty colors, a little history, 3h round trip with stoppers on the way, for 3h maximum visit. We still have the impression that we went mostly from shop to shop (souvenirs, paintings (the Brazilian Picasso), magnets...) by flying over the rest. We had removed our chains but no bracelets or rings and we never felt insecure
