I researched for a long time to be able to find this tour operator. I only found them with the help of my guide in Recife! It is so hard to find English speaking guides!!!
First, I contacted one of the owner, Vanessa Almeida. She runs the business with her brother Igor. As we were in port only until 3pm, I decided to organize a 4-hour tour. It was their “typical” tour so we could see the “must” attractions. I posted on CC and as it was a good quality/price excursion, we were a group of 50! 2 buses of 25 cruisers with a capacity of 30 and with a bathroom.
Salvador is VERY nice and you will not be disappointed. Both guides (Gabriel and Ariel Veloso) were excellent English speakers. It is difficult to find good English speaking guides in Brazil so be aware!!!! So we were all very happy.
Vanessa was a darling to work with even if she speaks only Portuguese… I collected all monies from the cruisers on the ship so it was easy for payment.
Suggestion: to keep the cost of the excursion as low as possible, form a group through your roll call. This is how we ended up being 2 groups of 25.
I love to give back so it is why I don’t mind not maximizing the size of my groups to 15 (for example). I know if more people are joining the excursion then, more money will end up in the pocket of the tour operator! I have been blessed by being born in Canada so now I must give back.
