This full-day adventure will allow you to enjoy both the magnificent panoramic views Salvador offers, as well as discover its rich history, extraordinary architecture, and dynamic culture, result of the blend of Portuguese, African and Indigenous people. We will see the city from different angles, discovering the Lower City, with its bucolic interior atmosphere, around the calm waters of the All Saints Bay, and continuing to the tip of the Itapagipe Peninsula, the extreme west part of Salvador, and then the Upper City with its Historic Center – the cradle of our city’s history.

Excellent option if you wanna quickly get panoramic information also some detailed amazing knowledges about Salvador. Carlos knows the city very well and has a deep connection with the city. He speaks English excellently. The car I took was very well maintained and Carlos was very punctual. The restaurant he recommended was very very good and it turned out to be on my wishlist for quite a while before I traveled. Highly recommend this tour.

Wir waren in Summe sehr positiv von unserer Erfahrung überrascht. Nach einer Rundreise über Rio, Iguazzu, Manaus (Amazonas Gebiet) waren wir uns nicht sicher ob wir Salvador besichtigen sollten. Es war in allen Dimensionen eine tolle Erfahrung. Salvador hat kulturell sehr viel zu bieten mit seinen Forts, Plätzen, Kirchen, etc.. Ganz besonders begeistert waren wir allerdings von unserem Reiseleiter Carlos Barbosa. Er ist sehr freundlich, sehr kompetent und spricht ausgezeichnetes Englisch (was auf unserer Reise eine Seltenheit war). Er hat sehr viel Wissen und Details vermittelt und die Reise abwechslungsreich gestaltet mit ein paar Insidertips (z.B. einer Eisdiele, Gastronomie Museum, Künstlerausstellung). In Summe war unsere ganze Gruppe von 7 Personen begeistert, von denen einige sonst eher schwer zu beeindrucken sind.

Had an amazing tour with Carlos. He is very knowledgeable of the history and culture of Salvador. I usually do not do tours, however I am very glad I did because I learned so much more than I would have without his guidance. His service is also great! He arrived on time. I was picked up in a very nice, clean, and newer model car. He spoke perfect english so it was easy to understand and converse with him. It was a private tour, so the experience felt very private. I highly recommend!
