Testimonials
Great trip; our guide, Marcos, was highly informative and gave us exactly enough time to view the sites we saw at each stop. We took the 6-hour trip, which was plenty of time to visit the main attractions if you’re only there for a weekend! I would definitely book again!

I always book a tour to learn more about the people, culture, and easy access in the area. As always, I am astounded by the beauty of the location and the depth of Salvador’s culture! Pelourinho astounds me! The interior of the San Francisco church was the most gorgeous I’d ever seen! Patrik, our guide, is always kind and ensures that my brother and I are comfortable and secure. Salvador has made another new friend!
