Very good experience with Yvan to discover Salvador. He knows the history and many anecdotes about the city very well and will help you discover Bahian culture. We highly recommend it.

We chose Ivan to show us Salvador de Bahia last August, it was a real day of discovery of the culture, people and life of the Ba'atha. Ivan introduced us to the real life of this city and made us discover wonderful and unusual places, it was really a pleasant and unforgettable day Thank you again for this discovery

We sought to discover the city of Salvador off the beaten track, with a francophone and we found what we were looking for with Ivan Bahia. Salvador is a huge city and we have found that it is not easy to move there if you do not know it, and more if you are a little selective of what you want to see like us, it is not always easy to find a guide open to going to things, places, people outside tourist area. With Ivan we found the perfect person. A French-speaking expat, he has lived in Salvador for a very long time and knows the city as if he were born there. So we discovered how the inhabitants of Salvador live, what they do to (survive), their pleasures, their religion (very interesting to visit a candomble community), the great market Saint Joachim (we believed in it at the souk of Marrakech) and many more. If you want to visit Salvador off tour choose Ivan, you will spend an exciting day.
