5.00From the first contact, Carlos was very attentive and proactive to help us in our plan. We were a group of 12 and we wanted to do a hike through the historic center of Salvador, adjusted to two hours. Carlos gave us the necessary directions, throughout the tour he was polite and participatory, and showed at every moment that he knows very well the history of Brazil and Bahia and the places we visited and manages to transmit that knowledge in a very pleasant way.
A very enjoyable walking tour

5.00Carlos was very informative, composed, and prepared. My friends and I only speak English and Carlos didn’t miss a beat sharing the history of the area while also taking up to shops and landmarks to meet the locals. He even had food recommendations, which were great!
