  • A Beautiful Day in Salvador with an Even More Beautiful Soul 🌞

    Keith F,,Aug 7, 2025

    - Review from Viator

    5.00

    From the moment Maria greeted me with her warm “bom dia,” I knew I was in great hands. She’s everything you want in a guide; knowledgeable, kind, funny, and full of positive energy. As we walked through the streets of Pelourinho, she brought the history to life in a way that was both informative and deeply personal. I never once felt rushed or like I was just part of a “tour.” She made the whole day feel like I was exploring with a local friend who truly loves her city. Maria made Salvador unforgettable. I can’t recommend her enough!
