Our guide could not have been better. He took the time to listen to our interests and customized our visit accordingly. His English was great, and he was extremely knowledgable. It was like visiting a town a good friend. We came away with so much information about Bahia. It's a much richer country than we ever imagined. Also, if you're interested in taking time to have lunch, do it! We went to a great restaurant recommended by our guide and had a terrific conversation with him over lunch.

This was a culturally fulfilling experience. I learned quite a bit about Salvador's history and it's ties to the African continent. It is a breathtakingly beautiful place and a must do if you visit Brazil. So rich in African music, foods and culture. I will be back. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and spoke good English.
