Great tour, The guide we had Marcos was very knowledgeable and gave us just the right amount of time to see the places we visited at each stop. We did the 6-hour tour and it was definitely enough time to see the key landmarks if you are just there for a weekend getaway! I would book again!

I always book for a guide, to get to know more of the people, culture and easy access around. As usual, always amaze with the beauty of the place and how rich the culture of Salvador! I am amazed at pelourinho! The interior of San Francisco church, the most beautiful I had seen so far! Patrik our guide, is so friendly and make sure my brother and I are comfortable and safe always. Another found friend in Salvador!

We really enjoyed our tour of Salvador. The guide and driver were waiting for us and were knowledgeable about the area. It helped to have a guide/driver get us around the parade which was happening for Brazilian Independence Day. We saw the tour in 4 hours without feeling rushed. What a lovely city! It was the first time I booked through Get Your Guide and it was a very good experience, especially since we booked at 4pm for an 8am tour the next day - that was impressive!
