Salvador Half Day Tour

Published on Feb, 2025

We had a brilliant time in Salvador. Our guide Vagner is brilliant, he spoke amazing English, covered all the sites and more. He was very patient and considerate. We would highly recommend.

Saw all of Salvador in one day. Incredible visit!

Published on Oct, 2024

* my guide Wanderlay knew a lot about world and Brazilian history, so it was a treat to hear him talk about his beloved Salvador all day. Great communication, pickup/ transportation in air conditioning. Felt safe and attended to all day, also saw the entirety of Salvador in 8 hours (all the sublime churches, two different markets, walked old Pelourinho and had a delicious lunch) so really appreciate Wanderlay’s itinerary and seamless coordination with the driver. Highly highly recommend to those curious about the city and entire region of Bahia.

Sensational Salvador - memories you will never forget.

Published on Apr, 2024

I had the best experience in enjoying a private tour with Vagner for a full day. Not only did we see the highlights of the city, including the historic quarter of course, but what I valued the most was the sharing of insights into the history and culture of Salvador, Bahia and Brazil more generally. Vagner's knowledge about his home country and Salvador Bahia more specifically is extensive. It is obvious that this passion for the subject comes from something far deeper than what his employment would require - yet that is what resonates the most with me. I don't think I am alone. Thank you Vagner for sharing your knowledge. I valued our conversation immensely. I learnt so much in just a day. Oh, and yes I really did enjoy the chicken gizzard and Caipirinha!

Amazing tour.

Published on Jul, 2023

Vagner was amazing. I'm Brazilian but did the tour because of my partner who is Australian and wanted to learn more about the culture and history from Salvador. He LOVED it. It was great, Vagner showed a lot of knowledge and was very kind and friendly. Would definitely recommend to people coming to Salvador for the first time.

Fabulous tour of the city!

Published on Dec, 2022

Our guide was excellent! We had a great time touring the city, and trying out suggested recommendations for the remainder of our time in Salvador. I would definitely recommend doing the tour on your first day in the city, as a way of getting to know the area and its history. Highly recommended!
