Our guide could not have been...

Melinda_M, Mar 2018

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.

Robert H, Oct 2017

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.

Jorge Hage was a wonderful tour...

Idriss F, Feb 2016

Jorge Hage was a wonderful tour guide and very knowledgable, he spoke French the whole time with my mother and I and even went above his tour time to show us extra places, highly recommended and appreciate this tour, saw and learned a lot about African history and the culture that still permeates!
