We learned about Salvador’s history and culture. It was a great experience and the lunch stop was delicious. We enjoyed shopping in the Jesus square annd anct bought a few things for home (canvas painting, hand carved cross, etc). Our guide was Josuel, and we highly recommend his service.

What a wonderful way to explore Bahia. Josuel, our tour guide, provides a one of kind tour that gives you a great perspective of the African history of Salvador. You'll explore and learn so much about the city. You'll also have fun. Josuel is so personable. He speaks fluent Portuguese and fluent English. You'll appreciate the city and its people so much more after his tour. We'll definitely recommend his tour to anyone we know visiting Bahia. Thanks Josuel.

Joshuel was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of African Brazilians and the country of Brasil.

A must do if you are traveling to Salvador! So much African history in this great city you will want to take it all in. Be mindful of the days you do it since around the holidays the museum we wanted to do that was included in the tour was closed. Tour guides should provide some blackout dates so tourists know that in advance. We had no way of knowing that but with that said it was still a wonderful tour. Josuel and Kayuri were both outstanding!

Josuel is an amazing and passionate tour guide who is extremely knowledgeable about the Africa diaspora in Brazil. We sought his service to help plan, coordinate and deliver a three day tour of Salvador for a group of twelve individuals. We specifically asked for places/events/activities that would help us to know more about our ancestors and Josuel delivered. We toured and studied Pelourinho, attended a candomble service, participated in a Bahian cuisine cooking class and partnered with a local school that focused upon serving and educating children in the community. His attention to detail and desire to maximize our experience meant the world to us. We learned so much in such a short time . He also provided us with great food and shopping recommendations. His tours are the best !

This was an amazing tour. Joshua picked me up and gave me a guided tour of the city as well as an in depth history lesson of the upper and lower cities. He was able to connect the history of the city with the current reality of Salvador. It was wonderful to spend part of my day learning about the city I was vacationing in.
