    Tour was wonderful. Agustin was amazing in answering my questions very promptly. And I have a lot of questions. Everything ran very smoothly. Pick ups and drop offs were on time. I would definitely use this company again.

    Good, this should be a few more things to see and do in Salvador, especially when it comes to the Afro resilient community

    Excellent tour. Really couldn't be happier with the people (guides), the locations we went, the food at the Carretão, the hotel Windsor Excelsior, the drivers, etc. etc. I definitely would recommend this tour with the limited days we had in Rio. Glad I found TourRadar!!!
