Hi, I'm Carlos, nice to meet you! Graduated in business administration, but always a lover of tourism, I started my professional life around 20 years ago working in hotels, restaurants and events, before developing my career as a Tour Guide. I lived in the United States, where I finished my final year of High School, and also in Europe, where I studied in France and Germany. I love traveling and discovering new cultures and I am equally passionate about my homeland, Salvador, a vibrant city with a fascinating mix of indigenous, European and African cultures. I love researching our rich history and culture and sharing it with our visitors. I am available to provide you with an excellent experience in Salvador and in the beautiful tourist regions of our state. Welcome to Bahia! And remember, all my tours can be customized upon request. Credencial for guiding localy in Bahia state, as well as Brazil and South America None

Visitámos Salvador durante três horas e foi perfeito. O Carlos preparou uma visita personalizada, tendo em conta o nosso interesse pela história. Aprendemos imenso sobre a cidade e ficámos muito satisfeitos com a visita, pois ele permitiu-nos descobri-la sob uma perspetiva diferente. Além disso, foi muito flexível quanto ao ponto de início e fim da visita, o que apreciámos bastante. Recomendamos o Carlos a 100%!
