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

Welcome to Salvador, the first capital of Brazil and one of the oldest cities in the country, an amazing city to visit, visually refreshing, famous for its local colonial Portuguese architecture, beautiful beaches, Bahian music and the smells of local food in the company of extremely warm and relaxed people who are proud to be Soteropolitanos (a person born in Salvador). We will discover Salvador's Cidade Baixa or Lower City, which is considered an area of great architectural interest with its beautiful historical and cultural treasures across the city neighbourhoods overlooking the calm waters of the Bay of All Saints, such as Ribeira, Bonfim, Ponta de Humaitá and Boa Viagem, all of them characterized by the bucolic air of an inland town. This tour will reveal to you the extraordinary city of Salvador so join me and let me take you to see the best of my hometown!
This tour was the perfect introduction to the fascinating history and culture of Salvador. Carlos is a knowledgable and professional guide, who goes above and beyond to ensure a customer-centric experience. The visit to the Church of Nosso Senhor do Bonfim was especially delightful. Absolutely book this tour!
It was a very interesting tour with seeing Salvador‘s highlights. Carlos was also very kind and smart. He told us fantastic facts and stories about the buildings, Bonfin church and other visiting points. His Englisch was very understandable. My family and myself enjoyed and would definetly recommend this tour.
We had 2 days with Carlos and this was the second. As I wrote on my first review, Carlos is an energetic guide who is very well versed in the history of the area. The level of detail he has about the churches, tiles from Lisbon, the squares of the old city, and more is amazing. He was willing to take us to the airport and this really helped us maximize our time. Highly recommend Carlos and Salvador.
We had a wonderful tour with Carlos. He is extremely knowledgeable of local history and is an excellent communicator. His English is perfect and he was easy to understand. We highly recommend Carlos!
Carlos is amazing! He is SO knowledgeable! And his English is flawless. It's like getting a guided tour by a history professor. He also paced the tour beautifully, took us to obscure places we wouldn't have found, drove us around, navigated traffic and parking beautifully and even helped us shop for souvenirs. He gave great advice on what things to see and not to see, on our own. Highly recommended if you are ever in Salvador.
