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

Overview of your Salvador tour

This evening tour will take you on a walk through the cobblestoned streets and squares of the historical area of Salvador, allowing you to enjoy the facades of the colonial houses and illuminated churches, until we reach the restaurant where we will taste the delights of the Bahian cuisine and watch a magnificent folk show, heavily influenced by Bahia's African culture, including the Candomblé religion and the most amazing dances like Capoeira, Maculelé and Samba. This tour takes place on Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. However, some days of the week may need to be changed depending on the number of reservations.

We had a fantastic experience at this folclórico show in Salvador. From the moment it began, the performers were incredibly engaging—full of energy, talent, and genuine passion for the culture. The music was amazing and truly brought the rhythms and traditions of Bahia to life. The show started right on time, which we really appreciated, and the environment was cozy and welcoming, making it easy to relax and fully enjoy the performance. It felt intimate, authentic, and thoughtfully organized. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to experience Bahian culture through music and dance in a lively yet comfortable setting. 💃🏽🥁✨

Carlos was an excellent guide! The folklore show and dinner were the perfect way to experience Salvador’s culture—beautiful performances, delicious food, and great insight throughout. Highly recommend!

We loved the front row table Carlos secured for us for the buffet dinner and dance and capoiera show. His excellent English made explanation of the dances of the Candomble deities easy and we really appreciated his telling us what to expect of the rest of the show. I had been worried about getting back to the ship in time after an evening outing but Carlos suggested a realistic timing and got us back exactly when he said. We felt safe in his company for the evening in old town and would gladly tour again

Your Salvador tour itinerary

To start with, we will flavor a typical Bahian dish. Then, the folkloric show begins! This riveting show starts with the presentation of the dances of the Orixás (the deities of Candomblé). Then, the maculelê, a dance-fight from the region of the Recôncavo Baiano to celebrate the harvest of sugar cane, where the slaves would use sticks and machetes. After, we will watch the famous capoeira, a blend of dance and fight of Angolan origin that will energize us with the rhythms of the berimbau and the atabaques (drums). Then, we cannot miss Samba de Roda (Samba in a circle), which gave rise to our national dance - the samba. And finally, other folkloric manifestations from the northeast of Brazil, such as "forró", "xaxado" and "baião".
