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

Salvador de Bahia will seduce you and probably bewitch you! I'm passionate about the city I was born in, and Salvador is a special place! Its charming cobblestone streets of the Old Town, grandiose Churches, colorful Portuguese architecture, the influence of local Indigenous People and African cultures will follow us around. I am the result of this great mixture and I truly enjoy showing this special city for me to all of you who are coming to visit my home. Excellent option for shore excursions! This private itinerary will take you to discover the extraordinary history and architecture of Salvador, as well as the rich mix of cultures that makes it such a unique city in all of Brazil. Working with travelers from different parts of the world, and doing it for over twenty years, has always been a big pleasure to me, and to make your trip to be the most enjoyable experience is my ultimate goal. "Venha curtir em Salvador"!

We had an excellent day touring Salvador with Carlos. His attention to detail really stood out—he thoughtfully explained the history and significance of each stop while keeping the pace relaxed and enjoyable. Highlights included the stunning panoramic views of the Mont Serrat Fort, as well as the meaningful visit to Bonfim Church. Carlos also did a wonderful job bringing the city’s cultural layers to life, especially as we explored the Upper City and walked through the Old City, including the Basilica Cathedral and Saint Francis Church. Beyond his knowledge, Carlos is genuinely friendly, approachable, and clearly passionate about Salvador. He was always attentive to our comfort, flexible with timing, and happy to answer questions. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend Carlos to anyone wanting a well-rounded, engaging, and seamless experience in Salvador.

Carlos was a great guide. Personable and informative. Very good English. He gave us a great day in Salvador. Salvador is an interesting City and the use of Carlos’s car allowed us to view the whole bay area then a walking tour of the upper town with a great meal.

This tour exceeded our expectations. Carlos was a great guide who explained the history and significance of what we were seeing. He answered all our questions and offered optional stops along the way. Would recommend if you want to see all of Salvador in a day.

This tour was our introduction to Brazil and Salvador in particular. We had a great experience with Carlos whose knowledge and itinerary provided everything we have come to expect from a “Tours by Locals” tour and more. Look no further than Carlos for an informative and enjoyable day.

We had a fantastic tour with Carlos in Salvador! He was incredibly knowledgeable and brought the city’s rich history and vibrant culture to life in such an engaging way. We learned so much, not just about the landmarks, but also about the traditions, music, and everyday life that make Salvador so special. Carlos was friendly, professional, and made the experience feel personal and memorable. Highly recommend him to anyone visiting Salvador—you’ll walk away with a deeper appreciation for this amazing city!
