Virtual Walking Tour in Brazil First Colonial Capital - OUTDOOR Live Virtual Tour

Welcome to Bahia, the Land of Happiness! ☀️🌴 “Sorria, você está na Bahia!” — Smile, you’re in Bahia! I’m Sayuri, a proud Soteropolitana—born and raised in Salvador, Bahia—and a Brazilian Black Asian (Blasian) tour guide. I absolutely love my hometown, and I love sharing it with travelers through experiences that go beyond the usual tourist attractions. As a licensed national and South American tour guide, I create experiences throughout Salvador and Bahia, including destinations such as Cachoeira (Reconcavo Baiano - birthplace of Samba de Roda), Morro de São Paulo, Boipeba, Praia do Forte (Turtle Sanctuary - TAMAR) and more. Salvador is often called “Black Rome” because of the strength and richness of its African heritage. In my tours, I love exploring this history and culture through music, food, literature, religion, neighborhoods, architecture and—most importantly—the people who make Salvador what it is. I also believe that traveling should benefit the local community. Whenever possible, my tours support small local businesses and independent producers, while still including the iconic places you came all the way to Bahia to see. 🌎 Virtual tours from Brazil In 2020, virtual tourism opened a whole new world for me. I discovered that it was possible to share Salvador with people anywhere in the world—even when they couldn't travel here themselves. Since then, I’ve hosted virtual experiences for students, families, groups of friends and seniors, and I’m especially passionate about my live-streamed tours of Salvador’s Old Town and my Musical Experience in Black Rome. 🍴 Culture, food & stories My experiences are also inspired by my love of Brazilian travel, literature, music and gastronomy. I was a coordinator of Comida di Buteco in Salvador, a popular Brazilian food festival, which gave me an even deeper connection to the city's food scene and local entrepreneurs. Whether we are walking through the historic center, discovering Afro-Brazilian heritage, tasting local food, listening to music or exploring Salvador after dark, I want you to experience the city with someone who genuinely lives and loves it. If you’re looking for the Salvador beyond the postcard, I’d especially recommend my Afro Heritage Tour and my exclusive evening/night experiences, where you can experience Salvador’s nightlife like a local. I’m also happy to share my personal Salvador Guidebook, filled with my recommendations for places to eat, visit and explore. 📅 Planning your trip? I highly recommend booking in advance so I can help you plan your time in Bahia. Even if my calendar appears unavailable, please send me a message! Sometimes I have a half-day available or can arrange a tour during the day or evening. Come explore Bahia with a Sotero(a)—a real local from Salvador. I’ll show you the city I know, love and call home. “Minha vida é andar por este país / Pra ver se um dia descanso feliz…” — A Vida do Viajante, Luiz Gonzaga About me Licensed Tour Guide — Embratur / Ministry of Tourism Tour Guide — SENAC Bahia Graduate in Literature & English, Universidade Federal da Bahia (UFBA) Former lawyer — Universidade Presbiteriana Mackenzie, São Paulo National & South American tour guide Born and raised in Salvador, Bahia Come to Bahia—and let a Soteropolitana show you around. ❤️
