Welcome to Bahia!! This is the most important and must do tour in Salvador: walking tour in the UNESCO World Heritage Site and you will visit with a local afro-brazilian tour guide. This is my favorite part of the city and the walking tours (in-person or virtual). We will walk in the upper city and if you want we can also visit the lower city Mercado Modelo area (option) The streets that inspired Jorge Amado to write "Dona Flor and her 2 husbands" and were also used by many artists in their videoclip - the most famous one was Michael Jackson in 1996 - "They Don't Care About US" Salvador was the first capital of Brazil (1549 - 1763) and walk in the colonial wall city is a charming view of Bahia. Also this area is the location of museums, schools of music/dance, cultural centers, and some top restaurants!
We will explore the whole area of upper city from Largo do Pelourinho until Elevador Lacerda: cultural centers, museums, hand made crafts of local artists, etc. If possible, I usually suggest to start this tour around 2:30-3:00PM, so we are able to see sunset by the end of the tour. A tradicional itinerary in the Old Town: Meeting at Terreiro de Jesus - WAlking towards Elevador Lacerda - best view of the Bay of All Saints (I usually give an option to visit the Lower City - Mercado Modelo) Walk in the main streets with calm and time to explore small local shops and local flavours (drink Cravinho is a MUST in Pelourinho) You will have enouth time to enjoy town and we will visti the Igreja de Sao Francisco (Gold Church - tickets included) And finish in Largo do Pelourinho (the most famous views of the colonial houses) I suggest to finish the tour in one of my favorite local restaurants. (*THIS TOUR AND PRICE DOES NOT APPLY FOR CARNIVAL SEASON - CHECK THE CALENDAR AND CARNIVAL TOUR OPTIONS)
Contact your local guide to know more!!
