When we got to the Argentina side, I got dropped at our hotel (I was way too hot), and he took my husband there. Hubby said it wasn’t as impressive but still nice to see. Sidnei spoke excellent English. I would definitely recommend his…”

“Wilson was a terrific guide for a wonderful day off the tourist track that displays the evolution in beliefs and faiths that has sustained Salvador's Black population over the centuries.

A very satisfying experience that gives resonance to a Salvador visit.”

“Bruno is an exceptional guide. We saw the key sites and then some, very efficiently. Besides being extremely knowledgeable about Rio and its history, he’s a delightful person. He was born in Rio, moved to the US as a child, and returned to Rio to open a tour business a few years ago. He’s a great blend of Brazilian and US culture. So, if you’re looking for a great guide in Rio, try to book with Bruno. A+++++++++++”
