First approach to Salvador - The tour started promptly at 3 p.m. It lasted approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes. The explanation was very clear and complete. He discussed activity options and their prices. As it was getting dark we had places with very nice views. He answered all our questions. It is important to bring water to stay hydrated, a hat, and sunscreen, as well as good footwear. It is not a difficult walk. We travel through downtown areas, pay attention to vehicles. Highly recommended to start your stay in Salvador
