Quality and price recome - Very complimentary in the schedules, Spanish and Portuguese, Thiago guide was very friendly. In general it is recommended at a reasonable cost

A very nice excursion - Guide and driver very nice and accommodating, I recommend! We had a very good day! In addition, very pleasant vehicle

I Loved It - I was a little weary because I saw a few negative reviews that said most of this excursion being in the bus. I am extremely glad I decided to go anyway. While I do think there is room for things to be timed out differently, I had an INCREDIBLE time and I'm going to book another excursion with this company. The guide was able to give the tour in English, Portuguese and Spanish, which is no small feat, and he was able to attend to everyone's needs. It was impressive to watch and I felt like I was getting a high standard of customer service the entire time. My friend and I had an amazing time and I would definitely recommend this tour to others.

A memorable walk - The landscapes are amazing. We took plenty of photos and also very safe travel. I would like to have this experience again.

Amazing English Speaking Guides - I researched for a long time to be able to find this tour operator. I only found them with the help of my guide in Recife! It is so hard to find English speaking guides!!! First, I contacted one of the owner, Vanessa Almeida. She runs the business with her brother Igor. As we were in port only until 3pm, I decided to organize a 4-hour tour. It was their “typical” tour so we could see the “must” attractions. I posted on CC and as it was a good quality/price excursion, we were a group of 50! 2 buses of 25 cruisers with a capacity of 30 and with a bathroom. Salvador is VERY nice and you will not be disappointed. Both guides (Gabriel and Ariel Veloso) were excellent English speakers. It is difficult to find good English speaking guides in Brazil so be aware!!!! So we were all very happy. Vanessa was a darling to work with even if she speaks only Portuguese… I collected all monies from the cruisers on the ship so it was easy for payment. Suggestion: to keep the cost of the excursion as low as possible, form a group through your roll call. This is how we ended up being 2 groups of 25. I love to give back so it is why I don’t mind not maximizing the size of my groups to 15 (for example). I know if more people are joining the excursion then, more money will end up in the pocket of the tour operator! I have been blessed by being born in Canada so now I must give back.

A walk on the beach with a chair - Praia do Forte is an increasingly prepared destination to welcome the tourist. Beautiful landscape, Tamar Project and so many other activities to do. The guide Tiago was fantastic and very attentive with us and with the whole group. The tour says to be accessible and my daughter did it with wheelchairs without problems and we were well assisted by the guide and driver.

Praia do Foete and Paria Guarajuba - Everything was great, from the beautiful walk. He also guides you through all the information, including historical data and transportation.

Blunt coffee drive character instead of cultural added value - Unfortunately, I have to say that the description of the tour and the reality are only remotely related. In addition, there are organizational deficiencies and inconveniences that cannot be foreseen by the description of the organizer. Without a doubt, the tour is suitable for people who would like to spend most of the day in the refrigerated bus. Because the journey alone was 3.5 hours long for everyone who was picked up first. Just collecting the fellow passengers occupied a large part of the time. We started at 7am and reached our destination at 10:30am. The tour guide made the journey with humor more bearable, but we were let down right at our first stop. Instead of being taken to the described “old fishing village”, we were taken to a reception camp for stranded tourists. Overpriced stores are lined up close together. Those who did not want to miss the “snorkeling experience” were separated from the rest of the group and driven to a beach where half-heartedly disinfected diving goggles await. The experience finally took place on a crowded stretch of beach in knee-high water. Photos are hastily taken in a mass handling with the participants and the extra attracted fish - A classic tourist rip-off. After that we were left to our own devices. There are no proper changing rooms and the only shower available we found on request at the other end of the facility. The turtle project is also in the midst of this touist spectacle. Unfortunately, we didn't get a guided tour in English - instead we were allowed to look at turtles in pool facilities that were far too small for my feeling. An hour and a half later, we were taken to the next Touist program in 30 minutes. Lunch in a “special restaurant”. The restaurant was by no means bad, but a classic Brazilian restaurant, which does not justify such a long journey. However, the prices are noticeably adapted to tourists and, in contrast to the quality of the offer, are above average. I have to note that this was the first opportunity to eat something that day. There was not too much time left for the beach before we went back the 3.5 hours after a 2h stay - this time with a silent guide. All in all, I would not repeat the day and would not recommend it to anyone. It's a shame ...

Disappointing Mass Tourism Experience Instead of Authentic Brazil - First, the positive: Our tour guide Fito was fantastic – friendly, humorous, and always trying to make the day more enjoyable. Unfortunately, that was the only memorable highlight of this tour. The biggest issue: The tour description gives the impression of a relaxing bus trip where you get to discover authentic Brazil. In reality, you’re simply shuttled from one tourist trap to the next. The supposedly relaxing ride along the “Coconut Road” to Praia do Forte turned into a two-hour tour of Salvador to pick up other passengers, followed by an additional 1.5-hour drive to the actual destination. That’s 3.5 hours of travel one way – and if you do the math, you’ll realize that the same route must be taken back. In total, that means 7 hours on the bus for just 5 hours at the ddstinations. Of this lenghty route, nothing is mentioned in tje description. But hey, i ordered a bustrip and I got one I guess... At the first destination, Praia do Forte, we expected a charming Fisherman’s Village - as described. Instead, we found a tourist strip full of overpriced restaurants, souvenir shops, and pushy promoters. Another major downside: no one at the location spoke English – unacceptable for a place so heavily focused on tourism. Even more disappointing were the activities offered during the bus ride by our tour guide. Believing these were organized highlights of our booked tour, we opted for the snorkeling activity and the TAMAR sea turtle project. While the TAMAR project was fine and seemed legitimate, the “snorkeling” experience was a complete joke. It involved sitting in 20 cm of shallow water with a snorkel mask, watching a few fish swim by – something that can hardly be called snorkeling. In hindsight, it became clear that these activities were overpriced promoter offerings that no one would normally consider, had they not been sold on the bus by our tour guide himself. The second stop in Guarajuba was equally disappointing. Although the beach was beautiful, the two-hour stay was far too short to enjoy it properly. The “excellent seaside restaurant” turned out to be a basic tourist joint with plastic chairs, bright neon decorations, and once again, no English-speaking staff. To top it off, three people in our group later suffered from stomach issues – while we can’t say for sure if it was due to the food, there’s reason to suspect it. Conclusion: This tour promises an authentic experience but delivers nothing more than a typical mass tourism shuttle with overpriced, misleading add-ons. Language barriers, poor logistical organization, and the stark contrast between the advertised description and the actual experience made this tour a major disappointment. If you’re looking to discover the real Brazil, this tour isn’t for you. The only saving grace: our wonderful guide Fito.
