Super recommended!!! - Excellent excursion to learn about Bahian history and culture. Our guide was Alejandra, who is a scholar of the subject and was able to transmit her knowledge with great passion and charisma. They met the schedules. The transfer bus was new and always acclimated. Super recommended!!

Very good experience. - Sauipe Alla Terra is a comfortable, very clean and tidy resort, with its facilities maintained and cared for. While the staff are excellent, there is no one who speaks another language, in our case Spanish, to exchange information and advise us on any questions. They only speak their own language and don't show much concern for making themselves understood. Very good service in all areas. The restaurant that operates does not have international cuisine; most of its dishes are for the palate of locals.

Good experience and fully in Spanish - Viviana met us punctually at the airport and we were taken in a comfortable van to the hotel to the two of us alone!! Very good service, then we took an excursion to San Salvador, the guide well, until the guide Gabriel took us to a restaurant to get killed with the price, a tourist hunter. 230 reais a plate of food and two refreecos, which I had to share with my partner. Except that the bus very comfortable, punctual, and then we were picked up to take to the airport satisfactorily even before the agreed time The only thing that tarnished my 5-star rating was the tourist hunting lunch (colossal in case it's called the restaurant, don't go). Viviana always attentive in the 7 days of stay, thank you!!

Bad experience - The tour guide was very good. The complaint is that the vendors do not speak Spanish and do not make the effort to understand. I booked a tour to Dos Frases and they did not confirm it and I could not make it. In addition, the app with which I pay for a tour made the payment day after day and they did not return my money. Every day claiming, I am back and I still don't have the refund. Unnecessary wear and tear. But worst of all, they are tour operators and their staff speak very little Spanish! They don't provide a good service
