Reasons to book this experience

  • Salvador in Bahia is the top Black History destination in Brazil with the largest shore line in the NorthEast of Brazil (tops beaches and islands)
  • I am a tour guide that started working with students of Portuguese as a second language, so my tours ALWAYS give you a local experience in town, focus on culture and black history.
  • Local Food is my passion - I was the coordinator of a Local Food Festival for 3 years in town, so if you are foodie, book this tour!

Booking Information

    E-mail confirmation will be sent, after purchase

    We will actually visit many places in this experience, the main ones are:

    • Pelourinho - Old Town in Bahia: this is the oldest part of town and heart of our colonial history as the Capital of Brazil from 1579 until 1763.  We will visit the colorful streets of the old town  and inside the Igreja Sao Francisco (Gold Church) and Black Church (Igreja Rosario dos Pretos)
    • Local Black Business in Pelourinho: visit an art gallery and get to know local artists in town and a local Street Food Vendor (Baiana de Acaraje)
    • Panoramic Views of the City: Barra (lighthouse) and Bonfim Area
    • Top Places to visit in Bahia: Costa Baleias, Costa do Dende, etc
    • My secret sunset place (that I will not describe here, but you will see on line)

    This experience will give you a good overview of Black History and Local Life in Bahia, with wonderful local music and flavours. 

    I am a local Tour Guide in Salvador, Bahia and for 10 years I have been giving local experiences to my guests. Not only we visit the TOP attractions in town, but also the genuine places that locals go and are not easy to find by yourselves.

    This virtual experience will do the same - show you my selection of hidden gems in Bahia!

    1. Overview of Brazil and Bahia: Colonial history, Slavery Trade, my personal choices for the best of town: food, music, my favourite sunset in town (guess what, that is NOT the LightHouse  ;)- Farol da Barra)

    2. Virtual Walking Tour in the Old Town: architecture, local street food, meeting locals and percussion in the old town

    3. Gastronomy in Bahia: our food is famous all over the world. Muqueca and Acaraje are the top selection in any restaurant and we will see the history behind the "Reino do dende" (Palm Oil Land)

    I will also make sure that we have enough time toward the end to engage with the audience, we'll talk about anything Bahia/Brazil, and answer your questions or debate your virtual experience in Bahia (Q&A)

  • All info will be provided by email after booking.
  • General Admission for One Screen : USD 11.50
  • I will include a digital package to give you a full and local experience in town, for booking your next vacation here - suggestion of places to visit, playlist with local music, etc.
