My name is Adriano, I live in the Historic Center of Salvador and I offer my services throughout the city. Having already been to several states in the country as a tourist, I understand the importance of the need for efficient and clear communication, as well as the importance of trust and cordiality. As we value the quality of our tour, the number of people per period is limited to a maximum of a small group of 5 people. Come with comfortable sneakers and light clothing.... It will be a pleasure to welcome you to our city

Tour description

Our meeting will take place at Praça Castro Alves, where we can appreciate an incredible view of the Baía de Todos os Santos and its islands.

Leaving Praça Castro Alves, we will continue walking along Rua Chile (A primeira rua do Brazil) to then make a photo stop on Rua Pau da Bandeira, famous in Salavdor for its magnificent view of the Bay.

We will continue to Praça Thomé de Souza (Name in homage to the first General Governor of the Republic).

In Praça Thomé de Souza we have the Palácio do Primeiro Governo, a place that was used as the Primeira prison of Brazil, and also the Magnificent Lacerda elevator, which connects Salavador to its two cities (Cidade Alta and Cidade Baixa).

Continuing our journey along Rua Chile, passing by the Museu da Misericórdia (Primeiro Hospital do Brazil) and continuing to Praça da Sé, where we have the Incrível monument of the Fallen Cross, a monument in protest to the demolition of the Igreja da Sé. We pause to the photos and we will continue.

Now in the Praça da Sé we will take two pauses: one to visualize the Statue of the First Bishop of Brazil and his tragic ending, and another in the Statue of the leader of the Resistência dos escravos, or Zumbi dos Palmares.

Saindo da Praça da Sé we go to Largo Terreiro de Jesús. Nesse Largo a spectacle is presented to our eyes... The first Faculty of Medicine of the Country and Complex of Churches that calls attention to the fact that it is chega no Largo

Following Largo Terreiro de Jesus, we pass to Largo do Cruzeiro de São Francisco. Local where an incredible image of the Igreja de Ouro stands out.

We will enter the Igreja de Ouro to see its interior, and then leave, we will follow the streets of the colorful houses, then we will pass the Casa do Olodum (Afro-Brazilian Drum School) and finally, we will visit the famous "Ladeira do Pelô", Local where the Astro do pop Michael Jackson esteve e Gravou o Clipe de su music "They don't care about us" and where it is located in the famous Igreja dos Pretos, built by the first Irmandade dos Homens Pretos do Brasil.

Here is where we will take our photo and finish this wonderful Tour of Heart of Brazil.

Adriano was an excellent guide. He introduced us to some parts of Salvador that only a local would know, taught us a lot about the history & culture of the city and also answered many questions. Even after the official tour finished he took us to the next place we were going to visit. Furthermore Andriano was very flexible (he altered the start time due to weather conditions) and speaks excellent English. He was also very solicitous and gave us advice about where is/isn't safe and sent us a list of other recommendations after we'd said goodbye. We highly recommend him as a guide.
