We were inspired to start when Luana returned to Brazil after living in Ireland for a year and immersing herself in local life. During her time in Europe, she had the opportunity to travel and learn about many countries and cultures. On every trip, whenever she visited a new city, the first thing she sought out was a “free walking tour”. When she returned to Brazil and couldn't find one in Rio de Janeiro, our travel agency was born, in July 2013. With 11 years in the market, we continue to share our passion! Free Walker has evolved and grown since then. Today, we offer tours in Rio de Janeiro, Paraty, and Salvador. We prioritize quality in interactive and enjoyable tours, aiming to change the way tours are organized in Brazil and improve their quality. Welcome! It would be a pleasure to have you join us!

Tour description
Discover the origins of Salvador and Brazil on foot with our Free Walking Tour Salvador, a journey through the city where Brazilian history truly began. This historic walking tour Salvador explores Santo Antônio Além do Carmo and the heart of the Historic Center, revealing stories that go far beyond Pelourinho.
As we walk through churches, squares, slopes, and cultural landmarks with rich historical and cultural context — you’ll understand how Indigenous, African, and European influences shaped Salvador. The tour also offers meaningful insights into Afro-Brazilian culture and religions of African origin, essential to the city’s identity, history, and everyday life.
