Itinerary

Praca Terreiro de Jesus

The Historical Tour takes place at the vibrant old city, Pelourinho, a UNESCO heritage site since 1985. The tour starts at Terreiro de Jesus Square, one of the 3 important squares in the old city. There is located 3 churches, including the Cathedral of Salvador, and a building where was the first Medical School in Brazil. We recommend a visit to the Cathedral and its beautiful decoration and Sacristy (Admission fee around 1 Euro). On the way down to Pelourinho Square, we walk through the cobbled streets, seeing craftwork, admiring the colorful colonial houses, feeling the rhythm of the city.

45 minutes
N/A

Pelourinho Square is the main square in the old city and one of the landmarks of Salvador. There we see The Mother of Rosary from the Blacks Church, or “The Blue Church”, a very important monument from the period of slavery in Brazil. From there we can also see the other side of the old city, named Carmo, with the view of 3 Churches. We walk up to the Carmo Street, where we see the N. Sr. dos Passos Church and its famous stairs. Usually, this square is a busy area, with tourists and locals, where you can feel the rhythm of drums from the unique Afro-Reggae music.

30 minutes
Igreja e Convento de Sao Francisco

From there we walk up, always through the cobbled streets, to the 3rd. main Square, Cross Square. There is located one of the most impressive and rich churches of Brazil, the Saint Francis Church and Convent, with its exuberant gold-leafed Baroque interior, and a porch with the famous Portuguese hand-painted tiles. We recommend a visit (entrance fee around 1 Euro). It will be given about 20 minutes free at this square, so you have time to drink a refreshing coconut water if you like, and enjoy the area.

45 minutes
Praca Thome de Souza

On the way to the Praça Tomé de Souza (Municipal Square), we walk through Sé Square with the old Bishop House, the Sé Belvedere where there is the Falling Breaking Cross sculpture and Bay view. Once we get at the at the Municipal Square, we enjoy a famous landmark of Salvador, the view from the Lower City and the All Saints Bay, by the Lacerda Elevator. The City Hall, the City Council, from the colonial time, and Rio Branco Palace, from the beginning of the 20th Century, are all there.

30 minutes
Mercado Modelo

After enjoying the breathtaking view and the area, we take the Lacerda Elevator, to go to the souvenirs Mercado Modelo Market, at the lower city, where will be a time for shopping and go around, and is where the Tour finish.

Absolutely memorable!

Published on Feb, 2025

Salvador is vibrant and alive with music, culture, and history! This tour gave us an in-depth view of the city’s Afro-Brazilian roots, colonial history, and stunning coastline.

Great Value Half-Day Tour of Salvador

Published on Nov, 2023

Ana met us at the cruise terminal and quickly began describing the history and culture of Salvador. We took the elevator up to Pelourinho to see several several interesting spots including a craft market and several churches. She did a great job of keeping us informed along the way. We found Ana's tour to be a great value, much better than the 40-person excursions offered by our cruise.

Beautiful Salvador

Published on Sep, 2023

Salvador is a very interesting city and worth exploring with a guide if it’s your first visit. Gabriela will provide lots of tidbits, advice and recommendations.

Crazy good!

Published on Apr, 2023

You need to take this tour with Ana! She is so well informed of the city, culture, and food. Oh my goodness. We did not expect much from this port city on our cruise but Ana opened our eyes and taste buds to the amazing city Salvador Bahia is. She knows the locals. She grew up here. You will get everything and more with Ana at your side. Don’t miss the St. Francis church! Or the coconut milk with lime!!! Can’t say enough about Ana and the city! ENJOY!!!

Couldn't Be Better!!! Go For It!

Published on Sep, 2020

Ana is simply amazing!!! We were 3 young couples from Germany in Salvador and decided to hire her for a tour. She knows really a looot. Explained the history, the culture, the food and much more not only through words but by showing and tasting... We had a great time, got to know a lot of nice areas and places, tried several typical foods during the tour such as Tapioca and Acarajé, ate in a great local restaurant and drank the famous cravinho, all by suggestion from her... We also watched the famous Capoeira, a mix of dance and martial arts... I can only recommend her. Her german is excellent, as well as her english!!! Go for it and be sure if a great experience!!
