Hi John,
ReplyDeleteI've been a fan of your blog for many years now. The reason I write is because I need your help. I know Salvador is one of your favorite cities and I am wondering if you know any good tour guides there. I'll be visiting next week for two days and want to maximize my time. I remember reading that you used one in one of your entries many moons ago.
Any help is appreciated!
~Joseph
Hi Joseph:
ReplyDeleteYou might try either Fernando Bingre, who's in Salvador: https://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g303272-d2098155-r211860472-Salvador_Tour_Guide-Salvador_State_of_Bahia.html
or João Carlos, who's in Rio, and who could connect you with people in Salvador. João used to lead tours from the US to Rio and Salvador: http://www.anyguide.com/americasconnect
