Explore the roots of Bahia
Neil_S, Sep 2023
Dirk was my tour guide. His knowledge of Bahia comes from decades of having lived in Salvador and being part of the community. He was awesome. I learned a lot. I spent three months in Salvador in 1998. I traveled to Santa Amaro to see Caetano Veloso perform in his home town, but I knew nothing about the city. Dirk did a great job of telling the history of the region. I also enjoyed our encounters withe people we met. Dirk is an excellent guide. I highly recommend this trip to those people who want to explore Afro- Brazilian culture.

Dirk was an amazing guide. He got us off the beaten path and helped to really understand what Salvador and Cachoeira really are and how these two historic cities fit into Brazil’s development.
