Private tour guides Receife/Salvador Brazil?

Does any one know of a private tour for either of these cities in Brazil. Leaving April 5 on the Rotterdam. Thanks

When I was there a couple of years ago, we got into the Stern (jewellers) minivan and at their shop, they got us a taxi and we toured Olinda/Recife for $25 pp (there were 4 of us). Went where the large buses cannot go.

Thanks. We did that in Rio.

You might want to check to see if either http://www.southstartours.com or http://www.portcompass.com can help you out. Call them (don't just look on their websites).

Cruising along the Brazilian coast in the Costa Favolosa (great ship and trip)

Today stop in SALVADOR da Bahia

We had a rendez-vous with Ivan Bahia Guide, who was awaiting us at the harbour-docks exit when we got off the ship.

Ivan happens to perform an excellent, punctual and flexible guide service in Salvador

He gladly adapted his panoramic city-tour of the city (by car) to our specific interests.

To be recommended.

By the way as we are a mixed couple French / Dutch, we were glad to perceive that this guide (being a belgian expat who migrated to Brazil a decade ago) also speaks fluently Dutch and French.

We also took that free shuttle cruise n Recife but did not tour...we just walked across the street, as far as I remember, to a big beach full of happy local folks with music playing and kites flying. We thought it was a great way to spend a day.
