Experience Salvador with Heart and Passion – Private Tours with an International Guide
Visiting Salvador da Bahia is like stepping into a living kaleidoscope of colors, music, and culture. The city’s streets pulse with energy, its history whispers from every corner, and its people radiate warmth. But to truly understand Salvador, you need someone who knows it inside and out – not just its landmarks, but its hidden alleys, rhythms, and soul. That’s exactly what Markus Frenzel, an international guide fluent in English and German, offers.

From Hospitality to the Heart of Bahia
Markus’s journey began in the world of hospitality. Trained in hotel management, he worked across several countries, mastering the art of genuine service, attention to detail, and personalized care. Yet it was Brazil – and Salvador in particular – that captured his heart. The warmth of its people, the irresistible music in the streets, the sparkling coastline, and the ever-present belief in joy and community drew him in and made him stay.

From this fascination grew a mission: to introduce visitors from around the world to the authentic Salvador. Forget crowded tours and cookie-cutter itineraries – Markus’s tours are personal, immersive, and unforgettable.
Personalized Tours – Authentic, Lively, and Memorable
Every tour with Markus is unique. Whether wandering the cobblestone streets of the historic Pelourinho, strolling along the coast to the iconic Farol da Barra Lighthouse, or visiting the Church of Bonfim with its colorful wish ribbons, each tour is crafted to the interests and pace of the guests.

“I want my guests to feel Salvador, not just see it,” Markus explains. “The city has many faces, and I help people discover them all.”
Unlike other guides who rush from sight to sight, Markus pauses. He tells stories, opens doors, and connects travelers with locals. Whether it’s a street musician, a Candomblé ceremony, or sampling acarajé at a tiny street stall, visitors experience Salvador up close and personal.
Recognized on German Television

Markus’s authentic approach and deep knowledge have also brought him recognition beyond Brazil. He has been featured multiple times on German TV, showcasing Salvador and Brazil’s rich culture to international audiences.
These appearances reflect his talent for engaging people, sharing stories, and making Salvador come alive for anyone eager to explore it.

A Cultural Kaleidoscope
Salvador is where African, European, and Indigenous influences merge to create a unique culture. Markus doesn’t just explain this blend – he lets visitors experience it.
In the vibrant streets of Pelourinho, where Capoeira drums echo, he tells the stories of slavery, resistance, and Afro-Brazilian heritage. In Salvador’s churches, he illustrates how Catholic traditions fuse with African Orishas, creating an extraordinary spiritual landscape.
And of course, Markus introduces guests to Bahia’s culinary delights – from a freshly prepared Moqueca with dendê oil to bustling local markets where spices and flavors awaken the senses.
