My name is Markus Frenzel. I am a German expat, a passionate tour guide in Salvador, and the owner of the well-known hotel " Pousada Rancho Fundo ".
I have worked in tourism in this fascinating city for over 15 years. Salvador is my home. That's why my work as a tour guide is not just a job for me, but a calling.
Perfect for cruise passengers:
Stress-free shore excursions in English.
When your cruise ship docks in the port of Salvador da Bahia, time is often tight. As an experienced tour guide, I have tailored several tours specifically to the ships' docking times:
Punctuality & Guarantee: I will pick you up directly at the port terminal and bring you back to the ship absolutely on time.
Individuality and small groups instead of mass tourism:
Forget about crowded buses.
We travel individually or in private mini-groups in an exclusive off-road vehicle.
Everything from one source: Benefit from the perfect combination of the hospitality of our Pousada Rancho Fundo and local insider knowledge.
