The day trip was very good. Our guide is certainly knowledgeable about the history of Salvador and the highlights along the way to Cachoeira. He made the day quite enjoyable for us.However, we wish Viator had notified us that, for a Sunday trip, none of the highlights we wanted to experience in Cachoeira would be open. We certainly can't fault our guide for that. Viator needs to do a better job of advising people.
