O tour começou positivo, com o transfer pontual e o guia, “Painho”, se apresentando de maneira simpática. Gostamos de conhecer mais sobre a cidade de Salvador. No entanto, ao subirmos pelo Elevador Lacerda, o grupo acabou se dispersando e ficamos aguardando um chamado do guia, o que não ocorreu. Ao percebermos sua ausência, notamos que outras duas famílias também haviam ficado para trás. Ao tentar contato telefônico com o guia, percebemos uma mudança brusca de postura, inclusive com ele elevando o tom de voz durante a ligação. Em vez de retornar cerca de 200 metros para reagrupar as três famílias (incluindo a minha), ele nos repreendeu e pediu que o encontrássemos no caminho. Quando tentei explicar que havia outras duas famílias com crianças pequenas, fui interrompido e informado de que o tour seguiria sem a nossa presença. Solicitamos sua localização e, ao finalmente alcançá-lo, o guia manteve uma postura grosseira, inclusive fazendo comentários negativos sobre as pessoas.

Wir haben viele interessante Informationen ĂĽber Brasilien, Bahia und Salvador bekommen. Der Guide hat sich um alle sehr gut gekĂĽmmert und auf alle Fragen eingegangen. Ich kann es nur weiterempfehlen!
