No one can better explain the experiences and emotions lived during our trips than our traveling friends. We rely not only on the feedback of our programs but also, and most importantly, on declarations of love for Brazil and Brazilians. We make it available on this page of the website some testimonies written by those travelers who chose us to discover and experience a country and its people that we from Cultour love and know deeply.
“Dear Marco, Both in the role of an organizer of this trip to Brazil and as someone who knows relatively well the Latin American continent for the last three decades, and in the name of my travel partners (My wife Vitoria, Helena, Enzo, Rosalva and Vitor), I would like to summarize the sensations of my two [...]”
“Martn’alia…..us in the car, the wind of Salvador, this is our Brazil. Saudade…accompany the preparations for the trip, that beyond enthusiasm, ignores the experience that I will live. Their trip….my trip. Re-make it in the perfumes, in the smiles of who, companion of adventure, you gave us a piece of your life, gave us a little corner [...]”
“Fantastic river, but shocking (streets kids and the favelas touched me). As a travel experience it was very intense. I think we will return to Italy with less biases and more happiness. Its extraordinary the warmth and sense of welcome, that for us is unthinkable. So beautiful to see everyone dancing and having fun together, [...]”
“We left for Brazil unprepared. We had never seen practically any of that “little” that awaited us. We were lucky. We found you, Marco, and your Bahian friends. Your profound love for this land was contagious. You made us see so many big and small aspects of this huge and rich country. New Years in [...]”
“Unforgettable days by the sea. Salvador is a strong city. Brazil is colorful, welcoming, smiling, uninhibited, affectionate, bright and also a little shocking. Anna – ”
“Brazil is surely fascinating and dynamic, but above all it makes you reflect, think…and rethink our present and past “civility.” Bruno ”
“Salvador – Africa in exile I chose Bahia because I wanted Africa. I was thirsty for vivid colors, strong contrasts, sinuous bodies and music, lots of music. I had to get free of the gray of a long winter, forget a past that followed me like a bad smell and find a nest to smooth my feathers [...]”
“It’s hard to find the right words to describe all the emotions lived, the amazing images of life, the looks, the colors and flavors, that I would like to be able to remember, the smells of each place, the sensations experienced and the reflections done. Many of these situations were experienced together and I believe words [...]”
“Everything went well and we respected the program provided. The most beautiful aspects were the shows at night in the street, in Salvador, Olinda, and above all in Sao Luis. Music, the people, caipirinhas, various meetings and above all the nature and the sea of Fernando… We complimented you on our 10 days in Bahia [...]”
“What to say…40 days past, during which we shared many things, I would say a lot of things actually. Together we created a little piece of our story within the story of so many others: a story of time, a story of the beauty of nature, a story that passes and one that waits, a [...]”
“I thank from the heart the Cultour staff for their professionalism, commitment, warmth, and the organization of the tour. Thank you for always proposing interesting and original events, places, and meetings. It was a continuous emotion, suspended between being amazed and the curiosity of understanding the culture and the roots of this amazing people. The [...]”
“Let’s talk a little about my trip to Brazil, a trip about the people in Bahia that I liked meeting and whom I don’t want to lose. I want you to know how beautiful, exciting, interesting, captivating, delicious, unique, spectacular, and unprecedented my stay in Salvador was with splendid guides like you, and Marco. My [...]”
“It’s Friday!! I returned a week ago…I recount, describe, explain, show pictures, and beyond the amazement I have in front of me, I discover each day emotions inside me…did I really see, do, try all this? All that? The images overlap and the memories lose their focus… only a week has passed, but it seems like [...]”
“Brazil for me was distant, uncertain and inconsistent. Now it is a land of men, of women, and of life. Where among sounds and happiness, smiles and sensual looks of Bahian women, I can begin to find the certainty of a journey. It is a Brazil of meeting new friends, just like the ones I [...]”
“Dear Marco: I have always dreamed of going to Brazil, fascinated by its colors, its music, and the value of its people. Busy as always in the incessant continuity of daily life, I had preferred other destinations to my “dream,” lack of time was my justification. Finally I managed to find the time to live [...]”
“In Brazil life exists in its original form and nature, music and culture represent a unique paradigm in the world. The Cultour trip let us gather this singularity through a precious and unforgettable contact: that which we had with your people. Rossella – Italy ”
“Hi Marco, I truly thank you…for everything…these are words that sprout with that sensation of melancholy that stays with me for hours. Rhythm, colors, sounds, places, remain in my mind. To know Brazil for me is a necessary step…it is a place in which to lose oneself and sometimes to discover oneself…While I am writing… [...]”
“I came to Brazil unprepared…I didn’t speak or understand a word of this language. Your language. I did not know anything about this country of a thousand colors and flavors. I did not know about your people who had been negatively described my many. But after ten days I started to understand the language and [...]”
“My trip begins with Mangue Seco. Here time stopped, here the emotion exploded, here I took a weight off my heart and found myself. I thank your collaborators, with them I got to know Bahian culture. The history, the traditions, the smiles, the beer, the ocean and also the rain that accompanied us on this trip…and [...]”
