The hotel complex is spacious and opens directly on to the neighboring hotel. Everything is clean and tidy. We have the hotel than badehotel after an exhausting trip and were not disappointed. We were from sunday until friday and other (here read) statements confirm, that during the week relatively empty and quiet and at the weekend the hotel full of brazilians is, the really the sow rauslassen.

    We had a standard room and were completely satisfied. Room was very big and clean. Tv was still tube, but we hardly used it. Balcony was also nice and big. Bath tub unfortunately already somewhat worn and discolored. When the water in the bathtub (at the same time shower) little pressure and it is hardly anything from the shower head. Friends had a junior suite, the no bathtub, but only a shower had.

  • Gastronomy

    There is a buffet for breakfast/lunch/dinner and for the dinner 4 à la carte restaurants, in which you as a function of the übernachtungsanzahl book must. We were in the steak house and the japanese and both fully recommend. At lunch and in the afternoon there was still 1 snack bar, in the the offered food however, go far beyond snacks beyond. Breakfast and lunch we should really a another pool restaurant, in the week was the but closed, since the hotel was not booked up. Also in the main restaurant there were during the week less food, but only from the quantity, not the variety. In general very good choice (national and international cuisine) and quality of food, no matter what time and everything very nice decorated. Everything was always refilled and it was never a bit all. Alcohol gave it actually everything, what you can imagine in the best of international quality.

    Supposedly the hotel language be english, but not at all true. At the reception we were in german, otherwise one gets ahead neither with german nor english great further. Of advantage it is, if you can speak spanish or just portuguese. However (almost ) the entire staff is very friendly and it is always somehow to the objective, it takes only sometimes a bit longer. Also the entertainment is mostly in portuguese, sometimes some other languages declared. The cleaning of the rooms was dependent on the cleaning lady. Great top and then again (despite tip) only the most necessary and here and there which forget (shower not replenished or mat forget). All in all is however everything cleanly and is every day cleaned properly. Unfortunately had we our suit-cases whilst checking out drag ourselves, since we after a three-quarters rate not the bell boy want to wait and already 2 times and 1 times the front desk had inquired.

This was my 3. stay in the Iberostar Bahia. The hotel is still in top condition. The a la carte restaurants are excellent. Unfortunately, the choice in the buffet a bit deteriorated. This time we were only middle of february in Brazil. The summer holidays of the brazilians were to end and the hotel relatively weak occupied (many brazilian families with small children, a lot of french people, little german). Twice fell delegates of companies (dow-chemical and cielo) with hundertschaften as grasshoppers for several days the hotel and took in restaurants and bars little respect for guests.

Successful completion of our Brazil-trip

  • January 2013
To Rio, amazon and Salvador da Bahia, this was our 4. and last station in Brazil and a very successful complete our Brazil-trip. The Iberostar Bahia is a very nice laid out resort. Parallel to the beach runs the main building with reception, lobby and lobby bar and small shops, as well as with the restaurants. The three blocks with the rooms. This got lost in the right angle from the mainbuilding from to the sea %blank%. Roughly speaking, as a lying 'e'. The buildings were 3-storied (including ground floor), on each floor there are 68 rooms. Although the hotel ... with over 600 rooms very big is, is it due to the division loosened and the guests spread with good occupancy. Depending on the location of the room, one has also times few steps more to the restaurants. But even when it rains you can always a dry walk through the arrangement of the individual buildings. The Iberostar Bahia the Iberostar Praia do Forte a doppelanlage. The whole include (private?) Apartamentos and casas. The guests come predominantly from Brazil and other south american countries, mainly Argentina. Europeans, some italians and a few germans. Near our stay was initially holidays in Brazil, so that vast brazilian families were there. At the end of our stay there was a large abreisewelle. Then came also larger groups for certain events, then it can at night of the lobby-bar also busy and noisy. But after the breakfast until the afternoon in your event, so that the pool area then empty and quiet. Overall these groups or events for us not disturbing. The complex is large enough, around always a quiet spot to find (if one would like this). read more

    Our room was in top floor accomodated in the living block 1 and had sea view. The rooms are spacious, well equipped with plenty of storage space in the closet and chest of drawers. Safe (free of charge) available. Mini bar every 2. days was filled up. Tv available with german channels. Really great our bath was with even shower (instead of shower or bathtub). Big sink with a lot of shelve space. Hair dryer is available. Rooms and particularly the bathroom were very clean. Enough towels available, which were regularly changed. Than seating a sofa, as well as a small table with chair available. On the balcony also table with chairs available.

  • Gastronomy
    5.0

    The food is good, but especially the show cooking is the main thing. The restaurant is air-conditioned. ' Mare nostrum' with mediterranean cuisine. Air-conditioned restaurant. Before and the gastronomy is that's why very varied, as it is next to the buffet still 3 specialty restaurants there. In the main restaurant is breakfast, lunch and dinner in buffet form enough. There were stops, where morning fresh eggs or tapioca or to the other meals fish and meat be grilled. Similarly, pizza and pasta always freshly made. The buffet is varied and good. From the atmosphere is the main restaurant of course rather simple, since large and the self service at the buffet also loud. But it is clean and the used plates or the tables were cleared very quickly and newly restocked. Drinks served. If one-if it was full – sometimes longer waits for anything, can order drinks also a art counter yourself. For the specialty restaurants you had to reserve (free). For a week stay you have three reservations. If this' tired ' are, you could put on a list and in the afternoon at 17:00 hours ask, whether one place has. With us the work. Japanese restaurant 'sakura '. There are about 15 persons for a cooking area. There are 6 such burners available, the staggered times will be assigned, so that the restaurant is not overcrowded. As a starter there is sushi and fried vegetables. The main course, the chef prepares then the guests the fried rice and vegetables, as well as meat and fish on the grill plates too, but you have two types of choose from meat or fish must. Dessert there was in buffet form. Dessert buffet, the main course à-la-carte. The restaurant is nicely decorated and nicely set tables. There is a silent and relaxed atmosphere. Our favorite: the steakhouse. This evening in a the pool-restaurants addressed. Therefore a open (not air-conditioned) restaurant. Also here starters (salads and warm starters) and dessert in buffet form. The meat dishes à la carte from the grill. Really great food, the nicely set tables. We enjoyed it here at the best. Next to the main restaurant there were two open restaurants by the pool, the from noon until early evening small meals and fast food in self-service offer, for small hunger occasionally. Drinks are available at the lobby bar from 09:00 in the morning until 01:00 at night are also served. It can in the evening also very crowded (and noisy) with longer waiting times. We are in the Havana-bar establishments. It is a cigar lounge and accordingly quiet it is here. Next to it there were drinks during the day at of the pool bar and in the evening during the show at the theater bar, or in the disco.

    The service is good in all areas, even if the fremdsprachenkenntnissen a bit lacking. English language skills were mainly with the staff the front desk available, otherwise almost not at all. But that didn't bother us. It is also 'with hands and feet' further. Our room we found with the help of the english description by the front desk and the monitoring by the (not english-speaking) bellboy easily (we are just behind him run here ☺. The check in went on fast, we had to but rather for a long time on our room wait, since we already at 11:00 hours in the hotel arrived. For the long wait we were then but with a particularly beautiful rooms' rewards '. Room cleaning was done every day and very good, can but also times in the afternoon, especially on days, if lots of guests from and arriving by. Since we during the day as well as on the rooms are, was the but it didn't matter. A complaint, which we before dinner at the front desk have made, was after dinner already taken care of. Especially by the pool there is a very attentive service. In spite of the actual pool bar and a further drink station next to the pool, is regularly staff and asked, whether one would like to drink something. Often you also with trays full water, Cola, beer and so on. To distribute. Draught beer is the 'mobile bierstation' -a mobile beer tap, the regularly by the liegenstuhlreihen pushed. Also is just a chef and distributed small cups with fresh shrimp or with small grilled fishy.

    There are three pools in the hotel. The activities pool and a separate pool with a pool bar is located between buildings 1 and 2 the pool between the blocks 2 and 3. furthermore, there is a rectangular pool specifically for ball games. The pools are nicely laid out with plenty of pool chairs and umbrellas. More shady spots under trees are available. The activities pool runs the daily entertainment from. It is varied and is well accepted. Here it is somewhat louder, but also entertaining. Who likes it more calmly, can at the pool hedge. This is also beautifully put on and also offers enough pool chairs. In regular intervals there were showers available. At the beach is only a smaller part with beach chairs and sun screens occupied, the from the staff of the hotel on demand are established. Beautiful, bright beach with fine sand. The sea through the strong surf rather for swimming than suitable for swimming. With a bit of caution makes bathing in the waves but a lot of fun. Every evening there was changing shows. It is the usual program with music, dance or games and is very entertaining. Before the show 'mini club' and music. Furthermore, there were 2 billiard tables, and a room with table games (lady, chess), as well as a small library (also german books) available.

    The complex is right at the beach. Apart from the two Iberostar-hotel there is no further hotels. Back about 3 kilometer further in the town of praia do forte. In this place is also the only shopping possibilities outside of the hotel. A former small fishing village, but with a small pedestrian zone and corresponding stores, restaurants and small hotels or pousadas to a small holiday centre has developed. You can easily on foot about 3 kilometer at the beach along the town. There is also a project for the protection of sea turtles, the one can visit. To the other side at the beach along you can go for kilometer long beach walks without further hotels or other development. Only blue sea, brighter beach and behind palms-a beach as from a brochure. Transfer time from the airport about 1 hour.

    Our room was big and spotlessly clean. There was even a large closet with a built-in safe. The bathroom was large and clean. The towels were changed daily. Only the bath was quite worn and should occasionally be renewed. The bed was very wide and the mattress seemed to be quite new, but it was for us too hard. But who 's like, it' s good...

    In the hotel there is a buffet restaurant and several other restaurants. So you can japanese, mediterranean or in a steackhaus evening meals... In the buffet restaurant was the food always good and there was almost every day a theme night. Sometimes mexican, sometimes african and so on. So we are actually always full and satisfied with the table gone. Especially highlighted the huge fruit. From apples to papaya and other tropical delights was so quite everything, which one could wish for... To drink there was wine, beer, juice and the 'usual' non-alcoholic drinks. Even sparkling wine was on request enough!

    The Iberostar Bahia is located in the Iberostar resort outside of bahia. To the village it at the beach along about 3 kilometer, but only at low tide is possible. Outside of the hotel area there are a lot of building sites for apartments, from which you in the hotel itself but noticed nothing. To Salvador it takes about an hour with the taxi, after bahia about 15 minutes.

There is a main restaurant and four specialty restaurant. All are very recommendable. The hotel has two large pool areas and a activities pool. The pools are all top reasonable. At all pools are enough chairs available whereas the white times should be replaced because some broken. The beach is lovely. You can in both directions walk for miles. For swimming was the sea ... not so good for very strong surf. In the hotel are too many brazilian with lots of children guests. We were without child but what we observed as with children is handled is just great. The entertainers really cared the whole day excellent for the children. Also otherwise is the entertainment good and if you can't be bothered is left alone. The evening entertainment is quite good as well. At the front desk English spoken some can also German. Apart from that few understand English and German almost not at all. One comes but nevertheless well. We felt in the hotel very comfortable the whole staff are always friendly and helpful. In the hotel you can a shuttle bus rent and in praia do forte to drive. Where you can have a schildkrötenstation visit and stroll around. It is also possible along the beach to walk about 1 hour up there. Otherwise we have two excursions made to Salvador and cachoeira. Were both very nice. We have the excursions when TUI booked it goes but also with other organizers. With the tour operator the TUI have we not so good experience made. read more

The complex is quite large but relatively clean. The paths to the beach or restaurants were far (was for us however not a problem). On arrival in the hotel were unfortunately no soft drinks were offered. The check in was quick, information about the hotel also in german will be distributed. You will be asked, whether a room on the 2. floor is ok. Unfortunately, we have 2 hours on the luggages waited. Internet access is subject to charges (and not cheap).

    We had a junior suite, but these enthätl in comparison to the other rooms only a prom. Seating area (you must not have). The rooms are big with enough sturaum. Safe deposit box in the closet. The mini bar is not every day filled. On the balcony there is a small table and unfortunately only one chair (was) prom. Also a possibility to hang up things aren. The bathroom is ok and had enough counter space. The bath mats in the tub should be replaced. The towels are changed on a daily basis. The beds are wide and in my opinion a little hard. The bed is a simple blanket in bed sheets knocked out, these smelled so extremely to dust, that we could not sleep (thanks to tips they were exchanged). The air conditioning the htl, controlled and can in 3 stages be switched on. On the television dw. Unfortunately no coffee maker, no iron in the room. Electricity with 220 v, an adapter for plug sockets necessarily. The cleaning was good (tip is the magic word)

    Next to the main restaurant are in the hotel speciality restaurants. The dishes were everywhere good and you will find mostly tasty dishes. The kitchen is doing a good job. For dinner you get in the main restaurant not all drinks, the desire for an orange juice has developed into the problem. The atmosphere in the main restaurant was like in a cafeteria, in the specialty restaurants it looked differently and pleasant. The hygiene is alright, unfortunately prefer many brazilian guests the hands rather than cutlery at the buffet. The hotel occupancy high, i had the lunch in the restaurants at the beach the feeling on Ballermann -really a shame.

    The service leaves a lot to be desired. The maid and the beach boy were top (perhaps due to tip ), the staff the front desk were ok and spoke partly also german. In the bars is partially not enough staff. The staff in the specialty restaurants is friendly and attentive, which one from the staff in the main restaurant can't say. Here you feel like a cafeteria. The staff has not really feel like doing to work, hardly a smile, no organization, compatriots are preferred. If you get up from the table to get something to eat, it can be, that the table is cleared, no cutlery any more, or even the chair away. We have never stayed in a star hotel papierservieten for dinner received. Beautifully covered tables you can in the main restaurant forget. During a hotel extent of utilization from about 50% work here nothing at all. The kitchen comes with the food for example fruit not after. A ice-cream scoop a was not available (only spoon) and a bread measurer is eventually disappeared. At about 2 days the hotel was relatively empty, then everything is great and just in this period we rating sheet to complete receive.

At the main pool are however very many beach chairs, the very close together are. The reservation loungers by the pool also found took place here, as we the beach prefer, we didn't bother us. The pool is cleaned daily, nevertheless it smelled sometimes of chlorine. Children in the kids club and we had the feeling, that they had. The animation is good. At the beach finds no animation and it was pleasantly quiet. Beach chairs, umbrellas and showers are in sufficient numbers available.

    The hotel is from the airport in Salvador about 1 hour away by train. Nearby there is no possibility for going out. In the hotel there are several shops (beachwear shop, small gifts, jewelry, 'kiosk'). Some restaurants and shops are in praia about 4 kilometer from the hotel in the hotel you can a shuttle book (outward and return journey circa 6 Euro/person). In praia is the turtle nursery, a small church, currency exchange (sunday And monday First open from 12 o'clock) and lots of shops (prices were partly very high for example a blouse for circa 200 Euro). The beach at the hotel is clean, nice and almost empty. Enough sunbeds us umbrellas available. Some chairs are was worn out, but the beach boy would change this without any problems from.

    1 main restaurant and four restaurant which one additionally could reserve, the food as well as the specialty restaurants (japanese, gourmet, mediterranean, steakhouse) were all very good, always fresh fish, show cooking, great dessert buffet, in the morning, fresh fruit juice, very good quality. There were always also brazilian specialities. Also here the employees always friendly and were happy about a tip, this is however not the precondition for great service.

    Very friendly, always tried help, room was cleaned thoroughly, on request they directly reacted (for example more water in the room), fremdsprachenkenntnisse are the only essential point where you in our opinion still had to work, at the front desk a good german speaking staff, otherwise usually someone who speaks english-but not always. In the restaurants neither english speaking even german speaking staff. Still very hard help in every aspect, still very well in the assessment.

    Three pools (quiet pool, pool for water sports and the pool with a swim up bar and animation). At the quiescent pool is also the entertainment for kids - so really it is quiet rather the chairs on the beach-side. But always enough chairs. The fitness studio is well equipped and the equipment was mostly alright. During the day there is an animation program, but not pushy and evening shows (they were ok). There is a disco but it was at the time not much visited, in other words for the singles, the evening often against eleven to end (for people who party it is rather the wrong hotel), very comfortable outdoor area with a fountain at the drinks are also served, a cosy bar behind it with live music before the show begins. Very good drink menu (Baileys, Johnny Walker, good cocktails, champagne, not everything but well stocked). Shopping possibilities were also in the hotel, a small bottle of suncream (150 milliliters ) 25-30 Euro, internet was possible but very slow. In four weeks was the swim in the sea not possible, very high waves and undertows, you should already know.

    Located directly at the beach, no firm chairs on the beach, as this naturschutzgründen is forbidden, but there were beach chairs set up, 10 metres away from the sea on the complex beach chairs with direct sea view, to us nicer than directly at the beach to lie. Very nice place nearby to go shopping, either at the beach along about 1 hour to walk or with the bus for 15 rs per person or with the taxi for 30 rs per way. The schildkrötenauffangstation is very pleasant designed-we would you recommend.

    In my 2. visit i can only rave about. The bahianer are the liebenswerteste people, which i ever to become acquainted with were allowed. So much friendliness and warmth and human warmth experienced otherwise really nowhere! Yes, they spoke mostly english, but even those, with which you not a single common word in any language, endeavour and it somehow ready. A friendly smile and more is always. I was deeply moved by that. Only exemplary are three particularly love people from of the lobby-bar called: neto, Bruno, elainy. Here no wishes remain unfulfilled! If you have open displays, his heart opens, smiles and friendly, flies the heart of bahianer only to. And this is, that i could say, not professional fake warmth, but a draught.

    The complex is right on the endless dream beach and just perfect! There you can parasailing beach walks, without a people. Simply magnificent...! You go to the right, one reaches the small village of praia do forte, but quite touristy, so that it this year not visited. From Salvador da Bahia airport you can travel approximately one hour, depending on traffic. Next to the hotel there is the 2. hotel Iberostar, praia do forte (i some days spent, and i was glad, then go back to the bahia return to may). Otherwise nothing-if you are looking for a hotel with next to the other, or fears, is in the most pleasant way possible be surprised! Excursions in the hotel, as usual, of the large tour operators offered, but i can only the tip, the already given many have: make your excursions with Luis, a very sympathetic brazilian, the individual tours offered! More below under tips and recommendations.

Every morning freshly squeezed juices, mixed, relaxation, after special requests prepared. Delicious! Over one or another tip the team clearly. The cocktailauswahl is big and tasty!

    Directly at the beach. In about 4 kilometer away is the fishing village of praia do forte. The place starts at the lighthouse. Here lies the aufzuchtzentrum the sea turtles. In the town you can go shopping and also which eating and drinking. Sunday morning is worth a visit to the exhibition centre. The church is right at the beginning of the place. Because of the temperatures could handle it not long, but it is an experience. In the other direction is to around 6 to 7 kilometer another small fishing village to reach. The airport is approximately 50 minutes away drive. To Salvador itself needs's 70 minutes

My wife (57) and I (61) are a lot of traveled in our life. This is one of the best hotels, which we met have. The only problem: the infrastructure ( possibilities) outside of the hotel are almost not available. The next possibility for shopping, going out. Is Praia do Forte, indicated Raxi for 30 Real ( a way). The infrastructure inside of the hotel is very good. There is shops and 4 themes restaurants. Disco and daily shows make life. I have once so described' the hotel is a Palace and we are the king'. As described above it ... is only nearby drab. Salvador de Bahia a daytrip and almost a must, lack alternative nearby. Our vacation was so designed, that we a week Rio de Janeiro on own fist had visited. This was run and much impression, the was left. Iberostar Bahia was there more than actual relaxation thought. That fit perfect! For us a totally successful holiday, despite the stress of flying, the US to a weiterern future Brasilienurlaub animated should. read more

2 unforgettable weeks in Brazil

  • 4.2 / 6

  • May 2012
We (2 persons) goods in the first half for two weeks in Brazil, in Praia do Forte. It was our first trip outside Europe's and a fantastic experience. The hotel: The complex is very spacious and makes a good impression. It is literally right in the beach over. Inside of the hotel it can get very loud close. The locals guests are in their attitudes to perhaps sometimes a bit too casual, -but this is Brazil! You meet completely itself 'party' and sociability, or one decides for peace and the endless beach and the feeling, the world is appropriate for ... one to feet. The hotel lies however isolated. In the town of Praia do Forte to come, one runs either about 4 kilometer the dreamlike beach along or you can take a taxi ( for 15 Euro). Our room was big and a pleasant atmosphere. The staff are always attentive, the expectations the European tourists meet. The food: also we as a vegetarian always had plenty of choice, the large offer at exotic fruit we found great. That is what is lacking now in Germany. What we don't miss, the Brazilian manners: food at the buffet with hands touch, naked at the table sit. In the place one can also find good food, but it was worth it absolutely, to order in the restaurant to inquire, what exactly in the meal in it or on it. Language One comes (mainly outside of the hotel) with German or English not always navigate, so it is recommendable nonetheless, a bit Portuguese from the travel guide to learn. Excursions: We have two excursions on the internet posted: a day trip in the nearby located city Salvador da Bahia (60 kilometer away) and a 2-day tour flight to Rio de Janeiro, both under the German speaking travel guide from Luis Santos. Both excursions we can sincerely recommend. Since we didn't have to strenuous program wanted, Mr Santos both tours with larger breaks ( always at the beach) put together. Salvador: wonderful, not too large, offering a clear view city. We saw lots of interesting buildings and squares and the historic market. Mr Santos all possible information about the story of the city from his iPad, and we had a the feeling, the issue between the rich and the poor, and their links with the Brazilian story to understand. Particularly beautiful was the rather random encounter with capoeira dancers in the district of pelourinho and our spontaneous decision, US evenings in a theater a capoeira idea to look at-an absolutely impressive great performance. For our tourist guide it meant the extension of his working day, but he was willing to. Strong praise! Rio de Janeiro, 2-day tour The flights and transfer folded smoothly. From the hotel in Rio we should not expect too much, but for one night it was reasonable. Luis Santos led us first the Sugarloaf, then to the famous beach Copacabana. Evenings a small city tour in the dark to sunset, on the second day a large city tour with many sights, always with a lot of information from the iPad, also on the story with the Portuguese. In short: hotel and excursions for a relaxing and varied vacation by all means recommendable! read more

On the whole it is a very well run hotel, the specified stars. If you disregarded, the on the weekend half Brazil the hotel with bag and baggage raids and you wondered the still no food in the pool swims (, although forbidden ) the hotel is recommendable, one has actually many with hideouts and an empty beach. read more

We( couple 46/46, no children ) were for the first time in Brazil. The hotel enjoys a spaciousness and size, so that every guest either the peace, he searches, enjoy or however the animation program can use. We wanted a relaxing vacation and felt in this hotel very in good hands. The beach is simply a one-off, hikes on people empty Broad beach, the palm grove lined will, has us deeply impressed and excited. Evenings we stayed at the bar of high quality alcohol ( therefore worth mentioning, because it is not in all Ibero star houses so is) and ... quiet and beautiful location can enjoy, with silent untermalender life-music. Pure relaxation! Up to the show in the evening we have never managed, the but also not miss it. the eating of our two opinions apart. The three of us visited topicsrestaurants were OK, but stayed in the quality behind the usual standard of other Ibero star hotel. Only the gourmet restaurant did show. The main restaurant was good, better we liked however the restaurant at the beach, which always diverse auftischte. from Germany we ourselves, with the anytime again in the reviews highly acclaimed and German speaking Brazilian travel guide via Internet in connection set and a trip to Salvador da Bahia, as well as a two day trip to Rio de Janeiro posted. In the planning designed the contact very without any complications. Has on our first trip to Salvador da Bahia-the Peter found high expectations, because of the reviews -not fulfilled. In Luis a very good German speaking Brazilian-but no travel guide! For the six-hour trip to Salvador we have 85,00 euros per person paid and a tour, which, in our view, that they listless carried out and very superficially was. we support the review from Sebastian at. The knowledge of story the city was very superficially, which later when our trip to Rio again Bewahrheit should and of negative points topped. Picked us up with a other couple early in the morning in the hotel and showed is also located at the beginning of the trip indisposed. As we both during the taxi ride from our traveling companions found out, promised them, even before we had booked, a trip to a Harley Davidson store. The 'forgot' he probably will tell us. In Rio was the transfer to our stays not been resolved. Finally, instead of the buses to take a taxi. The questions about the lifestyles and cost of the Brazilian answer he rather evasive and also here again indifferent. Finally we arrived early in the morning in a hotel, the standard of clean youth hostel had, definitely not more, rather less. We found initial neither towels still Körperhygieneartikel in the hotel before, towels were refilled, the rest we had to locality, although assured, that these things which. In our room the dirty air conditioning not, but because of the dirty condition probably a fluke was. Following the visit of Zuckerhutes we share in line with, the then planned visit on corcovado because of the cloud formation on the next morning wanted to defer. With this intervention in the Besichtigungsplan came visibly badly clearly. Drove with our tour guides at 9:30 Hours for Harley Davidson shop, our paths separated itself. By chance we met in the evening again in front of the hotel, apart from that had we him to only the next morning at 9:00 o'clock seen again. On the missing tour guide was totally unapologetic and attempted, the well traveled couples the blame to give. This culminated in the statement from, that he only with Brazilians, but not more German shops made would. Under the dash we had the trip to Rio without any problems without make and saved a lot of money and a better accommodation had. Thank god we had a travel guide and could therefore without any problems Rio on your own explore, since the tour guide not occur. The mood on the last Rio day was at its lowest ebb, we all had the feeling, that Luis alone to the airport risks would be, as many points manifested, but too detailed in the description would be. After arrival in Salvador da Bahia, he has caused us wordless to the hotel back. Never turned Luis of us-, as well as the friend who travelled with us couples -expressed points of criticism. read more
