Worth it, great for solo travelers!
I really enjoyed my evening! Alex was the best host. He spoke fluent English and was very knowledgeable. The African folklore show was incredible. I could feel the passion and almost teared up. We had dinner at cuco bistro. The steak was so juicy and delicious. The passion fruit mousse was insane. 10/10 🤩

Exquisite
Stellar performance of capoiera, Candomble, and various forms of Afro-Brazilian dance. The guide was so sweet and helpful. The food at Cuco Bistro was great
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're delighted you enjoyed the folkloric show and dinner experience. It’s wonderful to know the performances and Afro-Brazilian traditions left such a strong impression, and that you felt well taken care of by our guide. Cuco Bistrô truly is a gem—we’re glad you loved the food too! We hope to welcome you back soon for more unforgettable moments in Salvador.

Lovely Evening in Pelourinho
The show was beautiful, the dinner was so delicious and my guide Monia was very knowledgeable and kind! I really enjoyed the evening as a solo traveler and imagine with would have been even more delightful with company.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We're glad you had a memorable evening with Monia — she’s a fantastic guide. It's great to hear you enjoyed the show, the dinner, and felt welcomed even as a solo traveler. We’d love to host you again, next time with company!

DO NOT BOOK
An outrageous price for someone to walk you down the road to a theatre for a show, and then across the road to a restaurant. I learned absolutely nothing about the area. The show was good but if you can book tickets directly for a fifth of the price. In the description of the tour there seemed to be 2 other items that were not even mentioned by our guide.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback about your recent experience with us. We’re sorry to hear the tour did not meet your expectations. Our guide followed the itinerary and provided detailed information about the planned activities as described. However, we understand that you were looking for a more immersive city tour rather than the specific experience we offered. Regarding the additional items you mentioned from the description, we regret any misunderstanding. Our goal is to provide clarity in all our communications, and we will review the tour details to ensure they align with what was delivered. We're glad you enjoyed the show and understand your concern regarding the price. The cost includes the convenience of a curated experience, tickets, and guidance throughout, but we understand if it didn’t provide the value you were seeking. Your feedback is invaluable, and we’ll use it to improve our offerings. If you’d like to discuss this further, feel free to contact us directly. Best regards, marcos

Outstanding Cultural Evening!
Alex was a great guide. He met us promptly at the hotel and was very knowledgeable about the different sections of the performance and meanings of the various performances. His energy and enthusiasm was infectious! The Bale Folklorico was outstanding. The dinner that was included with the tour was at one of the highly recommended restaurants in the historic center. A great evening and I would highly recommend the tour. Make sure to ask for Alex as your guide!

Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Salvador da Bahia.
How much does Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador cost?
+
Prices start at $180 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Salvador da Bahia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Salvador da Bahia is not rushed.
Is Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 17 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Salvador da Bahia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador?
+
Around 6 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Salvador da Bahia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Salvador da Bahia and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Salvador da Bahia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Salvador da Bahia?
+
On Outty we rank every Salvador da Bahia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cooking class in Salvador, fun hands on experience with caips, Salvador Walking Tour Through Pelourinho, Historic City Tour - Half Day in Salvador. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Salvador da Bahia?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Salvador da Bahia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador?
+
Included: Professional guide; Dinner; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Drinks; and Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador offered in?
+
It is offered in Portuguese, English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Cultural Folkloric Show and Dinner in Salvador?
+
