5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide for such an interesting place!, April 13, 2005

By	R. Miranda - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I will be visiting Salvador in a few weeks and I was very worried because I didn't know where I would stay or what type of food I would eat. I also didn't know where to look for some romance though I have been told that in Brazil there are 3 women for every man and that you fall in love everyday. I had a lot of information about Brazil but not the little details that you need to feel at ease. I purchased the book Salvador for Partiers and I was delighted with all the tips and ideas the author offers. For example, the author goes into a lot of details regarding food, snack, beverages, fruits, candy, etc. He includes pictures of just about all the main types of foods you will encounter in Salvador and it not only made me hungry but it made me feel more confident because now I will be able to figure out the different foods on a menu without having to ask the waiter. Now, if you want to find romance while in Salvador, the author mentions many useful tips about the different types of girls you will find. He also has a section where he tells you to which bars, clubs, street parties you should go, how you should dress, age range of people there, and the "approach index" each of these places has. The book is full of pictures of very beautiful places like Pelourinho, the beaches, the street parties, and it also has a few maps. There is a very complete "street price guide" for those like me that don't like to get ripped off while on vacation. I really have enjoyed this book and I have showed it to my family and it has peaked their interest in Salvador. Even if you are going to another place in Brazil, I think you would learn a lot from this book and you will definitely want to visit there sometime after reading about all the wonders this place has to offer. If you want a fun, easy-to-read book with very detailed information about Salvador, you will enjoy "Salvador For Partiers" and you will feel more confident about traveling there on your own.

2.0 out of 5 stars Come on Guys! , June 3, 2007

By	otserick (Bordentown, New Jersey) - See all my reviews

This book is produced by pretty much the same team that produced the excellent "Rio for Partiers". Surprisingly, it has much the same content - literally. It also is riddled with so many typographical errors, it appears as if it was assembled in a careless, mad rush. There is relatively little here on Salvador or Bahia and what there is lacks the knowing sophistication of the Rio book. Come on guys, do a second edition and do it RIGHT.

4.0 out of 5 stars The inside view of Salvador, not just for partiers, November 5, 2006

By	Adenike Cumberland (Arverne, New York USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book was very helpful for my recent trip to Salvador da Bahia. Because I was given the inside view I didn't have any surprises, it prepairs you for the foods, the people, the taxis the beggers, everything. The book does have a lot of typeo's and some missing page numbers. That is made up for by the humor and the vivid pictures. It is a very quick read, but very informative and helpful, for everyone not just partiers!
