Book it - we had a fabulous day - Booked with Get your Guide App. Had an email and Whatsapp from BU Country tour giving us more precise information. Collected on time. Five people on the tour. Our tour guides Miguel and Gersan were excellent and very informative. Had enough time everywhere. We visited all the tourist attractions and yes, there were other groups but honestly didn't matter. We tried some liquor and coffee in a gift shop and had the added bonus of a wonderful lunch in Mamma Elsa's home. What a wonderful idea. Great value for money. Tour guides were great. We really enjoyed our day.

Best Option to get to know the Island - Best day of my vacation so far. You get to see so many cool things like the sharks and the Buracona. My Guide Miguel explained everything to me and made this trip a fantastic experience. Best thing was the saltbath in Pedra Lume and the local lunch in Espargos. I would recommend this trip to everyone who visits Sal.
