A Perfect Island Tour - I had an amazing day on this tour. I was only in São Tomé a few days and I wanted to see some sights outside of the island efficiently. This tour was perfect. I saw beaches and jungles, crabs and birds, crashing waves and towering mountains, the sea and the equator. I learned a bit about São Tomé's history and present.
It was perfect and fun. Would 100% recommend.

Essential tour of São Tomé - Sipson wad an excellent guide, taking me around São Tomé to see all the highlights south of the island. He was knowledgeable and easy going, happy to answer questions. He was also a skilled driver, which is needed with the rugged road conditions. I'd recommend him to anyone visiting the island.

Essential tour for STP - Sipson took me on this south island tour to see the highlands of São Tomé and was definitely the highlight of the trip. The sights were really cool and Sipson was an excellent guide and skilled driver for the road conditions. Sipson also helped me organise a separate tour to the northern part of the island which was also great - reach out to him directly!

An Unforgettable Day in Sao Tome & Principe! - We had such a wonderful day traveling with Sipson in Sao Tome & Principe, one of the smallest countries that we knew nothing prior to our trip. Sipson was the best guide we could have hoped for. In the limited hours, Sipson showed us the highlights of his country: it's natural beauty, from mountains to beaches, it's history of early day plantations (and the ruins) , and the unique life of local people today. The vast palm tree farm/forest was stunning, and the scenes of local women wash and dry clothes by the river was certainly one-of-a-kind. The favorite word of the locals - LEVE, LEVE (take it light or take it easy) - perhaps captures the very essence of their simple yet abundant living... We only wish we could stay longer to learn more about this fascinating island nation. Thank you again Sipson, for creating this unforgettable eye-opening experience for us and with us!

Heartfelt Appreciation for an Exceptional Tour Guide - I would like to express my sincere gratitude for assigning Astrogildo Mota as my tour guide. He was truly exceptional.
He is incredibly polite, gentle, well-behaved, and remarkably knowledgeable. He speaks excellent English and is genuinely a kind and thoughtful person. Throughout the entire journey, he took care of every detail with patience and professionalism, and he made my trip truly memorable.
I strongly recommend him to anyone who is looking for a tour guide. He is absolutely the best, and I kindly suggest that future guests mention his name when submitting their booking—because having him as a guide will genuinely elevate the whole experience.
Thank you once again for such a wonderful arrangement.

Good São Tome tour - Very nice tour to the south of São Tomé. Our guide ensured we saw many of the sites and was even willing to change money for us to make a few purchases. Sipson recommended good photo opportunities. He was flexible with the itinerary since we had to get back on our ship by a certain time I recommend this guide.

Very disappointing despite initial communication - I was very disappointed with our tour booked through Sipson tours. I had high expectations given all the reviews. I had contacted Sipson months ago - as we were arriving by cruise ship and I wanted to ensure availability. Despite being informed we were the first booking, when we arrived we were handed off to a different guide, Fred, who unfortunately spoke very little English and understood even less. Although I had received an itinerary in advance, he did not (or was not able to) explain where we were heading or what we were seeing. To top it off, his driving was some of the worst I have ever experienced, hairing along and not slowing even through the villages until, tired of hanging on for grim death, I finally yelled at him to slow down. The engine light was on in the vehicle the whole tour and as we were on a cruise ship I was worried about whether we would make it back safely or not. São Tomé is a beautiful island with an incredible history. I just wish we had been able to learn more about what we were seeing so we were able to enjoy our time more. I also think there may have been some different things we could have seen that were not included in the tour, for example the cocoa plantation.
