Walking tour of Plateau and Cidade Velha - An informative and interesting cultural tour of Plateau and Cidade Velha. Our guide Antonio was knowledgeable and garrulous, with evident national pride for this friendly and safe country. Look for the live Cabo Verdian music at Plateau.

Perfect tour, great guide - We booked the tour for the morning, but had to reschedule just before to the afternoon because of our flight delay. This went very smoothly, without any problems! The tour itself was great, many thanks to Antonio, our guide! He gave a perfect explanation, showed us everything there was to see and we had really nice conversations about the life in Cabo verde! A great experience!

Great experience in Praia - The experience has been 10, Alex has been very friendly and has taught us many things about the history of Cape Verde, you can see that he really likes what he explains and makes you comfortable. I recommend this tour with this guide and with Antonio who was waiting for us at every stop we made. Very good experience.

Half-day tour for a good first impression of the old and new capital - Very nice half-day tour with nice guide. We had booked the tour in German, but the provider wrote to us that only English-speaking guides are available on our day. That was no problem for us and our guide also knew great English. Since we were there with my cruise ship I have to give another start time. That was no problem. We were traveling all alone with our guide. So it was a private tour for us. Duration was about 4.5 h
