Lots of local flavor - Jose gave us a true picture of how the people of Santiago live. We made several stops where the locals stop. He gave us ample opportunities at scenic locations for photograph. We had a fantastic day.

An organized and progressive country. - A week on the island of Santiago allowed you to know the city of Praia but also the Old Town and the Tarrafal Museum. We had planned to go to Fire Island but, difficulties in the air connection, prevented us from achieving this goal.
The town of the beach was a very pleasant surprise.

Dangerous, irresponsible, and none responsive vendor! - Do not use this outfit! The hired driver literally tried to put us in a car with a man he met at the port and had no evidence of insurance. Be careful!
