A brilliant day out! - This tour was amazing, Jane and the driver picked us up first thing and gave us an in depth for around the island to areas I had not seen before (have been there 3 times before). Jane was full of history and such an absolute joy to be around, made the day into a real great experience, we felt so comfortable with them. I would definitely give this a go!!!! Thank you Jane and your highly skilled driver, you are both amazing!

Fun and interesting tour of North Boa Vista - Fabulous half day tour of North Boa Vista. Our guide Jane was fun and knowledgeable, it was fascinating to hear about Cape Verde history and local life. The vehicle was comfortable and 'Cousin' was a great driver. Recommended!

Amazing!!!!! - Incredible experience, we did two tours with them and the result was fantastic, it is a local agency with local guides, with a lot of experience on the island, and who discover things that surely with other agencies, you will not discover, is the importance of having local guides. They take great care of the details, the cars are very clean, they are always aware of your needs, and they avoid making the Tour, as pleasant as possible, and they get it!!!! In our case, the guides were Alex and Cleiton, two exceptional boys, with a great sense of humor, very professional, and who made us feel like friends, we will never forget them. Thanks for taking our vacation. Much nicer.

Amazing and fantastic tour guide. - We had the honor of being shown around Boa Vista by Ndiouga, we've never had such an amazing and friendly guide before, he took the time to explain everything, answered all our questions and took us to an amazing local place where we had lunch. Ndiouga is literally the definition of #NoStress!

Definitely not worth of the money. Not the best itinerary. Nothing but the trip provided. - Accompanists where good guy but i felt the experience a little approximate. First issue is the sequence of places showed, they are not the best choise for the island. 2nd, the road run in the trip are very bad, the landscape has nothing charming (apart some beach), the 2 town are quite sad (one is a ghost town). I say this having done a similar tour with another operator and having get much more value for similar price. 3rd point: when you do a tour like this you expect more informations and explanations, these definitively lacked. Lunch was not included in the tour, we could have it in provacao vehla, but we de linea because the restaurants where not appealing, just for comparison, in the other tour we di 2 days later, a good fish lunch was incuded in the price of the activity (similar) and provided in a nice beach restaurant.
