Reviving childhood memories in Africa - One day on the island of Sal with Carla. A Carla, Guia da Mr. Friend Tours picked us up at the entrance to the resort, presented the program and we set off for a surprising experience. We started by the Salinas de Santa Maria, we went to the Kitesurf School, we went to several viewpoints, we saw the "leaning lion", sea turtles, we went to the Mirage, Buracona (blue eye), fishing village, and we went to lunch in a typical local restaurant and very nice (extra). After lunch we resume the tour, with the visit to the Salinas de Pedra de Lume (within the crater of an extinct volcano), followed by the "interaction" with the Lemon Shark, ending at the Miradour of Espargo (radar tower). An unforgettable day, a refreshing experience, which I truly recommend... Our great thanks to Carla and Mr. Friend Tours, for this experience we will not forget!... Strong hugs and soon

Está tudo dreito!! ❤️ - I had an amazing experience with Mr. Friends Tours during the Full Day tour on Sal Island! From the very beginning, we were welcomed with professionalism and kindness, and our guide, Carla, exceeded all expectations. She was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the local history and culture but also made the experience even more special with her authenticity and attention to detail. We felt safe and well taken care of throughout the entire tour, and she went out of her way to adapt the itinerary to our needs. One of the highlights of the day was lunch – we enjoyed fresh fish and a delicious cachupa at a memorable restaurant, a perfect choice by Carla. Without a doubt, I highly recommend Mr. Friends Tours to anyone visiting Sal. I will definitely book with them again on my next visit and will recommend them to everyone looking for an unforgettable experience! Wishing you all much success!

Island tour with Mr Friend, 5* - Was unsure whether to book an island tour with Mr Friend or Tui, but so glad we booked a private family tour with Mr Friend. We had the use of inside and the back of the truck to ourselves, which was great as parts of the tour were very dusty. Hana, our guide was very friendly and very knowledgeable. We did the main town, salt lake, blue eye, lemon sharks, botanical gardens and more. We paid to get in to the main attractions ourselves as this wasn’t included, but we feel we got very good value for money. 100% recommend this company 😊

Amazing tour - Highly recommend this tour! Out driver and photographer were very friendly and knowledgeable and got to show us a big portion of the island within a day. We got a private tour with 5 people and it was very nice. Both guys told us some nice information and took us to all the nice places. I would tell anyone who is visiting Cabo Verde to book a tour, with Mr.friends. Mr. Africa was very friendly and arranged for us an amazing day.
