Fantastic Tour - I'd highly recommend - This is such an amazing tour where you see most of São Tomé's main highlights! Luis is a local and super knowledgable about the island. You will learn so much and get to see the island in a fun and relaxing way.

A wonderful day trip in Sao Tome - We visited every attractions that we asked for. Luis Miguel was there when we needed. Our guide Ayrist was accommodating and knowledgeable. Our car broke down during the trip and Luis responded promptly to rescue us. Traveling in a SUV is much better than in a large bus. It's an excellent tour overall.

Best guide in Sao Tome - Luis is THE guide to go with for Sao Tome. He is incredibly knowledgeable, friendly and very good at what he does! Luis was 10/10 he came to pick me up from the airport when I arrived and then a couple days later we did the east/south coast island tour in which pick up was arranged and drop off at the next hotel. Luis knew all the best sites and ensured the tour had a wide range of different locations with enough time at each. It was great to see a mixture of the local sites and the beautiful natural sites of Sao Tome. During my stay in Sao Tome I did a range of tours/activities with out guides/companies, for my next visit I will book everything with Luis. His professionalism and organisation far exceeded expectations and was the best out of all other companies, his level of english is perfect and a extremely friendly person! If you are visiting Sao Tome I highly recommend getting in touch with Luis he will help you organise your time there and ensure you see everything worth seeing tailoring this to your travel style!

Guided trip to Ilhéu das Rolas with lunch - Our group of 5 adults booked Luis Miguel for a guided trip to Ilhéu das Rolas, the tiny island off the southern tip of Sao Tome where you can straddle the equator. Miguel collected us from our accommodation in Santana in his 4x4, which has plenty of room, and we set off south. Miguel gave us a history of Sao Tome and a running commentary covering the areas we were passing through. Miguel is friendly, always smiling, knowledgeable and very passionate about his homeland. And he speaks very good English. The tour included the boat trip to Ilhéu das Rolas, a lovely lunch on the island and the return transport to our accommodation. I'd thoroughly recommend Miguel as a guide.

Best São Tomé Tour Guide! - Luis was an excellent tour guide! His professionalism and speedy responses to my inquires made me feel at ease. His teammate Ayres was superb and safely drove me to various tourist points across the island, while also giving me a history lesson via his knowledgeable answers to my various questions. I highly recommend Luis for your tourism needs on São Tomé! Muito obrigado pelo tudo.

Genuine contact with Sao Tomé south coast - Luis Miguel picked us up at the hotel and drove us to the various villages of the South Coast until we arrived in sight of the Cao Grande. Competent, kind, multilingual and helpful. You feel that he knows and loves his country.

Beware the “Bait and Switch” - Luis Miguel called me the night before the tour to tell me he was not available for what I booked (Ilheu das Rolas). But he said he had a colleague who could do the tour. However, this “friend” did not seem like a qualified or experienced tour guide. He gave almost no information the whole day. At the first stop, he got out of the car and disappeared without saying anything. He seemed rushed and distracted the entire time. We did not go to Porto Alegre or Praia Yam as promised in this tour. I had to pay 40 EUR to a rather unfriendly boat driver. The guide (Jailson) asked me to take pictures of him as if he had never been to these places before. $120 is more than most Sao Tomeans make in a month so Luis Miguel must be doing quite well for himself. Unfortunately, I cannot rate him as a tour guide because he was not there. I do not suggest you accept one of his “friends” as a substitute.
