Tours with Sipson is "light light" - I booked the tours in São Tomé and the Principe with Sipson and got it in full. Available and worried since the moment I arrived on the island. Demonstrated a lot of knowledge about the history of his homeland and always sought to improve our experience while we were on the island. Sipson, thank you so much for this great experience!

A lifetime experience! - I booked 5 full day excursions with Sipson.
I wrote him via whatsapp and he sent me all the options for the different days with the prices. I also asked to get an invoice for my insurance company in case something would happen and he sent it straight away.
Sipson is a very professional tour guide and I learned a lot from him about the history of São Tomé e Principe. The tours were amazing from A to Z.
I would highly recommend to book your tours with him.
Again Sipson, thank you so much for this great experience!

Super helpful and knowledgeable tour guide - Sipson has been amazing during our 2 days trip between Porto alegre and Santana. He was very punctual, and very helpful with everything. We did everything we wanted to visit and more. He knows all the local spots and has a lot of connections if you need anything. He also drove us to the beach after he dropped us off our accommodation as we didn't know how to get there by ourselves.
I would highly recommend booking an island tour for the whole day.

An Unforgettable Experience With Sipson - We had an unforgettable experience touring both the Ilhéu das Rolas and the south of São Tome with Sipson. He was not only a knowledgeable and attentive guide, but also made the whole journey feel personal and relaxed.
The trip to Ilhéu das Rolas was a highlight – standing at the Equator line, learning about local history, and enjoying the beautiful views and beaches was something we’ll never forget. On this Southern tour, Sipson showed us hidden spots we’d never have found on our own, including stunning coastlines, vibrant villages, and local traditions.
What stood out most was his care and passion for sharing the culture and beauty of São Tomé. He was flexible, patient, and made sure we were comfortable at every step. Thanks to him, we left with not just memories but also a deeper appreciation for the island.
Highly recommended if you want a genuine, well-guided experience in São Tomé!

Unforgettable Tours with Sipson in São Tomé - We had an unforgettable experience touring both the Ilhéu das Rolas and the north of São Tomé with Sipson. He was not only a knowledgeable and attentive guide, but also made the whole journey feel personal and relaxed.
The trip to Ilhéu das Rolas was a highlight – standing at the Equator line, learning about local history, and enjoying the beautiful views and beaches was something we’ll never forget. On the northern tour, Sipson showed us a hidden spot for delicious crab we’d never have found on our own.

The best tours- highly recommend - We went on 3 tours booked through Sipson Tours: Centre, North and South. Sipson and his colleague Amaro were absolutely fantastic. They speak great English, communication before was excellent and they know everything about the island. Even better they have a real interest and dedication in developing the island in a manner which does not destroy it. They both went out of their way to ensure our 9 year old son had fun and was kept interested. We were so happy that we booked through Sipson. Would recommend going on all three tours.

Good variety of sights, good scenery, friendly guides - I really enjoyed this day. We stopped at quite a few interesting places on the way to the south of the island, including a couple of roças (in very different states of repair), some landscape features and two beaches. The scenery was lovely! My driver/guide Cirilo(?) was friendly and spoke good English. Sipson himself joined us with another family at Porte Alegre, and we did the crossing to Ilha das Rolas together (saving me €10 on the boat). Sipson was keen to check I was having a good time, which I was! There's a nice view northwards from the Equator Marker towards São Tomé. After this we went for lunch (my choice, and at my expense) on a very pretty beach, and I was delighted that they'd remembered my food allergy. While the day is 5*, people should be aware that on windy days you're going to get a bit splashed on the crossing in a low fishing boat, so wear old clothes and bring a plastic covering for anything valuable. Also note it's quite a long drive back from Porto Alegre to São Tomé (approx. 2hrs 15mins), which is more noticable without the stops.

A beautiful and interesting experience in complete safety - The best guide in Sao Tome, he speaks English perfectly. He tells and knows the story of Sao Tome by heart.
They will make you discover the fauna and flora with many great anecdote. Sipson helped me throughout my trip because I don't speak Portuguese and it made me feel like home I recommend x10000

Visit to the southern part of the island of São Tomé, including the Ilhéu das Rolas. - It all went well...The Simpson guide is 5 stars... He knows the area well, is always ready to help whatever...
The places visited demonstrate the reality of life in São Tomé.... The entire population in general is very friendly
