Friendly. Interesting. An adventure. - Really lovely day. Sipson is a fantastic tour guide, friendly and welcoming. He made such an effort for us to experience life in São Tomé and have a good day. Would highly recommend Sipson to other people visiting São Tomé.

Trip to the Equator - We spent a full day traveling to the south of the island and exploring what it had to offer. The drive down was beautiful and we enjoyed learning many things about the island as we drove and conversed. The scenic stops were amazing as well. The highlight of the trip for me was going over to Rolas Island and hiking to the equator landmark! Never thought I’d get the chance to stand on both hemispheres! We also hiked to Battery Beach and yes it’s just as beautiful in person as it is online. The hikes were short (~20 minutes) and relatively easy. The weather was perfect and the water felt amazing! Book with Sipson!

Full Day São Tomé Southern Route - A great day travelling the southern route in São Tomé with Sipson tours. The full day tour was highlighted by visiting IIheu das Rolas and the equator landmark. Other highlights included the majestic Pico Cabo Grande, Porto Alegre, the women washing clothes in the Abade River, and more. Sipson was a great guide. Very knowledgeable and his English was excellent. A great way to explore the island.

Paradise landscape, breathtaking tourist site, welcoming citizens. - This is the second time we have requested Sipson's services and, as usual, the experience has been exceptional.
We particularly appreciated his professionalism and the quality of his work. That is why I highly recommend his services.

A beautiful day on the island of San Tome with Simpson. - We spent a whole day with Sipson. He showed us great highlights, we were able to make spontaneous photo stops, wonderful. We learned all sorts of things about the island, its people and history in German. We felt really comfortable with Simpson, he drove safely.
Our lunch was also quite wonderful. Simpson drove us to a restaurant with great atmosphere, super delicious food and friendly service. Clean and tidy. A big thank you for this wonderful day. Greetings Viola and Helmut

More than expected - Sipson has responded to all wishes and speaks very good German. The tour was as expected exhausting and worth it. We can recommend Sipson with a clear conscience

Highlight of my Sao Tomé trip! - I did the South island tour with Sipson.
I was surprised to be greeted in German and the majority of the tour was in my mother tongue German, even if I haven't requested it. Wouldn't expect that on a small island like Sao Tome.
Sipson is a wonderful person and I learned so much about his country and culture. He answered all my questions and showed me the most amazing places around.
His driving was excellent and I felt very safe.
The trip to Ilheu das Rolas was taken over by Jason, also a very kind guy acting as Captain and Tour Guide.
You made this day the most special one of my trip and I'm super thankful having met you Sipson and Jason!
All the best and keep up the top notch service!

Different from the conditions that had been presented - I am grateful that I was able to visit places that I wouldn’t have been able to see without the tour.
However, although there were traffic restrictions that day, some of the destinations listed on the itinerary were skipped, and we didn’t stop at them.
No alternative destinations were suggested, and the tour ended about three hours earlier than scheduled.
Naturally, the price remained the same.
Also, while I understood that lunch wasn’t included, I was asked to pay for the guide’s (Paulo’s) meal as well. Well, I paid it, thinking of it as a tip.
Also, under the “What’s included” section,
it said “Air-conditioned vehicle,” but the car was an old one without AC, and it said “Water bottles during excursions,” but none were provided.
As mentioned above, there were many disappointing aspects, but was that because I was a solo Asian traveler?
I’d like to believe that wasn’t the case.
