          Tour information was good--but we hadn't signed up for a strenuous walk
          As it turns out, my wife and I were the only ones signed up for this tour. A family of four signed up for another tour related to music. The tour guide combined us together. It was interesting to see how guitars, violins, ukuleles--string instruments-- were made. The music tour included 15 minutes of local music, also interesting. I give the tour a poor rating as we had signed up for a modest walking tour of the downtown and ended up walking 3.3 miles to get back from the music tour that we hadn't signed up for to begin with. Signed up for 2 hours and ended up doing 4 hours. This turned an easy tour into a strenuous one, as most of the sidewalks and streets were cobblestone.

          Scenic adventure with fresh produce. 10/10 would recommend to all visiting the island!!!!!!
          This tour was amazing! Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable and explained the history and culture of the area in detail. The drive to the tour location was very scenic, and the fruit we tried was fresh and delicious. We were even able to try Cabo Verde's famous Rum fresh from the farm! I would definitely recommend this tour and this tour company to others!

          Great city tour
          Edson was a great guide, very knowledgeable and perfect English. The tour took us to the main historical parts of the city and it was very helpful to learn about the history of Cabo Verde

          Full Exploration of Sal
          We had this trip with Esmael, a local that lives on Sal. He was a nice presence, resposible driver and knew a lot about the island in general which was very informative. In addition, the tour takes you a various places you will need to see on Sal where you have some time to look around. Would recommend!

          Surrounded by turtles! Wonderful, kind Guide
          Fabulous experience!! Wonderful tour guide and drivers. It was an me of the coolest experiences I’ve had on excursions for a while. I even got GoPro footage of us swimming with the turtles! Thank you! For those of you concerned about the negative reviews: 1. Trash in the water: we didn’t see much, but I understand if some was seen. At the time of our visit, the island itself was pretty dirty and I don’t recall seeing a garbage can in town later as we walked. So while I’m sure the island does what it can, this is the nature of the areas I saw. I can tell you that things will only get cleaner as more tourists come! 2. Feeding of the turtles: They have to attract the turtles and they do so with food. At one point, I was surrounded by FIVE turtles, and it was the coolest experience ever. They remind you not to touch or harass the turtles. 3.Rude or aggressive locals: Evidently this is the nature of the culture on the island as we encountered it a dozen times or more. They are aggressive to get change or sell you something. It’s all over the island and not specific to this tour. The tour guide and helpers were the nicest people we met! Helpful hints: -You’re allowed to bring a small bag on the boat, but do so at your own risk. -Be a good swimmer -Bring small change (local, Euro or USD) for tipping drivers, foot washers, or buying shells or fresh coconut water.

          Rip off - waste of money.
          Taxi's ripped us off going there, guys on the beach rude and aggressive, one guy snapped at us for wanting to swim to the turtles, ITS 50M away! You don't need a boat at all! Seabed is dirty they don't even clear waste. This is a total waste of money.

          Beautiful experience, would recommend
          The trip was great we got to see the tourist attractions of Cape Verde. We got to ride on the back of a pick up truck, which was a lot of fun and our driver drove very safely. Our driver told us a lot about the island and the history of the island, it was a great experience.

          No fuss calm island tour
          Good tour no fuss let us do viewing in own time. Saved us money not entering blue eye cave due to rain and muddy waters. Safe driving, friendly and calm. Would recommend if you want private no fuss tour of islands and key tourist spots.

          PROFESSIONAL
          Our group of 8 prebooked a tour in Praia when our cruise ship came in. Unfortunately our ship cancelled the stop because of been fogged in in Cape Town. I contacted Antonio and he agreed to refund monies paid. So professional and a delight to deal with. I would not hesitate in using this company.
