“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.”

Explore Praia’s historic center, lighthouse, markets, and local lunch with a small group, hotel pickup, and a guide for $88.21.
“Was sold as a private tour according to my booking voucher. Under the "Additional info" section of both this tour and the Cidade Velha tour, it was indicated that "This is a private tour. Only your group will participate". It seems that they have changed it now but their duplicity on this stance was uncalled for.”
Explore Praia and Cidade Velha on Santiago Island, with markets, historic monuments, hotel or harbor pickup, and a guide in four hours.
“Tour molto piacevole con accompagnatore giovane ma già preparato ed estremamente disponibile alle spiegazioni e a fornire curiosità sui posti visitati. Interessante la visita al centro di Santiago ma soprattutto affascinante la vecchia capitale. Molto consigliato per avere un'idea dell'isola per le persone che hanno poco tempo a disposizione (nel nostro caso, tappa di crociera).”
Explore São Filipe’s colonial Sobrados, Fogo’s lava coast, Salinas pool, and baobab punch on a four-hour Cape Verde tour.
