“Super nette Tourenleitung mit Nicole, die uns geduldig alle Fragen auf Deutsch beantwortet hat. Auf den Pickup‘s ist es teils schon sehr anstrengend, vor allem Richtung Schiffswrack. Ansonsten kann ich die Tour allen für den ersten groben Überblick empfehlen - alles drin. Das Essen am Strand von Santa Monica: top! Nur leider über die GJG-Buchung nicht inklusive, bei den Locals wäre sie inbegriffen. Haben wir leider zu spät gecheckt…”

Review of Boa Vista’s 4-hour tour to the Cabo Santa Maria shipwreck, Viana Desert, Rabil crafts, and Sal Rei for $47.
“Wij waren samen met gids Vera en chauffeur Bernardo op stap. De groep bestond mooi compact uit 4 personen. De gids Vera nam alle tijd en wist veel te vertellen over het eiland en Kaapverdië in het algemeen. Chauffeur Bernardo heeft ons op een veilige manier de mooiste plekjes van het eiland laten zien. We bezochten een oude pottenbakkerij in Rabil, waar de gids ook alle tijd nam om van alles over de lokale bevolking te vertellen. Daarna volgens ons het hoogtepunt van de trip: de tocht door de woestijn, onderweg naar het scheepswrak. Erg bijzonder om te zien hoe deze is vergaan door de jaren heen. We sloten de…”

Review of Boa Vista’s 4-hour tour to the Viana Desert, Cabo Santa Maria shipwreck, Fatima Chapel, Rabil pottery, and Sal Rei market.
“Die Sehenswürdigkeiten waren top! Leider hat unserer Fahrer jedoch den Besuch der Fatima-Kapelle ausgelassen. Was auch gestört hat war, dass selbst in der tiefsten Wüste Souvenir-Verkäufer von Decken aus ihre Kleinigkeiten verkauft haben und der Local Guide steuert natürlich genau auf deren Standpunkte drauf zu. Man muss dann echt viel diskutieren um die Verkäufer wieder loszuwerden. Viana-Wüste und das Schiffswrack sind jedoch absolut sehenswert. Evtl kann man diese Highlights etwas einfacher auf einer Quad-Tour ansteuern.”
