Excellent tour of Sao Vicente island. - We had a truly wonderful tour of Sao Vicente where we saw both the highlights of the capital (the culture center, fish market, African market etc.) and drove around the island. Our guide Rui Santos was very friendly, excellent driver and very knowledgeable about the history of the island. Highy recommended.

Beautiful tour, great guide - Beautiful Tour, past all the highlights. Paulo is a great guide, tells a lot and is fun. We didn't have to see Mindelo anymore and could be picked up after the city tour.

Just book it already!!! - I visited Mindelo, St. Vincent from December '23 through February '24. The Green Line Full Day Tour was one of the highlights of my trip! From start to finish everyone was attentive, informative, friendly, professional and willing to go the extra mile to assure a positive and memorable experience. Paulo welcomed me with a big smile and gregarious spirit. Angela kindly explained all my options. She kept in touch via Whatsapp and promptly followed up on any other questions that I had. Rui, our tour guide was knowledgeable and engaging. It was apparent that he put a lot of effort into making sure we were comfortable and enjoying the tour. The restaurant where we stopped for lunch was crowded, but somehow he managed to get us a table in a timely manner, suggested some delicious options, and attended to our needs with grace and personality! Being an "open tour", we met other people from different countries which enhanced the experience. I definitely would book another tour with Green Line Tours!

Perfect island tour - Absolutely perfect island tour led by the extremely likeable duo Rui (tour guide) and Nani (driver). Rui and Nani presented their island with a lot of passion, humor and friendliness. Information was provided in a very pleasant way. The well-being of the customers was very important to both of them and the restaurant chosen for the lunch break was also excellent. I can highly recommend the island tour!
