Great look at Cape Verde - Pickup at Port as arranged, lovely clean and comfortable van, great look around and Caio Neves ( our driver guide) was thoughtful, informative and knowledgeable ensuring our trip was a great day. We left Cape Verde with a much improved knowledge of the area and it's people. Great Crepes and lunch thank you. We definitely recommend this trip and our guide [email protected] booked through Viator Only recommendation is for Caio to have a headset and mic so those in back of van can hear his commentary

Perfect tour by Danny - Perfect tour by Danny! Detailed info on the history of the island, as well as the present-day marvels and challenges in Sao Vicente. Smooth, safe drive with a big good lunch for about 10-15 euros per person.

WELL WORTH YOUR MONEY AND TIME! GREAT TOUR - WELL WORTH YOUR MONEY AND TIME! We were here for 1 day due to a Cruise stop in Mindelo. We had a small group of 8 (Total of 10 with driver & guide) Full day of wonderful sights Very nice lunch (which is included) in a local restaurant served family style (extra if you want sodas, wine or beer) water is served (bottled) Small bus, not able to accommodate mobility scooters or wheelchairs as isle and Bus is narrow. Our day visit was March 17, 2024 a Sunday and the town of Mindelo was pretty much shut down. This tour takes place away from Mindelo. Highly recommend Pick-up for us was away from the ship on cruise terminal (right off the street) be proactive and look for your name (sigh)

Great tour to discover Sao Vicente, very enriching - We really liked this tour. Our French guide taught us lots of things about the places we visited and all the questions we had as we went along. We swam at Baia das Gatas. Lunch at Calhau was delicious. Ideal for discovering Sao Vicente beyond Mindelo.

Our guide was friendly... - Our guide was friendly and eager to share his island home with us. Mindelo needs more investment to build this hidden gem into something that will benefit the people and the island economy

Average tour - Kaio is a very nice person but does not provide a lot of information as I expect from a guide. Only the persons in front two rows can hear him and the rest of us are clueless. The tour organizers don’t communicate well prior to the tour so you don’t get a lot of confidence. Pickup was smooth but again, not with a lot of info other than “wait there”. There is not much to see on the island

Too expensive ! - The tour was okay, but the price offered by TripAdvisor is way too high. There were people who had booked directly and who had paid almost twice as much! So wait until you are there and ask your hotel for example, or send a message to the organizer.
