Half day on the day after. - Great tour. Informative guide. We missed our original tour (time change) but was able to hook up with a tour the next day. Tour Captain (Angela ?) was great. I would highly recommend.

Great tour for first time visitors - The tour was an excellent way to get an overview of the island and learn about the culture of the Cape Verde islands. Our tour guide, Sonya, was knowledgeable about the wide variety of places we visited on the tour. She helped me to better understand the people and places we visited.

Good day - It was a great day with a good group. Because we were able to design our own group of friends. Our driver and guide were very friendly and knowledgeable. Even though most of the sites were repeat visits for me. I enjoyed the day.

Great intro to Sao Vincente, Cape Verde - Sonya did a very nice job of introducing a random group of about 20 cruise passengers to the history and sites of Mindelo, Cape Verde. We got to see all of the major sites on the island within the 4 hours that we had available to tour. We were all impressed with the cleanliness of Sao Vincente. Clearly the residents take pride in their island. The mercado was amazing. I wish I could shop there regularly. The museum was closing for siesta as we arrived but they let us all come in for a quick look. We knew vey little about Cape Verde Islands before our visit, but feel we got an excellent introduction to the history and sites of the area.

Professional, passionate and enthusiastic!! - In the end I have even booked 4 tours in São Vicente with Green Line Tours : Beaches, Villages and Monte Verde, 4x4 Desert Land Safari tour, Sunset Hike and 12 Voltas - A Hidden Wonder of Nature. Angela is a real pro, getting all the administrative stuff in order in a quick and efficient way. Paulo and his team make all tours to a huge success, with great insights on the island, they are passionate story tellers. They take care that you have the best time of your life, for ex. it is always possible to make some extra photo stops. I definitely recommend Green Line tours !

Great tour except cramped bus - The trip itself was very good with an excellent tour guide and driver. The only downside was the very cramped mini bus. You could literally hardly fit your legs behind the seat in front! Other than that, it was a very enjoyable day. Thank you.

Interesting tour - Great trip visiting all the attractions and points of interest Our driver and guide Carlos were knowledgeable and passionate about their island. Only downside was the cramped van. Not really suitable or comfortable for tall passengers.

Vibrant Sa Vicente, Cape Verde - Carlos, our guide, was charming,full of energy and lots of local information. Our driver, a local boxing champion, was also great and shared some of his stories with us and he had excellent driving skills up the mountains for the spectacular views. The walk around the town could probably be shortened a bit.

Four hours of fun - We packed a lot in to the four hours. The road to the top of Monte Verde is tricky but we had a very good driver. We were also blessed with an excellent guide who clearly loved to share her island with us.
