Good overview for cruisers - All information has been fulfilled: Small group, pick up, Mindelo on foot, view from the old fortress, driveway Monte verde, short walk Salamansa and also swimming at Baia das Gatas was possible. Return on time at the ship. Very good guide (English top) and prudent driver. Recommendation!

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.

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.
