Wonderful tour of Cape Verde - Thank you Elzo All Dias for a wonderful tour of the island with the driver My Didi, who was a very careful and competent driver.
We saw the key highlights and enjoyed some beautiful views. Elzo was very knowledgeable about the island - its history, terrain, plants, birds and geology.
He spoke excellent English and was very enthusiastic.
