Go and see Edgar!!! - We recently went on the half day island tour arranged by Edgar, he was such a delightful man,so helpful and personalable. We have Paulo as our driver, he was lovely and told us lots about Sal. We also did the No Limits Catamaran trip, which we also booked through Edgar, that too was AMAZING!!! We had such a great time, our kids 11 & 12 also loved both trips. We would highly recommend both trips and union tours. Hopefully we'll be back again xx

Edgar - Zilena first class service. - Book a tour with Edgar. The service provided by Edgar was absolutely fantastic, but we could not fault anything. Once we booked with Edgar, all information was sent via WhatsApp. The cost of our tour was €30 euros each. The tour provided was the blue eye, the local fish market,the port, the mirage,salt bath, and salt lakes and seeing the baby sharks. Stopped off in a local restaurant, food was great and reasonably priced. Our tour guide for the day was Zilena, provided all history and culture off the island. A great big shout out to Zilena, she was fantastic.After the trip ended, Edgar messaged to see if it was all okay. Just a tip, wear some old clothes, can get a bit dusty, and also wear some Crocs for the sharks, but you can loan some of the guys on the beach for €3 euros. Jut a fantastic day out...

Edgar = 100% - Booked up with Edgar for the full day private tour. He is was great, sent through all info via WhatsApp and checked in after the tour to ensure we had a good time. We had Elder as the driver and Fabio as the photographer and both were brilliant. We stopped off for some lunch in Espargos which was lovely. Highly recommend Edgar to anyone looking to get some holiday adventures in whilst in Cape Verde

Edgar Pires - the man for all your tour needs! - We contacted Edgar Pires through Facebook before visiting Santa Maria, Cape Verdi and he sent through loads of information - not just relating to the yours he offered, but advice on how to make the best out of your visit. The tour itself was fantastic - a fantastic day and brilliant value! This really is a great way to see so much of what Sal, Cape Verdi has to offer. There was never any hard sell from Edgar, we went back and booked more with him. I would highly recommend contacting him before your trip for the best experiences at a great price. I cannot recommend Edgar enough - he is the best at what he does.

EXCELLENT TOUR - Edgar Pires-Found his name on Cape Verde FB site and so many people were HAPPY with his service. Contacted him and booked a couple of tours. WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. He is very knowledgeable and so easy to deal with. The tour was great. Great introduction to this wonderful country/island. Thank you for a great time.

Nightmare Experience From Unprofessional Union Tour Operator - Firstly there was no communication whatsoever from this tour organisers with no answer to their phone number or email so only got an update on meeting point after I contacted Viator customer care team directly .Secondly to make our experience even more miserable on the day of pick up some bloke called Edgar turned up cracking silly jokes with some of the people in the group waiting outside the hotel and after few expired jokes eventually told me that I’m not of his list and I will have to take this up to his boss as there is nothing he can do . After few calls he said that I need to go with some unregistered local guide as there is no place for us on his vehicles so I ended with my family up in a minibus which took us around island , which luckily turned up to be safe in the end ,but definitely not an experience as advertised on Viator . In conclusion please beware and probably best if you use some more reliable and recognised tour operators.
