  I was on Sal Island in Cape Verde, and it was a fantastic experience! I planned all the activities with Carlos Cruz, who was always extremely available, responded quickly and explained everything in detail, giving great suggestions. Service 5 stars from the first contact! I also made the tour of the island with the guide Fábio, who was also 5 stars , super friendly, welcoming and very professional. The driver was also excellent, always careful and attentive. In addition, Carlos helped me schedule other activities, such as horse ride and buggy ride, and everything went perfectly. Immaculate organization and extraordinary accompaniment. I recommend 100% to those who visit Sal Island. Definitely an experience to repeat — I really want to come back!

  

  

  

  

  

  

• Brilliant day out around Sal.

  We did a private island tour this week with Fabio as our guide. It was a really great day out, stopping at 9 different places. We felt we saw a lot of interesting places and enjoyed an insight into Sal’s culture and history. The driver was excellent too, going off road over some rough terrain at times! Fabio is a cheerful and enthusiastic guide, we enjoyed his company very much. We can also recommend him as a photographer. His pictures and drone videos are superb. Can definitely recommend Carlos Tours - great communication and efficiency.

  We did a tour with guide Fábio Santos. He proved to be extremely professional, friendly, and versatile, truly a man of many skills. He made us feel at ease from the start, delivering a high-quality service with great attention to detail. He also recommended a five-star restaurant, offering excellent value for money. Safe driving, a consistently courteous attitude, and a very pleasant experience overall. Highest rating.

• An experience I definitely recommend 🙂

  The ease of contact (via Messenger or WhatsApp) and the variety of activities that Carlos can arrange for us when visiting Sal Island in Cape Verde. We made a tour of the island to know the main points. For those who visit Sal Island for the first time this tour is a "must". Our guides were Fabio and Michael and we liked both - well disposed, good driving, Fabio was always explaining what we were seeing. I recommend.

• Jam packed day of fun and facts

  We booked the small group full day tour, and were picked up at the hotel at 9.30. A small group.of 8, us 2 Brits, Italian couple, Swiss/Brazil couple and 2 ladies from another CP Verde island. A wonderful mix! Patrick our guide was fantastic and multi-lingual, and shared lots of information. We visited the Salt mine, lemon shark Bay, the blue eye cave (a long wait for not a lot to see), fishing village Paleira and main town of Espargos, kite beach, and finished the day with a swim/float in salt pool! We also drove through the shanty town, which is an important part of the island to understand. Tourism helps bring money into the economy so its important to not just live in your hotel whilst here, and contribute to local businesses if you can. Lunch was OK, but very basic, and was an extra 10 to 14 euro. I don't know if it's on every tour, but Patrick took fantastic photos of us all day on his professional camera and showed us on his laptop. It was 20 euro for a download of approx 50+ photos, separated by couple, and worth every penny. A brilliant addition, and a chance for photos as a couple. We were drooped off at the hotel at 5pm, and reflected on a fabulous day!! We immediately recommended the tour to others at the bar too!

  

  

• Our Best Trip: Cape Verde, Cliff, Fábio and A Yes to the Sunset

  Our trip to Cape Verde was simply unforgettable, and much of that magic is due to Carlos Cruz Tours, a truly phenomenal company. One of the days of our stay we decided to contract their services and we were accompanied by guides Cliff and Fábio, two extraordinary professionals who turned the tour into a unique experience. During the day, we visited all the most iconic sights, always with interesting explanations, good disposition and that human warmth so characteristic of Cape Verde. Cliff has always been super friendly, attentive and genuinely interested in providing us with the best day possible. Fabius... was simply the best guide ever! Your energy, knowledge and care with us made everything even more special. But nothing could prepare us for the moment that came at the end of the day: a magical sunset in Murdeira, right in front of the iconic Bar dos Piratas, where I was surprised with a wedding request that I never imagined. The combination of the stunning scenery, the thrill of the moment and the way everything went naturally made this experience absolutely memorable. We ended the day celebrating with a cocktail and a delicious dinner, still absorbing the happiness of this beautiful chapter of our lives. I highly recommend Carlos Cruz Tours — not just for their professionalism, but for how they make a simple walk into a history that we will keep forever. Cape Verde was already special... but with Fabio and Cliff it became extraordinary.

  We made the tour of the island in private with Carlos Cruz together with his team (Fábio) and it was one of the best experiences we had, everything very organized 🙏 talk about them is to talk about the people of Cape Verde, welcoming, sympathetic, empathic, nostalgic, polite and very conversational 💙 even ending the connection of what moved us, always worried if we were well and if we needed something 🙏 we recommend to 100% the Carlos Cruz and team ♫ thank you and no stress ♫

  

  

• Excellent Tour of Chincoteague & Assateague, VA

  We booked a tour (not a private one) with Salt Water Pony Tours. The tour was on time and was excellent. Both the Captain of the pontoon boat, and the guide on-board were excellent. The provided considerable information about the history of Chincoteague, as well as the separate island of Assateague. They also provided information and history of the general area (including Wallops Island (NASA), as well as the pony herd. My wife and I were pleasantly surprised with how well this tour went. We got to see the area by boat (very comfortable) along with approximately eight (8) other guests. We spotted a number of bald eagles, and ponies in the distance. Then, the Captain took us to a place where we got within 20 feet of a group of ponies grazing close to the water's edge. On our way back, we encontered a playful pod of dolphins (including some babies). This was a 2-hour tour and we thoroughly enjoyed it. If you had a question, you got an answer from someone who really know the area. This tour exceeded our expectations.
