  We were in Cape Verde in October and did 2 tours with Boa Vista Tours. The recommendation came from guests who had been here for some time and we were not disappointed. It was a great experience on the grand exclusive tour with Vera. We got to know the country and people and learned a lot about life here. We visited the shipwreck and saw areas we would never have travelled on our own. The highlight was the Speed Boot Tour with Frank, you must have done it. Frank is a very experienced skipper and has explained and shown us a lot of interesting facts about the island of Boa Vista. In the Zodiac we went in a fast drive and with great music across the Atlantic, for us it was an indescribable experience. Boa Vista Tours has our full recommendation, 5 stars.

  We went on the full day 4x4 tour. The tour was advertised as a visit to the shipwreck museum followed by a visit to the wreck, plus a few other stops on a full island tour. What it actually was, was a long, hot and uncomfortable drive around in an un-conditioned jeep, in which myself (5’10) and my partner (6’3) were stuffed in to the boot .. along with 2 other couples in the seats. The first stop was was a sandy hill with several men with small stalls pushing their wares, which would have been fine, if they hadn’t followed us around and been stood within 2 ft of us everywhere we went. This was the ‘sand surfing’ stop. I’m not getting in to it, let’s just say it was more like a few kids messing around than a €100 a head paid tour. Second stop was the wreck, the rusty leftovers of a small fraction of the ship, may have been semi interesting if you stumbled on it by accident. Took about 3/4 of an hour to get there, trapped in a stuffy hot box. During the trip the driver, who I don’t recall being advised was a professional rally driver, started driving erratically across the sand dunes, I understand that this may be fun for a lot of guests, but having been in a car accident that left me with a fear of being trapped in small spaces, it was not a welcome surprise for me. This wasn’t just our car, it’s clearly something they all do, it just isn’t advertised as part of the trip. And probably not covered by your insurance either. The third stop was a short stop in a town in which I believe the museum was, you aren’t taken there, you’re dropped off in an unfamiliar place and told you’ll be collected again in 40 minutes. No time to get your bearings, enough time to grab a drink and find a loo, finding the museum and doing a self tour would have been a push. By the time we stopped for lunch we knew we were not getting back in that car, my nerves were raw and my partners head and neck was sore (from being taller than the roof of the boot we were in) we decided to get a taxi back to the hotel from this point. After discussing our experience with tui reps we were fobbed off with ‘somebody will contact you on the app’ the response on the app was unapologetic, bordering on rude and offered a menial voucher - not specifying what we could use this for. The case was then closed. I’ve since attempted to make a complaint about the whole situation on 3 separate occasions and received little more than automated emails until we were advised our case had been considered and we were being denied any kind of refund or compensation. Now they’ve closed our case again. Complete waste of a days holiday, waste of €200 and waste of time chasing uninterested tui customer service. Thanks for nothing TUI, we’ve changed our plans for next year and won’t be using you again.

  Before our Boavista vacation, we booked the south and east tours. After our first great south tour with incredibly beautiful beaches, we spontaneously booked the north tour as a third excursion, where we met the four vacation acquaintances from the first tour again. All tours were very different, we had great fun and our tour guide Dina and her drivers were absolutely brilliant. Everyone was always friendly, lots of information in German, great atmosphere. Pick-up for all tours, which lasted 6-7 hours, in front of our Riu Palace hotel. We were able to sit outside on our jeeps, four of us. That was amazing. The vacationers who booked their excursions through TUI sat eight people inside the jeep and had neither fresh air nor a decent field of vision. When they saw us, they looked less than enthusiastic. Boavista Tours allows up to seven people per jeep, four sitting outside and up to three sitting inside. On two tours, there were six of us and seven of us per jeep. Here we arranged for everyone to sit inside and outside. Our recommendation to Boavista Tours > Since this doesn't work so well in every group, the guide should ensure that there are several changes so that all guests have the same opportunity to sit outside and the 4 who are picked up first don't block these seats the whole time. Conclusion: these were wonderful tours on which we got to know Boavista, with really great employees from Boavista Tours. 100% recommendation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! from Heike & Klaus

  Frank and his crew are absolute professionals. We had a wonderful day with 10 men (bowling trip). Everything was just right, except that we lost a great Mahi-Mahi right at the beginning, unfortunately a meter in front of the boat. At the end of the fishing trip we had enough fish (including a moray eel) so that everyone had a delicious meal. Conclusion: Absolutely recommendable. Top, top, top!!!

• Super day trip

  The big exclusive tour was the highlight of our 1-week holiday in March 22 alongside the whale-watching tour. Getting so much input across on all relevant island-specific topics in such a compact yet amusing form is second to none. Miguel as a "fluent German-speaking" guide manages to make driving a "real experience" with the help of Bluetooth boxes at the back of the pickup truck - a real compliment for that. Nobody could have done better.
