5.00The tour was very well organised and thorough, and the team from Bu Country Tours was super accommodating and easy to communicate with. I was lucky enough to do this tour on my own with Alex, who taught me a lot about the culture and history of Cabo Verde. He was super informative and willing to answer all my questions, and he was generally a joy to spend the day with. Would absolutely recommend this tour!
No expectations, and all went above and beyond

5.00Gina was more than a tour guide but became a wonderful companion and friend the entire 2 days we spent together exploring Praia, Cidade Velha and the rest of Santiago island all the way up to Tarrafal! We'll miss her and there's definitely a part of us that looks forward to returning and keeping in touch!
