5.00Great guide. Route with a lot of information sharing and visits to the local community. Very diverse experience with strengths on the climb to Monte Verde (proof of tea, coffee and grogue) and visit to the Gatas Bay. I recommend 👍

5.00Danny was very knowledgeable and the driver, Tino, was excellent. Personalized service. Our tour was half private (first hour and a half) in French, and then we joined another group. I recommend them.
I recommend without hesitation!

5.00I did this tour with a super friendly and knowledgeable guide called Rui. I totally recommend if you want to visit the island easily, giving you plenty of time to go to Santo antao during your stay. If you're travelling solo you may meet other solo travelers on this shared tour which made the experience even more enjoyable. I took most of my pictures with a camera and I am not back home yet but here's a picture that I took of the beach while we were visiting rescued turtles.
Exciting half day trip

5.00I made two excursions with the agency, the half day on Mindelo with Dany and the day in Santo Antao with Madu, I spent two very nice days and learned a lot. These guides are passionate about their island and transmit this love as well as possible. Thanks to them and the driver too. I was lucky enough to be in a group of only 3 people each time. We also ate very well each time and discovered local specialties. I was also able to meet Paulo, the boss of the agency that brought me to the ferry and his wife Angela, was super responsive in her emails even when I booked at the last moment. Thank you!
Fun excursion

5.00Good guide who told a lot about the island and guided us very kindly. The van was very neat and the driver knew his trade
The half-day excursion is worthwhile for a first overview and beautiful views.
