5.00These are my personal views based on my experience and observations.There are a lot of similar companies doing these tours, some are cheaper and some are much more expensive like any market economy. Green line are extremely professional, they will take care of everything in regards to the trip. The staff are multilingual and very knowledgable in both local and the history of the islands.Also the trip had a very friendly, chilled relaxed vibe. Running a business in a competitive seasonal market like this is very hard work, I am saying that they did not compromised on the service, also the customer engagement was superb, no issue at all, as a matter of fact I will return here and do another tour with them.

5.00Best tour we ever experienced. Manager Paolo has everything checked and under control. A great couple of co-workers perform in a high level to make us feel as good as possible. Our tour in San Antao was made really worthwhile due to our guide Madu. Experienced guide, lot of knowledge about the island. And great lunch at good local restaurant. Guys, again thank you. And remember: Morabeza

5.00Our crew of 6 people thoroughly enjoyed our time with Danny and Paulo during two different tours they offer. This is not your typical "slick" operation but what you get instead is much more valuable...you are seeing the CV the way its inhabitants live; their culture; their history; their day-to-day...all while seeing all that this beautiful country has to offer. Call Angela today!
A great experience! High Quality Service!

5.00Very nice experience with this agency! The whole team is fully at our Service, attentive, very friendly and responsive. Everything went very well from the transfer of my accommodation to the ferry crossing, the on-site visits to Santo Antao and the return to Sao Vicente to my accommodation. Everything was booked quickly by the team despite my late booking the day before the excursion. Madu is a great guide, passionate, cheerful and he transmits it throughout the tour. Thanks again to the whole team, it is a very high quality Service. I highly recommend!
