We visited the island of Santo Antão with Riva, our guide, who was just great. You can see that he is passionate about his work and that he knows the island like his pocket. He answered all our questions and gave us lots of information about the history and culture of the island. The tour was great, we were able to observe much of the magical places on the island. Thanks again to Riva for this tour of the island. We strongly recommend this authentic and memorable experience!

Magnificent hike with a guide speaking excellent French, very friendly, passionate and exciting. The Paul Valley is a must-see. I asked to stop for lunch and the guide was very flexible and took me to a fantastic family restaurant. It was the best meal I had on Sao Antao. Unfortunately I don't remember the name anymore. I recommend this company and this excursion.
Excellent Agency - They are focused on you

Excellent everything from BU Country Tours. Very experienced guide and a wonderful treatment to us. We have lot of problems with our arrival to Cape Verde and they were very flexible and helpful with us to adapt at our changing times. It was a completely pleasure to visit Sao Vicente and Santo Antao with BU. 100% RECOMMENDABLE.
