Highlight of my Sao Tomé trip!

5.00I did the South island tour with Sipson. I was surprised to be greeted in German and the majority of the tour was in my mother tongue German, even if I haven't requested it. Wouldn't expect that on a small island like Sao Tome. Sipson is a wonderful person and I learned so much about his country and culture. He answered all my questions and showed me the most amazing places around. His driving was excellent and I felt very safe. The trip to Ilheu das Rolas was taken over by Jason, also a very kind guy acting as Captain and Tour Guide. You made this day the most special one of my trip and I'm super thankful having met you Sipson and Jason! All the best and keep up the top notch service!
Full day seeing a large part of the island

4.00The places I visited on the internet and the actual places I visited were a bit different. There were few. Boat to Loras and lunch should be included in the price. It's not an option, everyone is going to Loras. There are no water showers for swimming on Loras Island. Please note.
Great experience! Thanks, Sipson.

5.00Sipson was very communicative and though he couldn't lead the tour himself, he still met me at my hotel to make sure everything was okay and waited until I left with the guide. The tour itself was really interesting and fun and it was a great way to spend a day in Sao Tome.
An excellent experience

5.00We had an absolutely unforgettable experience exploring São Tomé island with Sipson as our tour guide. From start to finish, he was professional, knowledgeable, and incredibly passionate about his country. Sipson didn’t just take us to the beautiful beaches, lush rainforests, volcanic rock formations, and historic sites — he brought every location to life with rich history, local stories, and cultural insights. His deep knowledge of the island made the experience feel authentic and meaningful. He was patient, flexible with our schedule, and always made sure we were comfortable and enjoying every moment. Whether it was navigating scenic coastal roads, recommending local food spots, or helping us capture the perfect photos, Sipson went above and beyond. If you’re visiting São Tomé and want a guide who is reliable, friendly, and truly passionate about showcasing the island’s beauty, I highly recommend Sipson. He made our trip extraordinary. Thank you, Sipson, for an amazing adventure! 🌴🌊✨
Nature at its best🌴

5.00Very professional, on time, sticks to what has been agreed, very English which is rare on the island. Helpful in all situations you could be facing in a beautiful island with great potential for tourism, but lacking good infrastructure.
Wonderful São Tomé
