Very nice tour to the south of São Tomé. Our guide ensured we saw many of the sites and was even willing to change money for us to make a few purchases. Sipson recommended good photo opportunities. He was flexible with the itinerary since we had to get back on our ship by a certain time I recommend this guide.
Amazing places, friendly and accessible people, good food

I was very disappointed with our tour booked through Sipson tours. I had high expectations given all the reviews. I had contacted Sipson months ago - as we were arriving by cruise ship and I wanted to ensure availability. Despite being informed we were the first booking, when we arrived we were handed off to a different guide, Fred, who unfortunately spoke very little English and understood even less. Although I had received an itinerary in advance, he did not (or was not able to) explain where we were heading or what we were seeing. To top it off, his driving was some of the worst I have ever experienced, hairing along and not slowing even through the villages until, tired of hanging on for grim death, I finally yelled at him to slow down. The engine light was on in the vehicle the whole tour and as we were on a cruise ship I was worried about whether we would make it back safely or not. São Tomé is a beautiful island with an incredible history. I just wish we had been able to learn more about what we were seeing so we were able to enjoy our time more. I also think there may have been some different things we could have seen that were not included in the tour, for example the cocoa plantation.
Amazing trip of the South of Sao Tome

Although Sipson booked months in advance, he had no time and sent us another, very friendly guide. No problem, it happens. Considering the fact that the tour for 6-8 hours costs more than the average local earned in 2 months I would have expected to see more than just 2 beaches , a cocoa plantation and the center of the island capital, the car was old and uncomfortable, cold water or other amenities common on such expensive tours were not offered. We felt that they didn't want to show us the real Sao Tome and then explored it on our own initiative with minibus taxis. Unfortunately absolutely overpriced for what is offered, especially considering the price level in the country.
A tour without any complications

I booked the tours in São Tomé and the Principe with Sipson and got it in full. Available and worried since the moment I arrived on the island. Demonstrated a lot of knowledge about the history of his homeland and always sought to improve our experience while we were on the island. Sipson, thank you so much for this great experience!
A lifetime experience!

I booked 5 full day excursions with Sipson. I wrote him via whatsapp and he sent me all the options for the different days with the prices. I also asked to get an invoice for my insurance company in case something would happen and he sent it straight away. Sipson is a very professional tour guide and I learned a lot from him about the history of São Tomé e Principe. The tours were amazing from A to Z. I would highly recommend to book your tours with him. Again Sipson, thank you so much for this great experience!
