    The best choice to get to know the island better! ☺️ The two impeccable guides! Very friendly, affordable and well disposed - excellent professionals! They explained and showed everything. We started by knowing how the island emerged and starting from there, were explaining about the areas we were visiting. We always had time at each stop to take some photos. From fishing, to music, to local drink, to Buracona, to dive in the stone fire and to be with the baby sharks. It was an incredible and unforgettable experience. We loved everything and, of course, the best part was the surprise that we had lunch in a private house instead of going to a restaurant. In a family and relaxed atmosphere, we could talk, ask our questions and enjoy the food that was wonderful! I highly recommend!

    Full tour with tasty lunch at local mama Elsa's home. We had nice fresh food- tuna, veg, salad and some flavoured rice. I would say that Bu Country are one of the better tour operators in Cape Verde. If you prefer to avoid the big group scrum they are the one for you. Perhaps a bit more expensive than some but that's necessary for smaller group vibe. Our guide Miguel was very helpful and keen to share knowledge on all the Cape Verde islands. We asked him A LOT of questions about everyday life in CV and he shared lots of info with us which was good. The driver Riva also did his job well avoiding the many pot holes!, car clean and they arrived on time. Bu country also willing to arrange whole travel itineraries and always super polite. One thing I would say is, sometimes the e mail comms were a bit erratic (what's app best)...e mail sometimes quick responses, other times slow....and I fear you may be losing some business on that front Admilson - hope you won't mind the constructive criticism. Anyway thanks for everything & wishing you all the best ongoing 👍

    Good tour with many interesting stops. Good and interested guide and an absolutely fantastic experience with luch in a private home. Took a little longer than expected but that seems to be normal in Cape Verde.

    Since this tour had no reviews, we were skeptical at first, but it seemed to be the only one that would give an authentic impression of the island and we were not disappointed! There were only 4 of us in total and 2 guides. We were picked up on time at the hotel in a new and clean minibus. The two locals told us a lot about the island and had put together a varied and interesting program for us - exactly as described. We were also shown places that remain hidden from normal tourists, for example the slums. They said that this is unfortunately part of Cape Verde and it was important to them to show the real life on the islands.
