The market is quite limited. Most enjoyable was the drive on the road to the highest point on the island. The driver guide was very accommodatig and considerate of our physical limitations.

We enjoyed our tour of São Vicente with Freddy. He spoke very good English and was quite knowledgeable about Cape Verde. We learned a lot about life there and we felt like we got our money’s worth.
A worthy introduction to Cabo Verde

Elodie did a fine job with the group she had. The pace was a bit slow for my tastes, but there were lots of elderly and limited people from the ship, so it was understandable. The views from the top of Monteverde were wonderful, and I enjoyed seeing local people in their ordinary lives.
Perfect for one day stay

Freddie was a wonderful guide. He was on time, friendly and it was very apparent that he loves his island. He spoke very good English and was happy to answer all our questions. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Mindelo. We drove up to Green mountain, toured the city, went to the fish and produce market, visited several villages and beaches. Thanks Freddie!
excellent tour

We had a great half day tour of the city and two small villages. The drive up to Monte Verde was amazing. Even with low clouds the view was awesome . Our guide, Elody, and our driver, Danny, were very fun and knowledgeable.
