Phenomenal service - The crew were very personable, informative, and very attentive throughout. Because I travelled solo, safety was a priority and at no point did I feel like it was compromised. Jorge, at the lighthouse was such a pleasant soul to meet. Admilson and his crew were phenomenal, from the tours to lunch breaks, and conversations in between. I asked lots of questions and they knew they’re stuff. They made it seem like we have been friends for some time!
I booked another tour with them the following week- I had to! On that trip, I had a little delay on my return flight from Santa Maria, Sal to Praia and Admilson was there through it all.. They made sure I was back at my hotel safe and sound at the wee hours of 1am. I am very appreciative of them for prioritizing my needs on this trip!
Thank you a thousand times over! I hope to return soon and see all your beautiful faces!

Very fixed!! - Edmilson is the best guide on the island of Santiago. It is worth planning several tours with BuCountry to get to know the whole island.

Short-changed and cheated - Was sold as a private tour according to my booking voucher. Under the "Additional info" section of both this tour and the Cidade Velha tour, it was indicated that "This is a private tour. Only your group will participate". It seems that they have changed it now but their duplicity on this stance was uncalled for.
