Day around Santiago Island - Our guide Jose was just fabulous. We had a wonderful time going around the whole island experiencing all this lovely island had to offer. The food, drink, music, scenery, views, people etc. Our driver was great too, we truly had a blast. Thanks Jose & Viator.

Lots of local flavor - Jose gave us a true picture of how the people of Santiago live. We made several stops where the locals stop. He gave us ample opportunities at scenic locations for photograph. We had a fantastic day.

We had a wonderful tour... - We had a wonderful tour with José! We learned a lot about Cabo Verde, he taught us some local words and all about the local food and customs. Our driver (I've forgotten his name) drove very well and safely. We saw some beautiful scenery and lovely towns.

Cape Verde Tour (accompanied by Kapverdentours.com) - We had a super pleasant stay, without hindrance. Kapverden Tours, really ensured (punctuality and responsiveness in managing our needs). Our guides José, Zè and Kevin were great and made us discover with enthusiasm very beautiful places across the Cape Verde Islands!
I recommend them without hesitation!

Well... - We booked a tour for two for €220. Driver Manuel, Guide Angelo and the two of us in a comfortable new Toyota car. Our guide was young and in our opinion too inexperienced and a bit shy. He didn't know much about the island compared to our tour the day before in Sao Vicente and the driver unfortunately didn't speak English.
Interesting landscape with beautiful views and insights into village life.
Depressingly impressive the former concentration camp.
We invited the two to lunch and were back at the port after 6h. The advantage of this type of tour is that you can hold at any time to photograph e.g.
