All Cape Verde Tours & Excursions in 2026 - page 14

All the staff were friendly and knowledgeable. The horses are really looked after and its the staff that own the horses and you can tell they love them. Its a nice relaxing ride and the beach is beautiful. I would definitely recommend and if I come back to Cape Verde I would book again

I had an absolutely incredible full-day tour of Santiago Island, and I cannot recommend this experience enough—especially with Pox (our driver) and Antonio (our tour guide). From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make the day both enjoyable and deeply informative. Antonio is extremely knowledgeable about the island’s history, culture, and local communities. He didn’t just give surface-level information—he provided real insight into the traditions, lifestyle, and stories that make Santiago so unique. You can truly feel his passion for sharing his culture. Pox, our driver, was equally amazing—professional, friendly, and made us feel completely safe and comfortable throughout the entire journey. The roads and terrain can be challenging in certain areas, but his skill and calm demeanor made the experience seamless. What really stood out was how authentic the tour felt. This wasn’t just a checklist of tourist spots—it felt like a genuine connection to the island and its people. We visited local communities, experienced real Cape Verdean life, and had the opportunity to ask questions and engage in meaningful conversations. If you’re visiting Cape Verde and considering a tour of Santiago, do yourself a favor and book this experience—and if possible, request Pox and Antonio. They truly made this a highlight of my trip. Thank you both for such a memorable and enriching day!

We had a fantastic full day tour with Paulo. He passionately told us a lot about the island life, the challenges, the history, the current situation of Cabo Verde and the kind and tranquil people. Very interesting! They picked us up at our hotel, eventhough we didn't stay in the city center. Tomorrow we leave for Santo Antao and probably will book you for another fantastic tour there. Thanks!
