We celebrated our honeymoon in Praia, Cape Verde and did not expect anything like we have.
We started our trip with Alex and the taxi driver, Zema.
Both very sweet guys and we only took a small car since it was just a private tour for me and my wife.
Alex spoke English very well and was very knowledgeable able to tell us everything we needed to know about the island in Santiago, Praia.
The experience is phenomenal and unforgettable; Thank you Alex and Bu Country Tours!

Belle balade en barque de pêcheurs jusqu'aux grottes d'AQUA BELLA avec une arrivée sur une plage privée où nous avons pu déjeuner et faire du snorkeling...
L'ambiance avec les guides était très festive !
