Great tour to start your stay in Praia, Maria was very welcoming, and pace of the tour was what we needed for our first day. She adviced us tips on local culture, local food and drinks, where to do local shooping (souvenirs) and History Will highly recommend this tour for those not sure on what to do on thier first day
We appreciate your comment and recognition, and we're glad to hear that you had a positive experience on our tour. Thank you for recommending our service. We look forward to welcoming you again on future adventures. Maria misses you and sends a big hug from Cabo Verde.
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!

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.
We appreciate your feedback and apologize for any confusion or inconvenience caused regarding the classification of the tour as private. We maintain clear communication with our clients and inform them of any changes that may occur. Additionally, we offer the option to participate in group tours, but the final decision is always up to the client. We apologize if there was any change that caused confusion. We would like to emphasize that we remain committed to providing a high-quality experience for all our clients, regardless of the classification of the tour. Our guides are highly qualified and dedicated to delivering a personalized and satisfying experience to all participants. We value each client and work hard to ensure that everyone has a pleasant and unforgettable experience. Customer satisfaction is always our priority, and we strive to exceed expectations in all aspects of our company. We appreciate your feedback and the opportunity to improve our services. We hope to have the chance to welcome you again and offer you an even better experience.
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.
Tambem sou Brazileiro e Cearence sabes disso... mas voces são os melhores do Rio de Janeiro. Valeu pela recomendação...Tamo junto sempre familia!!!
