Outstanding tour :)

Ricardo was an absolutely exceptional tour guide during my time in Praia. Extremely knowledgeable and a wonderfully pleasant young man, he made the experience truly memorable. What set Ricardo apart was the extra effort he took, especially after learning I am a travel writer. He went above and beyond to deeply introduce me to Cabo Verdean culture, sharing insights that were invaluable for my work. More than just a guide, Ricardo felt like a friend showing me his city and culture. His passion and warmth were infectious. I highly recommend booking a tour with Ricardo—he offers an enriching and authentic experience that you won't soon forget!

A Tour of Cape Verde's Unique Roots

Our tour of Cidade Velha with our guide Alex was fantastic! He taught us a lot about the city's rich history, from Rua Banana, the oldest street in Cape Verde to the impressive fortress and convent, he also shared incredible stories about Cape Verde’s connection with the Portuguese and even the English. We visited the oldest church in Sub-Saharan Africa and learned about the city’s role in the transatlantic slave trade which was especially moving. If you're looking for an authentic and insightful way to explore Cape Verde's heritage, I definitely recommend this tour.

Thank you so much ! We're thrilled to hear that you had such an enriching experience exploring Cidade Velha with Alex. It's wonderful that you were able to dive into the deep history of Cape Verde, from its colonial past to its moving connection to the transatlantic slave trade. Alex truly takes pride in sharing the culture and heritage of the island, and we're glad that his stories left such an impression. We hope to welcome you back for more memorable journeys into Cape Verde's history and beauty soon

A must see, excellently guided!

Dana was a delight and great fun to be with and was very considerate of my questions and interests. I learned a lot about Cidade Velha and it's various waves of pirate attacks, but also about the geopolitical significance of being the first European settlement in the tropics. Dana also told me some of the deeply emptional stories of how people were bought and sold in the town square, with local (captive)women singing to give those about to be taken to the new world hope of one day returning to Africa. To boost moral at its lowest ebb. Its a beautiful and deeply historic spot and well worth the trip.

Not a private tour despite advertising it as such

The tour was listed as a private tour and I was under the impression it would be such. However, it wasn’t one which greatly limited the positive impact I was hoping it would have

Respuesta del operador

Dear Basanth Thank you for your review. We never never and never sold Praia City Tour as private tour. You knew that! You booked our Praia City Tour for less than 30 Euros. Right? Your accommodation was in Old Town. Only the Trasnfer from the Old Town to Praia costs almost the price of the Tour. But fulfilling your request, we ended up offering the free pick up for you, right? You have booked your transfers with our partner via internet and once again you have chosen our services. We were always on time, but at the Trasnfer out we had to wait for 50 minutes after the scheduled timing until you show up at reception and you didn't apologize. Right? Yes, you booked a private tour of Cidade Velha only and you asked if you can join the open group Praia City tour from Cidade Velha. We changed the itinerary and timing of all customers just to fulfill your request. At the end of the day you came to tell me you didn't like one of the group participants because according to you: He was very boring! Sorry for that! Kind Regards

Excellent tour

We took a tour of cidade velha, which was excellent. Our guide Zenildo took a lot of time to show interesting sights and explain the goings-on of the island. Communication was quick and clear, the driver was fine. Would definitely recommend.

Better than I'd ever imagined!

Exceeding expectations is an understatement. I’ve been on several tours around the globe, but I’ve never experienced anything like this! A full immersion experience of culture, food, people, art, and humanity. From end-to-end the trip was packed with fun and excitement, blended with history lessons in between. Admilson’s mastery of not only the Cape Verde landscape, but the several languages he spoke and the attention to detail that was specific to the goals my wife and I looked to gain from the tour, was look nothing I’d ever seen before. I highly recommend him and his company to anyone that’s looking to get the most out of their time in CV and or their vacation. Wish we had more time, would have loved to do and see more.
