The tour was very well organised and thorough, and the team from Bu Country Tours was super accommodating and easy to communicate with. I was lucky enough to do this tour on my own with Alex, who taught me a lot about the culture and history of Cabo Verde. He was super informative and willing to answer all my questions, and he was generally a joy to spend the day with. Would absolutely recommend this tour!
