Great tour with local guide, Djon. Bought on the beach from Ola Tours No Stress. Djon is a local so he will anwer all questions about islands! He knows everyone, plan of the trip can be adjusted. There is an option for private tour - little more expensive but definately worth the price. Ola was helpful for whole week, even after the trip he was giving us advices and we were talking many times! Both Ola and Djon were amazing! Very nice, honest, helpful. There are no worries being ripped off! You can tell they love island and their job! Both Djon and Ola are now vaccinated so travelling with them is covid-safe.jpwahnon

It is amazing how many gems there are on the island - my phone is filled with breathtaking photos. You get to see sharks up close, amazing views of the water at Buracona/blue eye, salt mines, a mirage and more! It is the best way to experience the diversity of the island's land, neighborhoods, and culture. Be sure to book the excursion!459libanm

I spent a wonderful day with Irnando and his partner. He was extremely kind, helpful and informative about the history and places of the island and Cape Verde. He will not hesitate to share the good moments of the visit with you by diving or taking pictures of you according to your wishes. He offers you an authentic and singular day by allowing you to immerse yourself in the daily life of his family during a meal shared with his mother and grandmother who were of an enormous kindness and a family welcome. Thank you again for this incredible day Irnandoericomumen
