CAPE VERDE
Cape Verde's classics.
The 8 historical tours travellers book most, with what each one is actually like, who runs it and what it costs.
Half-day Santiago tour from Praia to UNESCO Cidade Velha: City Hall walk, Mercado de Sucupira, São Filipe ruins and Banana Street.
“Alex was amazing ! So knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Our driver was also great. Learned a lot, and had a lot of fun. We were able to see everything in our own pace.”
Guided Praia tour plus Cidade Velha UNESCO sites: markets, a colonial church, and Cape Verdean culture origins in one half-day.
“Edson was a great guide, very knowledgeable and perfect English. The tour took us to the main historical parts of the city and it was very helpful to learn about the history of Cabo Verde”
3-hour guided look at Praia and UNESCO Cidade Velha in Santiago, Cape Verde. Port pickup, small group, key landmarks, easy pace.
“Garcia was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable, personable and flexible. We had an amazing time and wonderful memories of the island!”
Guided walk in Praia’s historic Plateau, colonial sights, markets, street art, and a traditional Cape Verde lunch with locals.
“Toller informativer Ausflug mit super Guides. Leckeres landestypisches Essen. Lebendige kurzweilige Stadtführung mit viel Engagement, Wissen und Leidenschaft. Sehr empfehlenswert.”
A guided historic walk in Praia with lighthouse views, Plateau landmarks, and lunch with locals, plus pickup in a small group.
“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…”
A 4-hour cultural tour of Praia and Cidade Velha on Santiago, with market time, guided history, and an optional fortress ticket.
“Tour molto piacevole con accompagnatore giovane ma già preparato ed estremamente disponibile alle spiegazioni e a fornire curiosità sui posti visitati. Interessante la visita al centro di Santiago ma soprattutto affascinante la vecchia capitale. Molto consigliato per avere un'idea dell'isola per le persone che hanno poco tempo a disposizione (nel nostro caso, tappa di crociera).”
Half-day Fogo Island circuit in São Filipe and Salinas, with Sobrados, an iconic church stop, and calabaceira punch.
“The trip showed a section of Fogo. Communication was difficult at times because our tour guide didn't speak English very well. The Salinas were impressive because the sea was very rough. Swimming would have been life-threatening.”
A 4-hour guided Sal tour mixing salt-caldera history, Santa Maria walking, and local tastings, with hotel pickup and a licensed guide.
“Génial, fantastique comme notre visite du tour de l'île. Rien à redire”
