Super expérience ! Merci pour ce moment et cette visite très enrichissante. L’échange était très agréable. Nous avons passé une super journée, le conducteur a été très attentif à notre bien être tout comme notre guide. Le petit détour chez mama louisa est un passage obligatoire si vous venez au cap vert. Nous avons tellement aimé cette journée que nous avons prit une autre excursion pour le lendemain. MERCI

I loved and enjoyed this day trip tour very much! :) It was totally fun driving in the van with the small group of different people from other countries and having exchanges... The Cuscuz and Fidjós workshop at Luisa's house was so amazing and of course the food was so delicious! :D I enjoyed all the stops on the way to Tarrafal beach, which is so special with its colours and joyful waves... It was an very amazing trip full of joy, music, sun, nice people, fresh coconut water and many more...;) Thanks to the very nice and lovely team of Bu Country Tours: You guys are amazing!
