We had a really nice tour with Allesandro. He was a very good driver, had a pleasant personality, and provided a lot of information about the various sights on the tour. The communication with the tour company was helpful and accurate. I would not hesitate to use this tour company and Allesandro again.

Visite de Cidade Velha avec chauffeur et guide privé (Americano) très sympathiques. Nous avons appris beaucoup de choses intéressantes sur l’histoire du Cap Vert et sa colonisation. Ensuite nous sommes allés voir Praia et son incroyable marché. C’est un tour que nous recommandons vivement pour découvrir Praia et ses environs, à la hauteur de nos attentes.
