Unser Guide Elisandro (hoffentlich habe ich den Namen richtig geschrieben,) war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und hat uns jede Frage geduldig beantwortet. Zudem hat er unseren Zusatzwunsch zur Verkostung lokaler Spezialitäten in einem schönen Restaurant in Praia ermöglicht, was nicht selbstverständlich ist. Auch unser Fahrer Domingo war stets freundlich und geduldig. Insgesamt ein großes Dankeschön für diesen tollen Tag!

Thank you Elzo All Dias for a wonderful tour of the island with the driver My Didi, who was a very careful and competent driver. We saw the key highlights and enjoyed some beautiful views. Elzo was very knowledgeable about the island - its history, terrain, plants, birds and geology. He spoke excellent English and was very enthusiastic.
