There was no guide and no excursion at all. We have basically paid for taxi from Praia to Cidade Velha, without any guided tour. The driver barely spoke French/English, despite our questions he didn’t admit directly the absence of a guide. Finally, he told us that the actual guide has been occupied and the travel agency sent him alone to accompany us. Super strange, as the tour description mentioned English-speaking guide!!!
10 euros fee for entry to fortress San Felipe wasn’t included neither.
Our driver wasn’t even instructed about principal monuments he was supposed to drive us to!
I don’t recommend this experience, it would be cheaper to take a regular taxi and explore Cidade Velha by ourselves with no rush.
