4 hours on Santiago Island from Praia to Cidade Velha, colorful markets, monuments, and Cape Verde history for a cruise stop.
“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 on Fogo’s west, from São Filipe’s sobradôs and Igreja Nossa Senhora da Conceição to the volcanic Salinas pool 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.”
