Very committed and competent tour guides (thanks again to Ricardo for everything), who also imparted a lot of interesting facts about culture and nature along the way. Exemplary communication and organization also from the BuCountry Tours office.

The tour was one of my best experience travelling with the family around the world. Admilson, Rita, Walter and all the nice people we met along the tour made this experience truly unforgettable with their dedication and personal attention to details went above and beyond. All the activities were very interesting and really made us feel immersed in the local culture and discover the magnificent landscapes of Santiago Island. The team made sure that all the sanitary measures were taken place to ensure we could make the best of this experience during the on-going COVID-19 Pandemic. The food was excellent and all the accommodations we stayed at during our stay were very good. Highly recommend this tour, we already decided to go back in a couple of months to visit more islands with Bu Country Tour. Obrigado!
