We had a wonderful day at Sao Vincente and in Mindelo. Our guide Helton was able to tell us a lot about the history of the island and city and answer all our questions with expertise and humour. With a lot of helpfulness and empathy, he has responded to our special needs that travelling with a wheelchair driver brings with it. Helton and our driver actively supported us, especially when getting in and out of the vehicle. We can recommend Actour without reservation. Thank you for everything!

We traveled to Cabo Verde with our family of 9 for the Eastern break. Actour booked our domestic flights, ferries, transport from airports to hotels, tours of all the islands (we visited Boa Vista, Sal, Santiago, Fogo, Santo Vicente and Sao Antao), hiking trips in Fogo and Sao Antao. It was the best holiday :-)! Everything was perfectly planned, all drivers were always on time, we never had to worry about anything. Even when we decided the day before to do an extra tour or when the flights were changed, they took care of everything. It was very easy to get in touch with Actour by whatsapp/ phone before and during our trip. All guides and drivers spoke English or French. We first planned to do everything ourselves with rental cars, but once we were in Cabo Verde, we were so very glad it was all planned for us because I think it would have been a lot of stress to drive ourselves. It was a lovely ‘no stress’ holiday. We would highly recommend booking your trip with Actour!

Today's trip to Santo Antão was amazing! The guide was super nice, attentive (my mum has limited mobility) and most of all, very informative. We enjoyed every moment. Also the Divin Art lunch was awesome and a good value for money (€10 for various local dishes+ dessert and coffee, an absolute bargain)! Full five stars and can easily recommend ACtour and our local guide Gerson for a day tour by car, but they also arrange hiking tours. If you want a reliable guide who speaks excellent English, and a well-organised trip, these are the guys you want! ❤️
