Magnificent hike!! - Magnificent hike with a guide speaking excellent French, very friendly, passionate and exciting. The Paul Valley is a must-see. I asked to stop for lunch and the guide was very flexible and took me to a fantastic family restaurant. It was the best meal I had on Sao Antao. Unfortunately I don't remember the name anymore. I recommend this company and this excursion.

Excellent Agency - They are focused on you - Excellent everything from BU Country Tours.
Very experienced guide and a wonderful treatment to us. We have lot of problems with our arrival to Cape Verde and they were very flexible and helpful with us to adapt at our changing times.
It was a completely pleasure to visit Sao Vicente and Santo Antao with BU. 100% RECOMMENDABLE.
