  • Cape Verde: The Royal Routes of Santiago Island - 4 Days (History & Culture) reviewer 1
    · August 19th, 2022
    I had the pleasure of doing a tour with Bu Country Tours on 9/3/2021 - 9/9/2021. I thoroughly enjoyed my tours with this company. Each staff member went above and beyond to assist us in all our needs. On the last day of the Admilson surprised us and took us back to Bar Restaurante Do Mundo for dinner(by the way, I raved about the tuna dish I had from there the entire trip)! After dinner, he also went above and beyond the call of duty by taking us to the grocery store to pick up local spices and items for us to take home. This company coordinated everything (transportation to and from the airport, transportation to the different cities, covid tests, and obtaining results), and everything went smoothly. I can't rave enough about this company as they provided excellent service! If you're ever in Cape Verde or the surrounding islands, please consider Bu Country Tours.

    It was a fantastic few days in Cape Verde, where we discovered culture and leisure. The guide was fantastic, super friendly, with in-depth knowledge of the island and a language that was very accessible to those with children. We loved it
