    The trip was fantastic. The circuit was in line with what we were looking for and we were not disappointed at all. We have been to Santiago, Fogo, Santo Antão and San Vicente, and the experience in all of them was great. Communication prior to departure has been continuous and Bu Country tours has responded quickly to all the questions we were asking. The accommodations have been very good in all the places we have visited. The guides and drivers were also very competent and pleasant, which made the excursions very enjoyable. I would definitely recommend Bu Country Tours to visit Cape Verde.
