Chan is the best! - Chan or Shan (unsure on spelling) is the best guide! We had a great time! Sad we didn't have him again on our full day trip. So knowledgeable about the city. Thank you so much! If I'm coming back to the island definitely booking with him again!

C4 island tour - We went on o full island tour with Elisandro and his Dad , Aldaberto, and we had the best day! We saw the most beautiful sights with interesting facts and insider knowledge from Aldaberto; we couldn’t have asked for a better day. We swam with the lemon sharks (bring €3 for your beach shoes,a must) and were taken in to the sea with a guide who knew how to get the sharks to swim around us. (We’d bought my son an underwater camera for his birthday and the footage is incredible!!) We also went to the salt lakes where we floated for half an hour! The children were amazed,and the adults not much less so!! The ‘blue eye’ was as one of the most incredible things I’ve seen…and we got to jump to queue thanks to our wonderful guide!! It was an incredible tour where we didn’t feel rushed or hurried along. We also had a photographer with us for the day, Honaldo (sp,sorry!) who has given us the most precious photos of our day on the island. They are some of the most beautiful photos we have as a family. When we met Elisandro on the beach we booked with him in the hope of a good day for my son’s 9th birthday treat while we were here. What we experienced was the most incredible day, full of once in a lifetime experiences and happiness. (A side note, it’s worth being more euros/CVS than you think you need as few places accept cards). If you book with C4, Elisandro, Aldaberto and Hondaldo, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you Team C4.

Insight into local living on Sal - Our guide Chan was born and lives in Espargos and gave us a very personal insight into the history and lives of people in Sal's capital. A few of the facts had been covered in the Sal experience tour we had done the previous day but this one provided more time to experience Sal away from the the main tourist areas of the island and Santa Maria. Chan brought to life the community spirit of the town and is clearly well know and liked by them! We ended with some tasty local small bites, dontrybthebmaize cake, and with tamarind and boa juices. Chan's enthusiasm was infectious and we would recommend this tour for those wanting to spend a moment with the welcoming Capoverdians. Thank you Chan

no interest - City without interest, the only interesting point is the local market. Restaurant ESPLANADA simple but good fresh fish, fresh vegetable

Fraudsters - I recommend not to hire the excursion of the island of salt in Cape Verde in the port, we have been conned with the price and in the end we had to pay 10 euros more. I don't know the name of the company but I attach photo with the phone, the boss is called Fabricio and you contract a price with him and his employees then ask for another amount.
