Briefly but in detail - During a fairly short tour we saw the main landmarks of the island. The guide was kind and told us important information about the island. The tour is worth the price.

Great way to see Sal - Great half day seeing all the sights of Sal. We started with the lemon sharks which was the best! Be aware the blue eye doesn’t really happen other than in August, according to our guide, although it was still an interesting place to visit. The guide (Kiki?) was fun and informative, although we would probably have liked more detail of what we were about to do! Definitely recommend the trip.

Nice tour! - The tourguide knew how to tell a lot of information, super nice! Very cute to see those baby sharks, a really nice experience. In this period the blue eye is less visible, so that was a pity, but still a nice environment there.

Anything but "No Stress" - The destinations themselves were quite nice. It's good to have experienced that. Overall, however, the trip with 4 hours is probably generally very close. Our guide has also stressed us quite a bit. He didn't make a particularly relaxed impression on the way out, was quite racing and reeled down the information to the next program item rather quickly during the trip (since translating information for child and non-English-speaking grandparents was practically impossible). Instead of specifying a window of opportunity to continue at the respective location, we were "guided through" quite frantically. After being given the opportunity to use the toilet at the salt lake (which took a while due to the crowds) we were quite stressed asked to hurry, because we would have to move on soon. Similar to the Blue Eye, where we didn’t even have the opportunity to go to the toilet anymore because the waiting time due to the queue would have overstretched the patience of our guide. I also found it very unprofessional that our guide asked us to leave the front row free on the bus (my son, who was the only child on this trip, would have liked to have sat further ahead) because 2 Portuguese would come along and who would be "closer" to him due to the language. If you're tired of seeing the spots in a quick run, that's OK. We would have preferred a more relaxed trip as a family with 3 generations.
