Elvin makes everything possible!!!🤩 - Elvin organized everything great once again. We are the fourth time on Sal and would always take Elvin. Once we were here in October and had booked with another. Watch turtles laying eggs. Unfortunately, we haven't seen any. Two days later we did it again with Elvin. He promised us that we would see it and we saw it. Once Elvin, always Elvin. He speaks super German and if he can't with he organizes someone who speaks German.

Great island tour with Elvin - Great tour with Elvin. Unfortunately it was the only rainy day in April and the Black Eye and the mirage could not be seen.
Everything else worked very well and there was a lot of information told about the island of Sal. Elvin speaks super German and Letzeburgish 😀 so the tour is highly recommended for German speaking tourists.
Thanks Elvin for the great tour.

Well worth every penny! Amazing experience! - Eddie was an amazing tour guide from start to finish this tour is worth every single penny. You can see the entire island in half a day with Eddie, he even took us to a great spot to see the Salt plains. Communication was 10/10 and I knew exactly where to go and what time. Very experienced and gave us local knowledge. Book this tour you will not regret it! I will never regret booking tours with local people!

Recommended island tour - The full-day tour of Sal Island was a great experience. Elvin took a lot of time and answered all of our questions. You get a good impression of life on Sal.
We also booked a tour to the Zip Line via Elvin and that worked out perfectly and was a great experience!
We can fully recommend Elvin and his team!

Tolle Sal Inseltour - As agreed in advance we were picked up on time at the hotel in the small air-conditioned bus.
Island tour (German language) took place in a small group, but to notice that Elvin also knows other languages and I could even talk to him in Luxembourgish.
Great information about the small island and free according to the motto “No Stress” Elvin took time to give everything the appropriate answers.
The course of the very interesting tour was also adjusted in time and the dawdling in the group (over an hour over) was accepted without comment.
We would definitely book without hesitation again with Elvin Alves.
