Good variety of sights, good scenery, friendly guides - I really enjoyed this day. We stopped at quite a few interesting places on the way to the south of the island, including a couple of roças (in very different states of repair), some landscape features and two beaches. The scenery was lovely! My driver/guide Cirilo(?) was friendly and spoke good English. Sipson himself joined us with another family at Porte Alegre, and we did the crossing to Ilha das Rolas together (saving me €10 on the boat). Sipson was keen to check I was having a good time, which I was! There's a nice view northwards from the Equator Marker towards São Tomé. After this we went for lunch (my choice, and at my expense) on a very pretty beach, and I was delighted that they'd remembered my food allergy. While the day is 5*, people should be aware that on windy days you're going to get a bit splashed on the crossing in a low fishing boat, so wear old clothes and bring a plastic covering for anything valuable. Also note it's quite a long drive back from Porto Alegre to São Tomé (approx. 2hrs 15mins), which is more noticable without the stops.

A beautiful and interesting experience in complete safety - The best guide in Sao Tome, he speaks English perfectly. He tells and knows the story of Sao Tome by heart.
They will make you discover the fauna and flora with many great anecdote. Sipson helped me throughout my trip because I don't speak Portuguese and it made me feel like home I recommend x10000

Visit to the southern part of the island of São Tomé, including the Ilhéu das Rolas. - It all went well...The Simpson guide is 5 stars... He knows the area well, is always ready to help whatever...
The places visited demonstrate the reality of life in São Tomé.... The entire population in general is very friendly

Incredible experience with Sipson tours at São Tomé and Principe island - The tours with Sipson tours was a rewarding experience. As a female solo traveler, safety was important to me and Sipson tours did an incredible job ensuring I got all the information I needed regarding restaurants to visit, and places to visit in the evening to experience the night life. He is a friendly guide, speaks great English and knows all the great spots aside the major tourist centers. Definitely recommend Sipson tours for anyone visiting São Tomé and Principe; beautiful country with amazing people!

- We did two tours with Sipson in São Tomé and had an amazing time! He’s a really cool guy—friendly, knowledgeable, and speaks great English. He showed us some beautiful spots, shared interesting stories, and was super helpful the whole way. Highly recommended if you want a relaxed and informative experience on the island!

Exceptional - Sipson was a fantastic guide during our time in São Tomé. He speaks excellent English, is very knowledgeable about his country, and made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable. From the drive to the boat trip to Battery Beach and Rolas, everything was well organized. The trip wouldn’t have been the same without him — we truly felt like we made a friend along the way. Highly recommended!
