Amazing trip on são tomé - My trip in São Tomé was amazing. Sipson was my tour guide. He is very knowledgeable, patience and very kind. We went on many sight seeeing and I was able to see the whole island showed island thanks to him.
I recommend visiting São Tomé and choosing Sipson as your guide.

The tiny African country you should not miss - Sao Tome was always on my bucket list and thanks to Sipson Tours I was able to get a great perspective and tour of the island. Sipson was very knowledgeable about his country, was a perfectly pleasant guide, prompt and engaging. I learned and saw a lot. For those who plan to go understand that it is not necessarily the destinations on the tours, but getting to them. The drives in all directions are beautiful, sometimes bumpy, but gorgeous scenery and great glimpses of the towns, beaches and mountains. Make sure you visit the suggested lunch stops on both the north and south tour. Beautiful spots and great food. There are very few English guides, so grab Sipson's services when you can. The country is going to be a growing tourist destination for sure... go now before everyone gets there. It does need some infrastructure improvements but I am sure they will come.

Southside of STP - We had a great experience on this tour. We had Sipson drive us to Tamarindo beach on a Saturday afternoon and had a nice lazy afternoon with a wonderful lunch.
Then, two days later, we went on a full day tour with him. Unfortunately, Sipson didn't feel well, but he got his colleague, Quimi, to fill in for him, and we had a great time with him! We did more of the South Island, visiting beaches, Isla de Rolas (equator mark) and seeing the volcanoes. Quimi was very knowledgable from trees and plants to fun facts about STP.
Cheers to both guides and this beautiful country

5 stars - We made the visits with Jaime and it was 5 stars. A kindness from another world, explained the history of São Tomé, showed us the endemic trees, gave us to taste the fruits and, above all, was the best company we could have had in the days we spent on the island. Thank you Jaime. You'll always be in our heart ❤️

A great insight into the country - I would highly recommend taking colouring pencils/crayons and colouring books for the children in the fishing villages - they are so lovely 😍

Surprising São Tomé - Our day tour was very well planned and we had an exciting and interesting day. Our guide Yoane was TERRIFIC. Ask to include the artist’s centre (in an abandoned factory) on your tour, it was a highlight!

Amazing tour with an amazing guide! - Amazing tour company, so easy to organise via WhatsApp., professional throughout.
Our guide made the trip what it was. Bonifacio has a wealth of knowledge he is ready to share with you. His knowledge of the local flora and its use as medicinal or culinary ingredients was impressive. Everywhere we went, he was waved at and greeted, apparently "if you grow up on Sao Tome, you know a lot of people!"
The south island tour was perfect for us. We visited all the places itemised in the tour schedule and more, but never felt rushed or hurried.
Bonifacio's linguistical talents were second to none, speaking four languages and keen to further develop those he was not as confident in.
If you want to see the south coast, stand on the equator, visit beautiful beaches and generally experience island life, then don't hesitate to book this tour with this company - you'll not be disappointed.
Memories to last a lifetime, thank you.

Nice way to see a beautiful island - We arrived via cruise ship. We were met at the port as agreed. Prior to arrival, my texts on WhatsApp were answered quickly. Our guide spoke good English and gave lots of information. There were four of us in a small car, not a 4x4 as described on the website so that was uncomfortable. We did most things as described except seeing the waterfall or the boat ride to see the monkeys. The island is beautiful and worth seeing!

Disappointed, 3 stars not 5 ! - Our tour with Sipson was booked months ahead. We were on a cruise ship stop. He was supposed to provide a vehicle with air conditioning , it took 3 tries but he did finally get one. Unfortunately the guide he provided, a young man, did not explain where we were going, what we were seeing, the history and significance of it etc. so many places we visited we had no information on. He did try to respond when asked directly but it was difficult to hear and understand him. I do not blame the guide, it was up to the tour operator to train him first. Also I think the operator booked more tours than he could handle and so the quality to us suffered. We were disappointed because we expected a 5 star experience.
