Edson was a wonderful...
Edson was a wonderful guide, very friendly and knowledgeable. This tour is excellent for getting an overview of the Praia Plateau and Cideda Velha. Also learned a lot of interesting facts about the history of Cabo Verde.

Praia Walking Tour Local Markets and Historic Buildings
Insight into life in Praia
After a mix up with another couple mistakenly taking our guide, we were underway for our tour. Elder was super friendly & informed us of the history & culture of this interesting city. It was well paced & he kept to our tight schedule.
