Walking tour of Sal Rei and local speciality tasting at Sodade House of Culture

What to expect

A blend of African, Brazilian and Portuguese influences make Boa Vista's capital, Sal Rei, a riot of colour. On this tour, you'll sample Cape Verdean specialities, visit markets vibrant with local life and enjoy a guided tour of the town's most interesting locations. First up is a trip to the recently restored Fatima chapel – a windswept sanctuary with a beautiful simplicity on a rocky bluff just north of Sal Rei. From here, you can take in the views over the coast towards the capital. Next, we'll explore the island's past in both the Sea and Shipwreck Museums. Admire a collection of exhibits from underwater archaeological finds and artworks that reflect on the history of the island.We dial the volume up a bit next with a visit to the market. Mingle with locals as you browse the handmade jewellery, clothing and fresh produce on display. Then, it's on to Sodade House of Culture for a chance to taste some local specialities, before some free time. You'll round off with lunch and some more exploration time at your disposal – visit the pretty church of St Isabel or head to one of Sal Rei's great beaches for a paddle or a coffee with a view.

Die "Ganztägige" Tagestour war ungefähr 4 Stunden lang, und beinhaltete den Besuch einer Kapelle sowie 2 Museen, der Eintritt in beide Museen zusammen beträgt ungefähr 10€, ob ich dafür wieder so viel Geld ausgeben möchte weiß ich nicht. Die Fach und Ortskentniss des Reiseführer's war sehr gut. Die Englischen Teilnehmer der Führung konnten das Essen weg lassen, wir 3 nicht Briten nicht, auch etwas wo ich mich etwas übervorteilt fühle. Unterm Strich, kann man machen.......

insgesamt sehr gute Tour mit profesioneller Führung (Paulo Cesar) und netten Gastgebern vor Ort. gerne hätten wir aber mehr Zeit für jeden Stopp der Tour gehabt. die zwei Museen wurden im schnellen Tempo durchgeganen "weil Tui das so bestellt hat". ich würde lieber früher starten wollen oder später zurück ins Hotel sein, als insteressante Infos und Details vor Ort zu verpassen.

Positives: Guide Tour, Paulo, and food was amazing. Negative: They totally forgot to pick us up. TUI's just so irresponsible and unorganized. We couldn't even get online or call them. Luckily, our tour guide, Paulo, saved us. He was off work but saw us and called TUI.

2 couples were doing the full day event. One couple wasn't taken to the restaurant. Restaurant wasn't advised and this caused lengthy delays for my wife and I. Better communication would have avoided this. A visit to the market was on the itinerary and this was missed out even though there was free time available. Had we been told where the market was we could have visited. For those left to explore in the afternoon, a map of the town would have been good. Tour was great. Lunch amazing!

wat wordt aangekondigd als een dagexcursie was eigenlijk een halve dagexcursie, enkel met een 'middagmaal' aangevuld en daarna jezelf bezig houden tot je wordt opgehaald, maw beter de halve dag uitstap kiezen

Ställen som besöktes var bra men guiden okunnig vi gick förbi monumentet för deras självständighet utan att detta nämndes. Om det står att lunch ingår i turen är det viktigt att det serveras då det kan bli farligt för en diabetiker

Deze tour was erg leuk, alleen dan wel als je liefhebber bent van musea bezoeken. Het eten was echt super lekker, met een mooi uitzicht vanaf het dakterras. Dit was een mooie afsluiting. Echter is de tijd welke je hebt na het eten wat ons betreft te lang. Tevens zit je hier wel zonder gids (12:00 t/m 15:00 uur.) dit was wat ons betreft te lang.

We really enjoyed the restaurant, The food, The view and service was out of this world definitely the best part of the trip. All the stops before the restaurant are to rushed, to many people trying to get into small place taking 71 people into converted houses. Maybe do smaller groups on more days. I find it upsetting that Tui Reps at the resort would rather you did the half day than the full so glad we stood our ground and did the full day, as we would have missed the beautiful views .

Both guides were very informative and friendly. Shame St Fatima's Chapel was closed, but the guides were unphased by this. One of the museums was like a junk shop, could be cut out. It would gave been good to spend more time in the second, it was so interesting and 'Jack sparrow' had a great deal more to say. Food and drink tasting was great, would have liked info on where to buy it from. Lunch was lovely

We werden een half uur later opgehaald dan de afgesproken tijd. Toen bleek dat er niet voor alle deelnemers plek was in het busje. We werden met 8 mensen in een auto gepropt. Aangezien er niet echt een weg was naar de eerste stop was dit niet bevorderlijk voor je rug. Het museum Naufraghi was mooi en er werd een goed verhaal verteld. De proeverijen was 1 proeverij en ook hier weer niet gerekend op het aantal mensen van de groep. Wij hebben 59,- betaald en wat ectra was was de lunch.

Eiland erg kaal. Kerkje erg eenvoudig. Hoofdstad Sal Rei troosteloos. Veel leegstaande en slecht onderhouden gebouwen. Armoede. Twee kleine musea bezocht. De gids was geweldig. Wij hadden de ‘full day’ geboekt en betaald. We bleken te zijn ingedeeld bij de halve dagtour en kregen sterk de indruk dat het daarbij bleef. Later werd voor ons alsnog een (goede!) lunch geregeld en even zwemmen bij de haven. Een busje bracht ons om 15 uur terug. Dat heet een hele dagtocht…

Eerste museum (van de zee) stelt niet veel voor. 2de is stuk interessanter. Middagmaal bij volledige dag was suuuuper. Halve dag uitstap is identiek, enkel het middagmaal en wat extra vrije tijd valt weg. Wie niet graag alleen verkent: halve wat uitstap is voldoende. Voor ons was die extra tijd super!

The morning was TBH not very good. The church we were taken to first was locked, followed by visits to small, higldy pigeldy maritime and pirate museums, situated in people houses. The pirate museum did have a bar on the top deck which we had favoured grog (nice). The lunch however was amasing (rooftop at Porton Di Nos Ilha) - Portuguese with Cape Verde Twist (Wahoo steak, Honey and Goats Cheese etc). Swimming in the town beach in the afternoon was good too.

Wir waren 9 in der Gruppe und ich war der einzige, der auch den Nachmittag mit gebucht hatte. Dadurch mussten wir uns vormittags sehr beeilien, weil die anderen doch noch Sachen sehen wollten, die eigentlich in meinem Nachmittagsprogramm vorgesehen waren. Gut war der TUI-Reisebegleiter. Ein Kap Verder mit hervorragenden Deutschkenntnissen und großer Kenntnis über die Insel und die Stadt. Als ich am Nachmittag allein mit ihm war ist er immer auf meine Wünsche eingegangen.
