A short list on purpose: the 8 historical tours worth a slot in the week, each with its price, its length and the one detail that decides it.
Small-group half-day tour from Praia to UNESCO Cidade Velha, with City Hall sights, markets, Banana Street, and Cathedral ruins.

Guided Praia and Cidade Velha tour from Santiago. See markets, a Portuguese church, then World Heritage Old City in 3 to 4 hours.
“It was a wonderful experience in Cidade Velha, the tour guide was very profecional and explained everything very clear, we fully recomend this tour with Kapverden tours”
Explore Praia Plateau’s colonial sights and markets, then eat Cape Verde’s classic lunch with locals on a 3 to 4 hour tour.
“Wir wurden vom Führer zunächst durch Praia geführt. Es wurden viele Sehenswürdigkeiten gezeigt. Danach ging es auf den Markt, danach zu einem privaten Kochevent in den Bergen. Das anschließende gemeinsame Essen mit den Gastgebern hat uns sehr gefallen.”
3-hour guided shore tour in Santiago, Cape Verde, blending Praia markets with UNESCO Cidade Velha landmarks, port pickup included.
“Garcia was a fantastic guide. He was knowledgeable, personable and flexible. We had an amazing time and wonderful memories of the island!”
A 3-hour guided walk in Praia’s historic center, plus lighthouse views and a lunch with locals, with convenient pickup and small-group pacing.
“Was sold as a private tour according to my booking voucher. Under the "Additional info" section of both this tour and the Cidade Velha tour, it was indicated that "This is a private tour. Only your group will participate". It seems that they have changed it now but their duplicity on this stance was uncalled for.”
4-hour cultural tour of Praia and Cidade Velha on Santiago Island, with markets, heritage monuments, and a multilingual local guide.
“Tour molto piacevole con accompagnatore giovane ma già preparato ed estremamente disponibile alle spiegazioni e a fornire curiosità sui posti visitati. Interessante la visita al centro di Santiago ma soprattutto affascinante la vecchia capitale. Molto consigliato per avere un'idea dell'isola per le persone che hanno poco tempo a disposizione (nel nostro caso, tappa di crociera).”
Fogo half-day: walk São Filipe Sobrados and Igreja Nossa Senhora da Conceicao, then unwind at Salinas natural pool and try Calabaceira punch.
“The island of Fogo has a stunning beauty, just like its neighbor Brava. A welcoming and dynamic people who love their island. Fantastic experience climbing the volcano. Definitely a repeat visit.”
4-hour guided Sal island tour to Pedra de Lume salt pans and Santa Maria, with local guide, snack, and sea-view flavors.
“Génial, fantastique comme notre visite du tour de l'île. Rien à redire”
