We ♥ Cabo Verde!

How we work
We aim to offer interesting and different types of tailor-made trips – off the beaten track. We combine the Cape Verdean lifestyle with European quality standards. We cultivate a gentle and sustainable way of travelling.
We choose our partners carefully and have known most of them for many years. We closely involve the local population in our itineraries and aim to create a positive exchange between travellers and locals. Our focus is on working with small and local businesses, as we believe that only they can provide a family environment and help you discover the true soul of Cabo Verde.
We organise your trip directly from Cape Verde and personally assist you before, during and after your trip. Our travel agents and partners are located in Europe and on all the main Capeverdean Islands.
If you like to travel sustainably and responsibly, be our guest!
How it all began
Soul Tours was founded in 2008 by the Swiss-Capeverdian Milton Gonçalves.
Prior to this, the trained insurance salesman worked for the DEZA (Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation).
During his participation in the Swiss reality TV show “Expedition Robinson”, the passionate traveller had the idea to found a travel agency for Cape Verde.

Just “sustainable” is not enough. We are committed to the regeneration of regions and their tourism.
We actively promote the environmental awareness of our customers, partners and employees.
We avoid the use of paper in our office and in the travel documents of our guests.
We prefer accommodation that respects the environment.
We are a member of the “Travelers Against Plastic” initiative.
We donate a portion of the profits from each trip sold to associations that actively protect the environment in Cabo Verde.
We work with small and medium-sized enterprises and thus promote local structures.
For every trip sold, we donate a portion of the proceeds to charitable organizations in Cabo Verde.
Our customer advisors and support staff work independently of location so that they can travel themselves.
We adhere to our values and constantly reflect on whether we can adhere to them or implement them even better.
