Aldecio was our guide and driver during a week of discovery of the island of Sao Tome and made this trip unforgettable! Adelcio, in addition to knowing perfectly the history and culture of Sao Tome and sharing his love for his island, takes particular care to adapt the programme to each of the participants. His smile, his joie de vivre and his immense generosity have made this trip an exceptional experience. Adelcio is an excellent professional, very punctual and very reliable. I recommend a thousand times to discover Sao Tome with Aldecio! Thank you!

Exceptional! Ban Be Non are a true rare gem of a tour agency - these guys are so professional and honestly, like a personal concierge service in Sao Tome! I can highly highly recommend. They're very well-equipped with some of the additional challenges of travel during Covid, and they literally do EVERYTHING to make sure you aren't stressed about that (including even going to the bank to pay for my test so I wouldn't waste time!). They're super flexible, extremely responsive and just top notch experts in every respect. Thanks to Ban Be Non I had a 10/10 trip to Sao Tome and couldn't have done it without them! Thank you!
