The Privilege Tours story begins in 2017, when Jorge and Mariano visited São Tomé for the first time. What was initially a tourist trip quickly transformed into a deep connection with the island, its people, and its nature. From that love, Privilege Tours was born: an agency created to share the hidden treasures of São Tomé and Príncipe with travelers from around the world.
Although Jorge and Mariano are no longer physically with us, their vision lives on in every experience we design.
In 2022, Miguel Martín assumed leadership of the agency under the umbrella of The Africana Project, a business holding company committed to developing sustainable entrepreneurship and innovation in Africa. His arrival marked the beginning of a new era, combining the founding passion with a more strategic, professional, and international focus.
Since then, Privilege Tours has grown significantly, expanding its team, modernizing its services, and establishing strong partnerships with international tour operators. Today, we remain true to our purpose: not only organizing trips, but creating authentic experiences that connect every traveler with the profound soul of São Tomé and Príncipe.

Car in perfect conditions, guide (Leandro) very friendly, ready and knowledgeable about the history, fauna and flora of the island. The company is also happy to offer us a car for more than 1/2 a day, given that it is the day of my anniversary, so that we do not have to pay without the cost of transportation.

Our first trip to Africa was very special, not only for the incredible landscapes of São Tomé and Príncipe, but also for the peace of mind with which we were able to enjoy it, largely thanks to Alejandro. From the first contact to the end of the trip, he was always available and willing to help us. The country surprised us: secluded beaches like Jalé, Boom Boom, and Banana, lush nature, dreamy sunsets, and a welcome calm. The people, although reserved, made us feel safe and welcome. We tried many delicious dishes (we preferred the grouper) and loved seeing local life, with animals roaming everywhere. We took home precious memories and hope this paradise retains its essence for many years to come. The car we rented was new and accompanied us throughout the trip without any problems. Without a doubt, the best choice for getting around the country! Thank you, Alejandro, and the entire Privilege Tours team!Published in Arturo D04/04/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everything was perfect.
