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.

From the very beginning, everything was easy. They speak several languages, including Spanish. They answer all your questions and help you with anything you need. They are friendly, punctual, honest, and respond quickly to any problems you might have. The cars are new and well-maintained, and the value for money was the best I saw in the country. Thank you for your attention and help, especially to Alejandro, who assisted us with everything we needed.Published in Pedro Veiga Tomé20/01/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Excellent experience with Privilege Tours! I spent some time and used a car for a day to walk with my friends. New car, comfortable, incredible adventure and very friendly birds of prey. I recommend!Published in Lillian Young10/01/2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Responsive, easy car rentals and SIM cards. Rented a car for a couple of days, car was in great condition exactly as described. They showed up promptly at the airport (30m earlier than the original stated time as our flight came early), and arrived to pick up the car at the airport precisely as well. No issues with the car, responsive on WhatsApp, and getting a sim on arrival made a huge difference as the airport didn't have any.Published in JHC17/11/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Excellent service. 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. I recommend Privilege Tours to travel to S. Tomé. Pleasant experience!Published in Ruben Alvarez Sanchez21/10/2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
