“I'm usually cautious of tours because I get tired after a certain time and can't do ones that go on and on and on forever lol.

“We loved this walk, its about 2 hours of actual walking but gets you out the city and into nature from Praia. Not a long drive to the starting point and they pick you up at the end of the walk (point to point, not a loop) The area was beautiful and peaceful.
