We were told all about the vegetation, forests etc while we were travelling. We could ask questions & talk to each other. The views we saw were incredible. The smell of the eucalyptus trees when in the forests was unforgettable. We only had 5hrs or so and this was a fantastic adventure. We booked it at very short notice and got WhatsApp communication within 10mins, confirming time & place to meet. A really great day. Note to self:…”

The ride itself was our first of its kind (ages 62 and 54) and I would definitely recommend. What a great way to see the sights! Our guide Nuno was very informative and a genuinely good guy- we felt safe and comfortable the whole time. When we come back to the island, which is a must- we will definitely book them again.”
