The guide and driver was a nice lady that did both driving and tour guide Left us at several points to see the view and go around by ourselves. Great value for money.

Very informative. Marco was excellent. 2hrs in Ponto Moniz was necessary and excellent. Lots to see, full day excursion.

Informative and helpful company. Nice tour guide. Not the clearest English translation during the trip. Spoke in Portuguese to the Portuguese tourists too. Got a lot of back noise from the driver breathing over the mic the whole day. That got a bit irritating. Mini bus tour. The stops were a bit dull to be honest. Wouldn’t go to these particular places again.

Whether you are a seasoned traveler or not I have always learned the experience of meeting other people from different countries and learning about their culture is very exciting. Dino our tour guide does such an excellent in explaining in the language needed to make everyone comfortable.

The tour was nice. I appreciate our guide who despite having a bad day (agency logistics wise) he was nice, kind, funny and ensured we were all happy, informed and comfortable.

Overall ok, some of the stops didn’t add much to the day. The restaurant recommended for lunch was average. The guide was knowledgeable.

Lovely day taking in many sights on the island. Perfect opportunity to take in some history about the island approaching each location and then being given the opportunity to explore each area for a suitable length of time. Our host for the day and our driver were absolutely fantastic. I’m sorry their names have escaped me but we felt perfectly at ease with each of them. Would definitely recommend this trip. A relaxing way to explore!
