Fabulous tour

Published on May, 2024

Excellent value and amazing sights, so much crammed into a whole day tour and Flavio was an excellent host and driver. We had a great time, the only way to see the island with limited time and on a budget.

Fab day out.

Published on Mar, 2024

A great trip. Guide/driver was very chatty with lots of information which helped pass the time. It's a long day. We booked last minute (night before) and the e ticket and comms were efficient.. It was a shame the sea was too rough for swimming.

Highly recommended tour!

Published on Feb, 2024

Our driver and guide Tony was awesome! We learnt so much about the island, particularly the flora and fauna which I loved. A great way to see so many unique places on the island. We were a family of five and our group had twelve in total which was a perfect size. Loved the two hour Porto Moniz stop. The natural pools were wonderful.

Michael, our guide was so...

Published on Jan, 2024

Michael, our guide was so informative and passionate ate about his island. Great to be in a small group and be able to make so many stops and see so much you wouldn't see on a coach. Highly recommended
