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.”
