The best way to explore the island.

We don't have any drivers licens, so it was the perfect way for us to go see some of the most beautiful places of the island. The guide was very informative and nice to be around. She even took us to some of her own spots, that was'nt mentioned in the booking. We also had a trainee with us, who was really kind and helpfull. So we were 4 people in all, 2 of them our guides! Perfect day, full of amazing things to do and see
