The quad biking was a great way to see the island (Gozo) and Michael and Mark were brilliant guides who were happy to share their knowledge (and answer our dumb questions!). Heartily recommend booking this tour, has been a highlight for all of us.

Lovely place worth a visit, me and my girlfriend are both to young to have watched Popeye but still a cool visit!

We had great communication from the host about a change of location. Lovely and friendly staff.
