An all-round successful excursion that we can recommend 100%. Everything was really right, whether punctual pickup, the individual stages, delicious tapas and not to forget our super competent, very nice guide (Ren'e?). Although we have been coming to the island for almost 30 years, he has given us a lot of new impressions.

Roberto and Gino were great guides and took us around the island to see the aloe vera production, goat cheese factory, the elephant mountain and much more. It was a fun day with great new things to learn. Thank you both!

Very good driver and guide, very informative and interesting
