I felt really on edge about the idea of quad biking around on my holiday, but Paulo made me feel so at ease for the moment i spoke to him. He was very reassuring and patient. He was kind enough to give us water in our small break and told us about the history of some parts of Portugal. I would highly recommend Paulo and this company. Thank you!

Very great experience. I have been called 1 day before and Tour Operator suggested to swap quad to buggy as they were getting customers feedback that riding quad for 6 hours is not really comfy for 2 people on it. We agreed to swap and this was really good decision as otherwise riding one quad with two people on it will be overkilling.

Amazing experience on the quad bike tour ! We got to stop and see a castle as well ! Lots of different paths and tracks that you normally wouldn’t be able to see ! Our instructor Lewis was very nice and fair ! Pay rise needed ! thanks again for our quad biking tour we loved it!

excellent experience with our tour guide Fernando today. An experience we will always remember. 5 stars.

It was very exciting and interesting also the tour guides was friendly.
