Andrei – Czech Republic

Joaquim is an amazing guide and very humble and welcoming person. He gave us a lot of insights and interesting facts about everything we were curious about. We stopped at the couple of "secret" spots, where we experienced amazing views without many people. The ride was very pleasant and the views were spectacular. Lunch was very rich and tasty, we enjoyed every bit of it. We also enjoyed some casual talking with Joaquim and other people from our group. Overall, this trip was definitely the best experience we had throughout our holiday in San Miguel Island. Highly recommend this tour to anyone.
