It was terrible. We did not return for the second day of boredom. The guide had no information to share with us, NOTHING!. Was not a professional or experienced guide. A waste of time and money.

The tour and tour guides were excellent!!! The van needs a little upgrade. If you sit in the back of the car, you will be very uncomfortable. People tend to sit at the same spot all day long. It was a mild day but there is no air flow.

This 2 day tour was perfect to see both sides of the island since we did not rent a car. We had Henry one day and John the next day, both who were knowledgeable about the islands history. I would say on day 2, it was great that John was flexible on the sequence of what we saw because of the fast changing weather. He really knew how to read the weather and we got to see everything and beat the clouds/fog. Obrigada!!

This was a fantastic introductory to the island. It covered all the key highlights without the stress of figuring out the roads and destinations. It wasn’t as informative as other tours we took but the views were amazing! Our tour guide was very nice and we were happy to have her both days. Would definitely recommend if you have never been to the island before and want to get an overview of what it has to offer.

This a great way to get to know the island. As a first time visitor, before I drove on my own, I wanted to see the highlights of the island as well as get familiar with the roads. Andrea, the guide, was great. Although foggy, she switched around the itinerary as necessary. She also made suggestions of places to visit and when not to drive some places, like if it was raining. If your only on the island a few days, this is a great way to see the highlights.
