5.00This was an excellent experience and I loved it! It was so much fun and Pedro was awesome and was a great pilot. Dario was excellent again as he drove us to the site of the hang gliding. We had Dario as our tour guide two days before and he was great and very informative. Loved this whole experience!
Well-oiled machine
