5.00This was the best experience in South East we have had! Amiro was a great guide, he speaks perfect English (even other languages! Super cool!) It was the most beautiful bike ride, super relaxed but also not boring. We stopped by local people to ask some questions, made and tasted local products. All the people we encountered were so friendly and welcoming. It was super authentic. I'm super glad we did this! Thank you Amiro for this great experience! We'll never forget it!
Amazing Trip!!
