5.00The Santiago Island tour was just simply the best! And this was not only because of how much the island has to offer (a lot!), but equally as much because of the amazing guide. Ed is very attentive, genuinely friendly, easy going, knowledeable, and goes out of his way to make the experience an amazing one. A thousand thanks for this perfect day!!! Highly recommended, and will book again any time.
A very pleasant full day tour

5.00Eddie is a terrific tour guide - punctual, friendly and super-knowledgeable. I had a wonderful day exploring Santiago. Nothing was too much bother and he repeatedly went out of his way to adjust the itinerary to suit my interests. Be sure to get in touch with Rural Tours if you're after up-to-date information on getting to and from the other islands.
