The information given was very interesting and insightful, and the pace of the tour is very good - with enough breaks and some time to stroll by yourself. The bus is very comfortable and driver (Joao) is super! Definitely recommend. I have also taken other tours from this company and really enjoyed how they organise things - nothing is too dragged on, but at the same time you’re not rushed at all.”
