    This tour is excellent with wonderful views. The bus was very comfortable with air con. The guide was brilliant. He was so knowledgeable of the area and history of the island. He introduced us to new, beautiful places. If you want to see more of the island and learn more about the culture, go on the tour. We thoroughly recommend it.

    The trip was good and had plenty of stops along the way , the guide was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and had a happy approach to the trip. Only only down point to the trip was that the mini bus the leg room was not the best and felt very cramped when full.

    The sky walk at Cabo Garao was over rated. Too many tourists The Fanal Forest is being destroyed by tourists who don't have any respect for the ancient forest and are too interested in social media posting, climbing and posing all over he beautiful, old trees. It was quite alarming to witness.
