Overall rating

Our guide Moha listened to us and was very attentive. However, review the indicated timetable, this is an outing which begins at 5 p.m. (local time). We had to call the organizer to confirm this after reading a comment from a former participant. Get your guide must update the information because this has already been done by the organizer with the site but without success. Breathtaking landscape, to do without hesitation. A small bottle of cava offered but no fruit offered as advertised in the activity description.

The tour was very nice, thanks to which you can admire fascinating and spectacular views of the island. The vehicles could be looked after a little better (ours had slightly worn out brakes) and another had continuous problems. It must also be said that the problem was quickly resolved with the replacement of the faulty Buggy. Overall I recommend this tour

This tour is highly recommended. Our guide, Jürgen, was very friendly and professional. The buggy tour combines action/fun with exploring the island. It will be dusty and fun! 🚀 I'd love to do it again! Thank you, Jürgen - keep it up!

wonderful trip :) Mega cool route… with nice and funny staff

Very warm welcome, I highly recommend, very good guide
