Enjoyable and fun tour

We really enjoyed this tour and a brilliant way to see all the main sights of interest on the east of the island. This part of the island is interesting as you get to see the geothermal park and the stunning coastline, not to mention beautiful waterfalls and landscape. Our guide Marcio was so knowledgeable and he made the day fun and enjoyable. The vehicle was new and very comfortable and we liked that the group was small with only 8 of us. Well worth it and we would definitely recommend.
