Our family (including kids age 6 and 9) had a blast. The guides (João and Ruben) gave clear guidance and kept us all safe while still taking us on a thrilling ride through the Algarve. We would definitely do this one again!

This was an absolute blast. The guides ensured a safe experience but it by no means was boring. Our kids (6 & 9) loved it as well.

Thrilling ride

Something different

Kimberly_M, Jan 2023

A 90 minute tour was perfect. You will get muddy, so don the nylon pants and windbreakers they provide. The guides were great!

Expérience génial

Julien_S, Jun 2024

Les guides sont très sympathique et attentif, tout est bien expliqué en français, anglais ou portugais. Le tour est top et a duré plus de 1h30 contrairement à ce que l’on peut lire dans d’autre commentaire la vitesse n’est pas limitée à 20km/h on passe juste plus lentement à proximité des habitation ce qui est normal. Pour notre pars nous reviendrons. Juste a noter que il y a un petit simplement de 10 euros a payer à votre arrivée pour si il y a plusieurs conducteur par machine

Response from Host, Jun 2024

Pour une première, nous avons été ravis de cette sortie. Circuit varié avec des chemins escarpés, bien adaptés aux attentes liés aux véhicules. Buggy récent et en très bon état. Guide et équipe très sympas et multilingues.
