    Chasing the sun and missing the rain

    Margaret_s, Nov 2025
    Well coordinated and full of knowledge guide Miguel is well know in the island and we would not have asked for anyone else to escape the rain and find the sun. In fact we were rain out at one location and Miguel came back to it by the end of the day to get a great last picture Thank you Miguel

    Ricardo super recommended. Amazing excursion

    Sara_L, Aug 2025
    10000% recommended experience! Ricardo was an unbeatable guide, we had a change in the flight schedule and helped us a lot, he worried a lot. We were also picked up early at 7am at the airport, although the activity started at 9am to drop us off near the village and have breakfast. The truth that has been super attentive and we saw many points of the island, with all the explanations, resolving curiosities, and in Spanish even though he was only two Spanish speakers, he tried hard to make us understand. Delicious food in a restaurant. Really happy, you rating that the guide enjoys what he does
