“The company was top notch to work with- we received a welcome email from owner (after booking) with concise instructions, bike/sidecar in great condition, uniforms and follow up email with bonus surprise. The ride itself was our first of its kind (ages 62 and 54) and I would definitely recommend. What a great way to see the sights! Our guide Nuno was very informative and a genuinely good guy- we felt safe and comfortable the whole time. When we come back to the island, which is a must- we will definitely book them again.”
