It was a very interesting experience. The tour guide took us to many very local and special places, including riding a bicycle by the seaside and visiting the local farmlands. The facilities are also very complete. They provided vehicles to transport our luggage and prepared ice towels and cold drinks. It was excellent. The only drawback is that the bicycles are not very new.
