Great day out

Great way to see the sights around the island. Lots of dust about, so prepare to get dirty.

Absolutely worth it

Absolutely successful trip with very competent tour guide Ismail. We were a group of 7, and Ismail adjusted the tour plan to our wishes. We had a very nice day with many highlights. Everything was also perfectly planned in terms of timing.

Disappointed

Advertised as a full day but back at hotel by 1.30pm,everything seemed rushed,couldn't do the blue eye because of weather ,not sunny enough, but extra time not given at other stops,guide friendly enough but only did the minimum he had to. After reading previous reviews I was expecting more. Very disappointing

Very nice excursion with all the sights of Sal

Neat car and a nice driver named Kenneth who answered all questions and told things about the island However, it might have been nice that it says that you can bring a scarf because of all the sand because the strong wind was not so pleasant all the time in your face
