Choose any other company!!
The experience was fine. The staff was AWFUL! I cannot describe how unfriendly and unprofessional the staff was. The girl, Carolina, was very unkind. If I could leave zero stars, I would. It doesn’t matter how much fun I had with my friends, her attitude. They were rude to the other English speaking guests aside from the 3 in my group. The guide told us that in Portugal the people are polite then proceed to talk my friend to, “SHUT UP” when he wasn’t even talking. They both really set the tone for the adventure.

Something to break up the day.
This is great way to break up the day. The Quads are good quality and you’re given a clean helmet with a full face visor. I would recommend wearing clothing you don’t mind getting dusty and bring a face covering to avoid breathing in the dust (you can purchase this from them at little cost). The tour takes you over all different terrain roads, sand, bumpy trails and water. It is definitely worth the cost and by the time you are finished you will have had value for money. Be careful as your deposit can be taken for what might appear as the smallest thing. The tour guides take care of you all the and also help with pictures and places of interest. All in all a great experience that I would recommend to my granny😂

Amazing I would go again with this company
This was my first quad biking experience and I booked it for me and my partner for his birthday. He already had done quad biking in a different country. But even he said by far this was the best. We had the options of a quad bike or a buggy. The journey was a long length of time so you really get your moneys worth. The quad bike guide was so on point and vigilant. We got to stop for a break and see the scenery. It was amazing I would go again.

Great morning with a fantastic team x
I was anxious at first as I am a slow driver, and the thought of driving a quad bike with a very excited teenager behind me was very daunting. The team was quite good and supportive though, and I quickly gained confidence.
