An excellent experience. - An excellent experience. Andre took great care to ensure that all participants were comfortable riding the Segways, and helped us to negotiate the couple of tricky bits. He was very informative about the salt pans, carob trees and the fabulously expensive houses of Quinta de Lago. The route was especially good for those interested in bird life, and the wonderful weather helped to make this a memorable trip.

Highly recommended to discover Rio Formosa - We made the tour starting from ludo hiking trail during around two hours with teenagers. Our guide was super nice, he took the time to explain how to use the Segway and was attentive to security. Helmets were given. Segway is easy to manipulate after a few minutes. The tour was great, from wildlife watching (almost pink flamingos, crabs various birds) to millionaires-lifestyle watching. The place is incredible and Segway is perfect for discovery. Our guide was very interesting and we discovered a lot of things along the way. Highly recommended !

Segway sunset birdwatching tour - Our guide Andre was very informative and gave us a detailed explanation of the Rio Formosa national park and its vegitation. The tour was scenic with just the right amount of challenge to make you more vigilant while using the machine. We had a fun time and recommend them!

Recommended Tour - very nice tour, the guide was very friendly and we had a lot of fun. We got lots of information about the landscape, about the saltworks and the village Vale do Lobo. We had no experience with the Segways but it was easy, well explained and fun right from the beginning!
