Seamless start to finish - We were delighted that we could book this and take the wheelchair! Jose was very helpful, kind and knowledgable about his home, he swiftly got us to the basket cars and the wait was literally 5 minutes! We had such fun weaving through the narrow streets, Went to a delightful fishing port. Would recommend this company most definitely! And of course Jose!!
