Good Tour, Excellent Tour Company - This is a good Tour. We booked on a small group tour, but there was only 2 of us. Most companies would have bumped us to another day. Aljehandro was very professional and answered lots of questions, all day! Mandwich was an excellent driver and lunch with Mamma Ella was great. Range of activities the same as most other companies on Sal, really enjoyed the lemon sharks and salt pool.

Great tour operator! - Admilson and his team organised a great trip for my husband and 1. Our guide, Caine, was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and it was a great day and very good value! Much better than what the reps at TUI can offer. Personal and excellent!
