Excellent trip and great guide - Tiago was a fantastic guide…born locally and had studied tourism so it was obvious he really enjoyed his job and knew his stuff. Tour was great on the electric bikes and we got great information about the whole area. The views are stunning in Sete Cicades so well worth doing. We got there ahead of the tour buses on the day as well which was a good advantage. We were picked up close to where our ship docked and dropped right back after the trip. Would recommend this company.
