Rui the best guide made for an amazing day. - I must say this was an outstanding trip. The highlight of our holiday. The best part was our guide Rui, he was so attentive, kind and knowledgeable. He had a fabulous sense of humour. I had a 9 year old and a 14 year old with me and he was brilliant with them. I also had my dad 78 who is hard of hearing and he raised his voice while giving the tour to ensure everyone was included. I really can't say enough about the trip and Rui. Thank-you Rui for an amazing day it wouldn't have been the same without you.

Our guide, Johnny brought us to some very interesting and beautiful sites including an organic farm, a waterfall and a small village cafe.
