Walking around Flores - I spent 4 and a half days with Filan around Flores (Wae Rebo, Ruteng, Bajawa, Riung). The first approach with Filan was honestly not the best (cell phone empty, he had no idea we had to go to Wae Rebo, he immediately asked me for a large sum for gas) but then, as the days went by, I revalued him enormously. Filan is an exceptional driver, always on time, very attentive to the road that in some stretches was really in poor condition. I really enjoyed the proposal to eat with his family and the trek through the rice fields that starts right from his home. He helped us to plan the boat tour with camping in Riung (beautiful) and to contact a guide who explained the traditional villages of Bena and Tolulela. Filan is a very smart guy, with a very good network of acquaintances in Flores, I very much hope that his project to open a business in his village can come true. It just needs to improve a little bit in the approach and in some attention to the customer (probably there are also cultural divergences that you can not grasp). I absolutely recommend it.

Excellent road trip through Flores - I had a great week touring Flores with Filan. He is an excellent driver and guide with good English. Highly recommended.
