Highly recommend! - This was crazy fun! I'm usually such a chicken and I was a little nervous beforehand but the guides were professional and very fun so I felt safe the entire time. The adrenaline was pumping but I still managed to enjoy the amazing views along the way. The 4 hours just flew by and I could've done 4 more!

Fabulous - We did this on august 11,2020 and it was a very nice 4 hours that stared at 4 o’clock not so hot. Our guide was very experienced and knowledgeable about the vehicles and areas we went. The off road was bumpy and dirty as expected, still this was the part we loved the most. You get a chance to climb and see areas that you would never see as a toerist by yourselves.

Great experience!! - We did the Buggy tour and it was just great! The tour guide was super friendly and informative, he gave us time to take pictures. The snacks were good and the tour was exciting, the off road parts felt dangerously adventurous. The transfer from and back to the hotel was included and uncomplicated. I can only recommend the Buggy tour, it is definitely worth it.
