What an amazing tour! Andrea was a great guide! He was very nice and had lots of information about the islands. The route he prepared was very beautiful and the snacks were a really nice touch. His spanish was very good too. I highly recommend this tour.

For me as a layman it was a wonderful experience to catch fish and to prepare and eat them with my family on the same day. Not to be compared with the fish from the supermarket.

Our guide (Andrea) showed us around and stopped at some amazing scenic views. He also had a wide knowledge about the surroundings, everyday life and more.

Very good experience, spectacular landscapes and a charming guide

Very good reception the service was at the desired level
