We were lucky to have a half day tour with Tiago.
Tiago is an enthusiastic and outstanding guide! He showed us incredible views, beautiful nature, local secrets and the off-road passages were a real adventure! He always made sure that we felt safe and comfortable. You could just tell that he is there with all his heart and enjoys it himself.
We would like to thank you very much for this experience and will keep it forever in a beautiful memory!
