Fantastic experience- second year of doing this. Went with friends and 90 year old Dad! Last year we did one 3 hour tour on West Side. This year 3 hour tour of Nun's Valley- what a great time - it flew by so quickly. John and Goth are such fun and very flexible. They even motivated Dad to walk 1000 steps up the mountain to see the view - that has helped his confidence too 😀🤗. Thanks guys you're the best 😍

Excellent way to explore the island, fresh air, safe driver and extremely knowledgable about the true facts of the land, culture and history. No stress at all, and despite much of information you feel relaxed after the tour.
