The drive was super smooth, great driver who made sure we got a toilet and food break which we weren’t expecting so that was lovely! Met our boat and the driver made sure we got on okay. Picked up at the hotel too which was a bonus as didn’t think we’d have the option! What I would say is that the communication for the time of pick up was a bit confusing. We booked for 10am, then were told 12pm, then the bus turned up at 6:30am whilst we were asleep. It was quickly dealt with and we moved on but that would be the only thing to mention.

Driver was at my Pousada promptly to collect me at 7.30am as arranged... smartly dressed. As there were only two passengers... the transport was in a comfortable car and the journey was very quick including a 20 min stop at a service station/restaurant en route. Great, comfortable, easy way to travel at reasonable cost. Thank you!

The flight was very nice. The pilot is very profesional and careful. The agency request you must be 30 minutes before the flight. We don’t know why if they put you on the air 2 hours late.

It was what we expected. Really nice staff and you can buy a few drinks at the boat bar.

Very professional driver, good driving and clean car!
