Avoid at all costs quad kept breaking down had to push start it got left behind by the person taking the experience paid 100 deposit which they took money out for a plate on the quad which was already broke rude staff beautiful views of the area but staff need retraining in customer care and quads that don't break down avoid at all costs and lok at other companies doing the same sort of activity
5 stars, highly recommend if you enjoy quad biking. Me and my 21 year old son done the 3 hour tour and although it had been raining heavily I think it made it even better. Would suggest taking a change of clothes. Would do it again for sure.
Completely misleading, you do not get a quad per person, it is 2 persons for 1 quad. This is not communicated until you receive the voucher which is within the 24 hour no cancellation period.
Off-road is not really the word we spend a lot of time on the road in the end. Catch tourists because what we don’t tell you is that over the 3h30 we take 3 breaks, one in a botanical garden to buy spices and another to go to a Portuguese bar. Let’s not talk about the extreme slowness we went along the way.... For quad biking in other countries with the same principle this activity is disappointing (fortunately the only one of our holidays).
“Superb 3h activity that allows you to fully enjoy beautiful scenery, with a very friendly team and good shared addresses.”
Mega coole Quad Tour💪. Matteus was a great tour guide and we had a lot of fun. Everything was very well organized and the routes were also very varied. We are looking forward to the new location and would love to come back!
OUTSTANDING! Thank you for a great afternoon quad biking! Really enjoyable experience, so fun, fast paced riding, and slower trickier terrain. One bit of advice would be wear rough clothes and shoes!
Professional employees. Slightly deceptive pricing, we paid for 3 adults assuming 3 quad bikes, we only got 2. We were a bit disappointed in this.
Nice tour there is clearly explained what you are not allowed. So it feels safe. There were 3 guides along and the trip id easy to do. 3.5 with some breaks. These may be a little shorter because it is about driving. Price quality was fine nice people.
We had a great time on the quads, met at the location and had an in depth safety briefing, this was a little long but to be expected as I presume they've had some silly people causing issues in the past. We are all experienced off road riders but still had a great time, they tailor the speed to your ability so it's suitable for all abilities. Thanks for a great day out.
