“This was a superb trip all thanks to Pavel who is the host / owner of the business and Miguel, the coach driver. We honestly haven’t enjoyed a day like this in a long time. The whole journey was fascinating and we loved all of Pavel’s tales including real estate, celeb stories, the history of the island and it’s inhabitants. Pavel’s lust for life and the genuine desire to share his experiences is completely authentic. Combine this with Miguel’s driving skills which are incredible. The roads are very narrow and winding, and as we travelled to the mountains, we just went up and up and up, with a huge drop…”
