“We discovered the Nordeste part of the island with our guide Bruno who did an excellent job. While most tours follow a route plan that is strictly determined in advance, this excursion did stops based on the weather and circumstances during the day. Instead of giving us less interesting facts and long outdated stories, Bruno provided us all the info we needed while giving us the chanse to ask questions and having a nice chat. The Nordeste tour is also very nice in case of bad weather, as the tour operator has a lot of opportunities to add stops/visits that do not require clear blue skies. Would definitely recommend this…”
