“We had the best time with Tanya!!! She was so, so fun and kept us laughing the whole time and knew so much about the island and the different stops. She also picked us figs (see photos)!! We were with a group of people who also spoke German and I was blown away that she was able to seamlessly switch between the two languages. I was very happy that we were able to see so many different locations as we didn’t rent a car so getting around the island was hard. I was also super impressed with ur driver Nicolas as he picked us up in a timely manner and…”

“Don’t book this. The tour guide never showed up. Another guide was giving a large group tour and kindly let us tag along for her tour, but it was hard to hear - which is exactly why I booked the private tour. The tour company confirmed they did not send a guide and refunded the money. Unfortunately we were leaving the next day and could not reschedule a private tour, so the opportunity to get a private tour was lost.”
