“We were a little apprehensive about this trip beforehand but all concerns around the jeeps proved to be the complete opposite. The travel in the jeeps were actually one of the highlights, our driver Bruno thought he was auditioning for a role in a remake of the Italian job. Definitely much better choosing the jeeps over the coach trips as we got to places coaches couldn't reach. The guide was very informative, giving us interesting info about the island. The restaurant where we had lunch had the most fantastic views. The island is stunning. Definitely recommend this trip.”
