Highly recommend this tour!!! The electric bikes were great fun,super speedy but also easy to get the hang of. Lorenzo was an excellent guide. Really knew the history of the area and took us along a mainly coastal footpath route mostly avoiding traffic. The highlights were a sunset cafe where we stopped for a drink/ice cream and the grand dunes- Lorenzo kindly extended the tour so we could enjoy the magnificent sunset over the dunes-which was simply breathaking. An excellent tour and excellent guide- highly recommend!

I read a lot of reviews about the rudeness of their staff. And I read that the answers were that for safety reasons it requires to be bargained. But our case was not related to safety. The only risk was due to their employee! My family and I visited Anfi beach at the end of January, at about 10 a.m. But before reaching the beach they were attacked by their employees (elderly man, not tall, in a cap). He was extremely persistent and forced to take his flyer. In order to avoid conflict, we took a leaflet (for this reason I have it in the photo). But it seemed not enough to him. He followed us forcing a dialogue but we did not plan to talk to strangers and moved even further. Then he began to appeal to our children ignoring our forbidden. Then he began to insult us and shouted that if we do not like his attention we should get out of the island!!!! I tried to take him a picture but he dodged the photo (so I only have photos in very poor quality, without an employee face ). Then he came back again and in response to the insult, I said him that I would complain. He laughed in my face. That for him there is no boss. When he said this, he pressed my shoulder with his finger several times!!! It was not painful but humiliating. I am absolutely convinced that I correctly indicate the company. He gave us a flyer of his company by himself and I kept it. We also saw how he communicated with other employees and gave them instructions. I went to the police that day. But they said that since I have no injury I should complain to the Ministry of Tourism. I talked with other guests to my hotel and found out that he was also rude to other tourists. Therefore, now I am waiting for the return of all tourists from vacation and then we will contact the tourism administration by in electronic way.
