It gives you a good overview if you want to go back to the towns to spent more time there. Lunch was OK. Lunch is at a restaurant where all the tour groups stop. Suggest getting in, eat quickly and try and see a bit of the town.”

“From the initial booking through to organising our travel back to our hotel, everything about our experience went smoothly and we had a fantastic camel ride. This was a huge a relief for myself and my family after we had an awful and very disappointing experience with trying to book a camel ride with another Camel Safari operator at the sand dunes in Maspolamas in which we were turned away from their park after queuing at the entrance for over because we did not have tickets and then later failing to receive tickets we had attempted to book with them online. The host and staff at Camel Safari La barrenda…”
