Did a scooter tour with Urii today- and I’m so glad I did! I really liked all the different stops along the way- especially the little local food and drink places that I never would have encountered on my own. Urii was incredibly knowledgeable and patient; she shared just the right amount of info (not too much, not too little!) and I never felt rushed to move on if I was interested in something. She was very easy going and such a great guide! Thank you! I’d highly recommend this tour with Urii ✌🏼
