A fun day visiting the islands!
This was a wonderful experience! It was great learning about the different islands, and the lunch recommendation was superb. Pedro was a great navigator and guide. Very friendly, spoke in 3 languages to accomodate everyone on the boat, very professional. Would recommend.

Fun tour to a vineyard and to the silves castle
Filip was an amazing driver and guide — genuinely one of the best parts of the trip! He made the whole day easy and fun. We visited the red castle in Silves, Algarve, and it was fantastic — such a cool piece of history. Right next door there's a little shop selling great port wine, so we grabbed a bottle to take home. Then it was off to a vineyard tour, which was awesome too — the wines were excellent and we ended up buying a few bottles for the road. Overall, a really well-organized and fun day out!

Fantastic
This is one of the best tour i ever had. We had an absolutely wonderful experience on the tour with Geraldin Hung! She was incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming from the very beginning, and she made the whole experience enjoyable and relaxed. Geraldin was knowledgeable, attentive, and always happy to answer our questions. What really stood out was her positive energy and the way she made everyone feel comfortable and included. She shared interesting information and local insights throughout the tour, which made the experience even more memorable. Everything was very well organised, and we never felt rushed. Geraldin genuinely went the extra mile to make sure everyone was having a great time. Her enthusiasm and kindness made a big difference to our experience in Faro. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area, and if you get Geraldin as your guide, you are definitely in for a fantastic experience!

Great experience
Eduardo Guimaraes did an exceptional job leading the group throughout the entire trip. From the very start, he established a great pace, getting everyone organized, energized, and moving seamlessly through the itinerary. His extensive knowledge of the area’s history truly brought each site to life, effortlessly blending factual details with engaging stories. Throughout the journey, he managed the group's logistics with remarkable ease while keeping spirits high, delivering an informative and unforgettable travel experience

Great boat ride and overview of the caves
We had a great experience! We visited a few different caves in addition to the main Benagil Cave, which was really nice. Mauro, our guide, was great and gave us lots of interesting information about the caves and the surrounding area. The only thing we wished for was a little more time—the tour went by too quickly! Overall, a really enjoyable experience and definitely worth doing while in Algarve.

A total adventure
Very well organized. Is quite an adventure! I love it. Prepare yourself to padle a lot. Very beautiful place, best is to do it in the early hours, later migth be too crowded. Guides were very kind and attentive. They also have lockers for your things for 5€, and water bags. I totally recomend this experience.

Really great culture trip!
John our guide absolutely made our day, even though it was scorching hot out. He picked us up at our hotel, was very cheerful and informative the whole trip and was a great driver too. The tour was really good and gave us a taste of real Portuguese culture with honey, jam, liqueur tasting and an unforgettable swim at a waterfall. A really worthwhile trip. The only thing I'd change was to have done this tour at the beginning of our holiday as it was that good! Thanks John!

Highly recommended
Excellent tour of Ria Formosa. The itinerary was well thought out, and the professionalism of the company stood out throughout. Our guide, Maurice, was fantastic — offering great options along the way, but also genuinely flexible. Toward the end I decided to skip the third island and take a taxi boat instead, and he sorted it out for me without any fuss. That kind of adaptability made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you want a well-organised tour that still leaves room for spontaneity.

Great day in the western Algarve
The tour was comfortable and Benny, our guide, knew a lot of history about the Algarve. We liked the itinerary, wished we’d had just a little more time in Lagos to look around, just have enough time for lunch. We’d recommend this tour to get a good look and background for the western Algarve.

Must Do Experience in Portugal
Just incredible place to visit while you are in Portugal. Well organized tour. Not recommended for those who have a hard time walking on uneven surfaces and there is a little climbing and trekking along the coast but very much worth it. The water was a bit chilly at the beach. I recommend going in late May or June if you want to swim. Guides and Driver was great.

Sinatra, the mystical city of Portugal
Sinatra was exactly how I dreamed Portugal to be. The sights were beyond beautiful! This was our last day to have an excursion and, how i wish I'd known about this town sooner! Andre, our guide, was so knowledgeable and was such a gentleman to all the ladies that he would make his mama proud! It was great to see what Portugal was at one point in time. I pray the country can keep it's heritage alive. Thank you, Andre, for a great experience.

Impressive castle in Silves and beautiful river/ocean front town of Lagos. Best views of Cape Saint Vicent.
Our tour guide, Johnny was prompt in picking us up at the designated area and happily entertained us with historical anecdotes along the way to various stops. The first stop at Silves, we were instructed on how to reach the castle (entry was not included) and given an hour and 10 minutes to see it plus the surrounding town. The castle didn’t disappoint and the town had a quaint architecture. The town church was closed unfortunately as well as the museum. The second stop was the oceanside town of Lagos which was very impressive with its churches, fortress walls, colorful boats along the river canal, and quaint little streets filled with local restaurants and shops. Johnny took us to a small restaurant for lunch (not included in the tour price) which we paid 22 Euros per person for all you can drink (wine, juice, or sodas), bread, olives, cheese, prosciutto, a main dish (choice of chicken, fish, blacken pork or vegetarian dish) and a slice of cake for dessert. Well worth it and delicious. The last leg of our tour was Cape Saint Vincent (also known as the end of the world). The views were overwhelmingly astonishing. No pictures can do it justice. You have to experience it in person to comprehend it’s majestic beauty. Definitely recommend this tour although it didn’t include costs of castle entry and lunch (costs approximately 28 Euros in total).
