This experience was...
This experience was amazing! You get great views, access to a wonderful little town with a beautiful beach, and an opportunity to cliff jump! My friends and I loved this tour and appreciated the comfortable van in between stops. Everything is so so beautiful and I am glad we got to see them with the help of this tour.

Arthur’s (the tour guide, if that’s how you spell it) Number1 Fan💌
Man.. I don’t even know where to start.
It’s my first time in Portugal and as a young (20) solo female traveler, it can get scary and kind of hard to navigate through it all but thanks to the structure providing this activity (I forgot the name sorry), I had one of the best days ever!
The meeting spot is in Faro Marina, close to the old town, easy to get there. The guide arrived on time, no issue. 👍🏽 Then, we basically hopped on a van (group of 6 people) and went on a proper hike which lasted for about 2 hours, then we had a break at the Marinha Beach (≈1.5 too) where we could eat, shop some souvenirs and jewellery, and relax on the sand. Finally, we headed to our last stop for the cliff jumping -there was also a bar and I believe they were serving tapas- and the guide was nice enough to jump with me hehe. Btw that’s not important but I did fall in love with him, love Arthur, he knowwwwws what he’s talking about, interestingly knowledgeable and tries to make everyone comfortable by sneaking some jokes here and there.
I highly recommend booking this exact circuit or you’ll regret it. HAVE A NICE STAY IN THE ALGARVE!💖

Breath taking views
An amazing trip in the beautiful countryside. A beautiful break from the noise and buzz of the busy touristic places. Breath taking views. Personally, I think I would have preferred more off road driving. But a trip still worth taking. A lovely sample of simpler life and panoramic views not to be missed.

We had originally booked...
We had originally booked for a ten o’clock tour but were emailed the night before to change it to 11:30 as waves were high. We were 16 in a 25 person boat. Lovely weather made for an excellent tour. Andre was a great guide and Mauro an excellent driver.

Fun day at Algar Seco
Ricardo showed us the highlights and did a thorough job of explaining each landmark. He answered questions and was willing to repeat himself if necessary. My brother is hard of hearing & Ricardo spoke to him directly so that my brother could read his lips. He was very considerate in that respect.

Magnificent Day with Benny
Benny gave us a wonderful day, sharing the history of the Algarve and Portugal. We visited the Silves Castle, some of the countryside, Lagos, and the stunning views at Ferol do Cabo de Sao Vincente. He finished our trip by taking us to another cliff viewing spot where we could watch para sailors flying in the wind...it was a magnificent day!

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.

An unforgettable day
A trip to remote places that we would not have been able to visit without a jeep and a guide. The guide was exceptional and trilingual (Portuguese, English and French). He taught us a great deal about the flora, local history and customs. It will remain an unforgettable day marked by stops at picturesque locations.

Great day in the Algarve.
This was a wonderful tour that showed us different ways of life on the barrier islands of the Ria Formosa.. Barreta Island (formerly a leprosy colony) has only one restaurant and one fisherman's shack. It is beautiful and feels very remote. It is where the Ria Formosa and the ocean meet, with lots of turbulence and large waves. Ilha de Farol (Lighthouse Island) has a very chill, laid back beach vibe, pretty little cottages. Culatra Island, which is actually the same island, but a small fishing village on the other side of the island, shows you the real workings of the fishing industry and lifestyle.
Our guide, Joac, was very informative, friendly, humorous and made you feel safe with his navigation. The boat was very comfortable. The only unfortunate part was unfortunate that we were not able to meet the oyster farmers or watch the process, but Joac did his best to explain the process to us.
I would highly recommend this tour.

Wine, laughter and good company!
This wine tour and visit to Silves was honestly one of the best days of our trip to Albufeira! It was a small group, which made it feel really personal and relaxed — everyone got along so well, and the company made it even more enjoyable. By the end of the tour it felt like we’d all known each other for ages.
Our guide, João, was amazing, super knowledgeable, funny, and full of great stories about the area, the wines, and local life. You can tell he really loves what he does, and that energy made the whole day even better.
The winery was beautiful, the wine tasting was spot on, and Silves is such a lovely little town to explore full of history and charm.
If you’re in Albufeira and want a relaxed day with great wine, great company, and a fantastic guide, definitely book this tour

Best tour - do it!
We took the tour with 'super mario' & Gabriel; it was an absolute hoot and 10/10 would do it again. The best money spent in Lagos. Mario & Gabriella has us both in fits of laughter, very entertaining, as well as information about Lagos. Bring cash for tips! They don't ask, but you'll want to, we promise!

Super cool tour in caves, wonderful guide!
Super cool! Very charismatic, funny, and knowledgeable guide Pedro, got to paddle through caves and see several caves alongside the spectacular Benagil cave with the circular hole at the top. Wear a bathing suit and quick dry clothes as you will get wet. Totally amazing!
