Breathtaking caves!
Arthur was amazing. I am not the adventurous type and he made me and my husband feel comfortable and he was patient with us. We had a small group and he catered to all of us. He was very informative about the caves and helped us capture amazing pictures! This tour was breathtaking!

Walking tour of Benagil caves and Seven Hanging Valleys
We had an amazing experience with our tour guide Joao. He was super friendly, personable and extremely knowledgeable on our subject matter. We really enjoyed ourselves and spending time with him. His recommendations for lunch and things to do in the area after the tour was spot on. We cannot recommend the tour and him enough. Thanks so much for a fantastic day!!

A very interesting and enjoyable trip
Great trip, really convenient meeting point and the staff were very professional. We were directed to the boat to meet our captain who was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area and the islands we would be visiting. We made three stops at very quiet, tranquil islands with very interesting communities. We saw a lot of wildlife and learned so much about the locations and history.

10/10 would recommend
Sebastian was a great tour guide, friendly, funny and very considerate of the range of ability in our group.
Had a great time walking and being able to see the caves from above, he answered all our questions, helped us with photos and even suggested how we could come back with transport to do the walk/trail.
The boat tour was quick but had some lovely views and just such an awesome experience.
After we finished with some free time near the beach, the cafe had some great food and wine, food was fresh and staff were very friendly. My aunts went down to the beach (i was hungry) but they enjoyed the beach and still had enough time to get some food after!

Great way to spend an hour in Faro
The Tuk Tuk offers a great way to whizz round the city's points of interest in a fun way. The guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting. The hour went past really quickly, with a couple of opportunities to hop off the Tuk Tuk at some key landmarks and places of historical importance.

Gotta love a Landy Rover.
We had Carla as our driver/guide and had a great day, Carla was very professional and knowledgeable.
Great fun going off the beaten track infact the off road part reminded us of driving on the UK roads, plenty of potholes.
Joking aside a great experience.

Great day trip and perfect for kids!
We had a wonderful time on our tour with Claire. She brought us to some really beautiful sites along the coast. We were able to hike around and explore and we stayed the right amount of time. I would recommend this tour to anyone who wanted to check out the beautiful southern coast. Make sure you bring cash for the snack bar at the end!

Western Algarve Full Day Bus Tour
This full-day tour is very worthwhile as an opportunity to see parts of the Algarve that would otherwise be missed. Silves was a great place to buy things (e.g. ceramics) as prices are much lower than major centers, and Lagos was charming. Cape St. Vincent was a great viewpoint that we weren't even aware of before the tour. Our guide Jonny was excellent and knowledgeable.

Wonderful trip through...
Wonderful trip through the Ria Formosa park and islands. We stopped at two islands, with an opportunity to swim, but the water was too cold already. One is empty, the other one is a village with narrow streets and small houses. Very nice for a walk. On the way back, we caught the beautiful sunset. Our guide and captain was very informative. We enjoyed the tour very much and would recommend it.

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.

Desfrutando a boa vida
Beautiful location with delicious wine, lovely views and a pool to cool you off. We spent the afternoon enjoying wine, the reds especially, tapas and swimming. The tour of the winery was informative and we learned new facts. The kids were treated to homemade pastries, ice cream and juice which made the experience special for them.

Faro tour
We were on a tour of the caves in Faro - which were beautiful - the sea and scenery were breathtaking. Most of all we thank the driver of our van Jerome Vincent for taking such good care of us. As we are an elderly couple some of the path was a bit rocky. Jerome always had his hand out so we would not trip on the rocky road. He explained so many features to us and we think Faro is so beautiful. Jerome thank you for your help and kindness. Gary and Michelle
