What are people saying about Faro

Abbie_W, Sept 2026

Just book it! It’s great!

Our guide was super inclusive, respectful, knowledgeable and funny. He showed us unique viewpoints that most people don’t know of and hiked at a pace that we were all comfortable with. The views were amazing and the cliff jumping at the end was a refreshing touch! Would highly recommend!!

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!

Faro City Tour on Electric Tuk tuks

Dean_C, July 2026

Great tour with Damien!...

Great tour with Damien! As it was our first day, it was great to be taken around the town and shown the highlights so we were able to explore in greater depth later. Tuk-tuk was comfortable, fitted with seatbelts and Damien was a careful driver, and considerate to park in the shade when delivering history & knowledge about Faro. Thank you from us both!

Ria Formosa - Boat trip to the 3 Islands: Armona | Culatra Island | Lighthouse

Nicole_E, July 2026

Definitely a great way to get out on the water in Olhao

The boat was very nice and it was a small group of 12 people. I went in the 15:45 which was great because we got to watch sunset on the way back to the port. Loved visiting the 3 islands. Each one was different and had interesting vibes. Also plenty of opportunities to swim. Claudio and Sergio were our captains and guides. They were very fun, had a wealth of knowledge and made us feel very safe.

4 Stops | 3 Islands & Ria Formosa Natural Park - From Faro

Anne_W, June 2026

Good value and good fun.

A great day visiting parts of the huge Rio de Formosa. Comfortable boat - most seats shaded. Be prepared to cop a bit of spray at times. Our guide, Joao, was a great skipper and had a good sense of humour. He provided a lot of information, made a point of interacting with all passengers early in the trip, and was happy to answer questions. Sunhat a must have for shore walking - lots of glare and heat and no trees. Plenty of options for lunch. Thank you, Joao.

Ria Formosa Natural Park and Islands Boat Cruise from Faro

Island tour to the Deserted Island and Farol Island in the lagoon with very knowledgeable guide. A+

It was a very scenic tour in the lagoon next to Faro. The guide was very informative and kept a captive audience with his knowledge of the area. We visited two islands - the “Deserted Island” and Farol Island. We had a chance to explore both with ample time before returning to the Marina. We also saw quite a bit of wildlife, namely birds along the way. Excellent tour!

Western Algarve Guided Bus Tour

Mark_C, Nov 2025

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.

Historical Algarve - Full-Day Trip

Francisco_S, Oct 2025

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).
