What are people saying about Faro

Kimberley_A, Sep 2026

Introduction to Faro

This tour is a great introduction to Faro. It helps orient yourself to the sites while providing some historical and cultural background to the area Damien was our guide. Absolutely super. Provided us with further ideas on what to see as well as restaurants to try

From Faro: Benagil Cave, Marinha & Carvoeiro [Full-Day Tour]

Carol_A, Sep 2026

Be Prepared for Awesome Views

We only travel with small groups and this did not disappoint. We were accompanied by a knowledgeable tour guide, Diana. The views at Praia da Marinha and Benagil Caves were rugged and wild, as expected in the west Algarve. The break for lunch in Carvoeiro was much needed after all of the walking. This is a small beach town with good food (we ate at Levels), souvenir shops and a very nice beach.

Ria Formosa Natural Park and Islands Boat Cruise from Faro

Rebecca_R, Sep 2026

Excellent trip

This is a small group trip with comfy seating and shade on the boat, knowledgable and friendly captain, super customer service from the ticket office. Plenty of time on lighthouse island for lunch at the restaurant recommended by captain, delicious food and drink. Bring water, sun hat and screen.

Sunset Tour | Ria Formosa - From Faro

S_C, Aug 2026

Relaxing sunset tour with beautiful views

We had a pleasant evening on this sunset tour. The sunset was beautiful, and the guide gave us a very good introduction to the Ria Formosa Natural Park, including the local environment and nature in the area. The tour is quite relaxed and slow-paced, so it may not be the most exciting activity if you are looking for something more action-packed, but that is really just the nature of this type of tour rather than a criticism. Everything was well organised, the scenery was lovely, and overall there was very little to fault. A nice and peaceful way to spend an evening in Faro.

3 Hours Classic Food Tour in Faro

Dean_C, Jul 2026

5* - Highly Recommend!

Exceptional food tour with the lovely Esther! We enjoyed three restaurants; three sample plates at each along with a drink at each, plus water. The portion sizes were generous & the offerings varied. We left very full! Esther was attentive, clearly passionate about Faro, and answered all of our questions. She took great care of us and made many recommendations of places to eat, drink & visit throughout our stay. A dealbreaker for me is the tour guide being a local and passionate about their city. Esther was certainly that! Knowledgeable & engaging. Would recommend this tour to anyone who is interested. Personal highlights - pulled pork neck! We were very lucky to be the only two on this tour, so it was essentially private. I was impressed that the tour wasn’t cancelled due to this, as many other tour operators would have done so. Thank you from both of us! ❤️

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

Nicole_E, Jul 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.

Tavira: Guided Table Olives Factory Tour & Tasting Experience

Phil_M, Jun 2026

Great Variety of Olives and other surprises

Experience was entertaining and interesting. We were shown the process and machines as well as being able to taste 5 varieties. The tasting included meat, cheese and breads as well as olive oil, sauces and a fig balsamic vinegar that was amazing. Several types of wine and home-made lemonade were served as well. The little shop had lots of product. This was well worth the time and money!!

Algarve Mountains & Villages - Half Day Jeep Safari Trip

Mary_W, Jun 2026

Book to see the real Portugal 🇵🇹

I booked this trip through Viator, my daughter & I wanted to explore some of the countryside in the evening. 🇵🇹☀️. We met our driver close to our hotel which was excellent !✨He was very friendly & funny from start to end! He gave us lots of information along the way!✨ The Algarve is beautiful! We passed through a few villages, and our first stop was at a farm. We got to see peacocks, ducks, geese, chickens, goats, a pig & horse! 🦚🦆🐓🐐🐖🐴 We also got to taste honey, jams & ‘fire water’. So many drops are growing on this farm, it was really lovely. 🌱🌳🌶️ Our second stop was at a ‘custard pie factory’, but due to the time of our trip they’d sold out! 🤩 We had lemon meringue pie & cake which was so good.🍰🍥 Our next stop was at the ‘“Queda de agua do vigario” waterfall! 🌱💦 There are many steps down, but so worth it! Beautiful. Finally we went up into the mountains to watch the sun set at Messines. 🌅 Here you have 360 degrees view of the surrounding countryside! The sunset spot itself is beautiful! I definitely recommend you go on this trip, it’s super good value for money & I feel you get to see the ‘real’ Portugal, a must see! ❤️🇵🇹

From Faro: Boat trip to Benagil Cave & Arches of Praia da Marinha

Priyanka_M, May 2026

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!

Jeep Safari Tour - Half Day

Rosaleen_G, Apr 2026

Such a fun and...

Such a fun and interesting experience, thanks to Carla, we explored so much of Algarvian history and culture, visiting a moorish castle, Roman bridges, rural towns, experiencing Portuguese life both past and present. We got to see and learn so much more than we anticipated. Definitely recommend if you like a rich cultural experience from rural towns, orange farms and more 😊
