Great day out to see Western Algarve
Jonny was fantastic, very entertaining. We saw beautiful scenery.
The itinerary needs to be updated as we stopped in Lagos first, then Cape St Vincent, there was no actual stop in Monchique just a drive through to the lunch stop, Fóia and then Silves.
The day we toured there were 10 in total on the bus, so it was great getting to know everyone.
The lunch stop (which isnt mentioned until you are on the bus) served excellent food (couvert, main, dessert with drink of choice - beer/wine/soft drink/water) for €22 pp. Lunch is optional BUT the stop is almost an hour on the side of the hill before heading to Fóia. Food is preordered however any dietary requirements might be an issue eg coeliac/food allergy.
In Fóia, the tasting of fire water ensured I didn't feel the heat for the rest of the day! View down to coast was fantastic!
Highlight was definately The End of The World (Cabo de Sao Vicente).
Constructive Criticism:
I thought we would be told more historical information and would have like to have learned more about the Crusaders and perhaps a map with some information for each stop would be helpful - I felt as though we were just dropped off and had maybe 40 mins to try and find what we wanted to see especially when we didn't know where we were being dropped off - in Silves the walk to the Cathedral and Castle was not suitable for my almost 70yo aunt.

Highlight of our trip
It’s a very unique experience to kayak through the cave. We had a wonderful time, probably the highlight of our trip. Eduardo was knowledgeable and friendly, he catered to the needs of everyone on the trip - an intimate group - and we thoroughly enjoyed.

Hiking around the cliffs of Algarve
Beautiful scenery and lunch spot. The climb around the Algarve cliffs is rather rigorous-lots of loose stones, tree roots, and up and down narrow valleys. Not too many stairs or handrails for people who need assistance.
So if you have difficulty with mobility, I would not suggest this tour.

Perfect for solo travel
Amazing experience! As a solo traveler, it was a perfect way to see this part of Portugal! Arthur, the guide, was incredible! So knowledgeable about the area with cool facts about the geology and history of the region; on top of all that, he’s basically a personal photographer ;).

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!

Great tour to Algarve coast.
We can highly recommend this tour. Our guide Sebastian was friendly, knowledgeable and very helpful. He gave us a lot of information about the Algarve area, but also about restaurants and directions to different regions. The boat trip to the caves was faboulos.
Very memorable!

A great day!
Visiting these islands was a wonderful experience. My family and i enjoyed the diversity of the landscape. We had a lovely lunch arranged by our guide.
And our guide was fabulous!! His knowledge of the islands and the area made for a memorable experience.

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!

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.
