Faro becomes the crime scene in this self-guided detective game, where the clues are hidden in plain sight in the streets around you. The case is the murder of Balthasar, and the evidence is scattered across the old centre - past Arco do Repouso, Igreja do Carmo, Faro Cathedral and the Municipal Museum. You decode messages, photograph what does not add up and press digital witnesses whose stories never quite line up. Every puzzle you crack removes a name from the list of suspects. Play as a couple, bring the children along, or send two or three teams out at the same time and turn the investigation into a race - which is what makes this murder mystery game work as well for a team outing as for a day out. The last answer is waiting somewhere in the centre of Faro.

What are people saying about Faro

Alia_M, Sept 2026

What a beautiful trip

Overall, it was a beautiful experience, meeting people from all around the world while exploring such a beautiful area. I travelled solo, and Geraldine made me feel completely looked after and safe throughout the day. She was also an amazing hype woman and photographer! Everyone, of all ages, bonded and shared such a lovely experience together. It genuinely felt like a whole day of connection, fun, and unforgettable memories. Well worth every penny, and I’m so grateful for the beautiful memories I get to keep and share thank you!

Kimberley_A, Sept 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

Ria Formosa Natural Park and Islands Boat Cruise from Faro

Rebecca_R, Sept 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

Francoise_L, Jul 2026

Highly recommended

Excellent tour of Ria Formosa. The itinerary was well thought out, and the professionalism of the company stood out throughout. Our guide, Maurice, was fantastic — offering great options along the way, but also genuinely flexible. Toward the end I decided to skip the third island and take a taxi boat instead, and he sorted it out for me without any fuss. That kind of adaptability made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you want a well-organised tour that still leaves room for spontaneity.

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! ❤️🇵🇹

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

Anne_W, Jun 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.

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!

Birdwatching in Ria Formosa - Eco Boat Tour from Faro

Beautiful Nature Preserve and 21 Bird Species!

We enjoy birdwatching, and this was top notch! Tour guide was very knowledgeable and provided information about the birds, habitats, and behaviors to help with identification and made a specific effort to find as many as possible--21 species the day of our trip. Also discussed the history and interesting trivia about the nature preserve and the local area.
