We were messaged and collected from near our Hotel all very well organised even sent a photo of the bus stop we were being collected at. John arrived in the Jeep and straight away started to share history make jokes etc what a great guy.
Our Jeep was not crowded and it felt very relaxed. We saw other companies with people jammed in like sardines so we felt lucky that were with this company. The tour and experiences along the way were excellent. Got to swim in the spring and see the waterfall and even a turtle swimming with us.
Everything was superb and it gave us a lovely opportunity to experience Portuguese life.
Special thanks to our driver John whose personality and humour added a huge bonus to our trip.
I took my twin 5 year old grandsons who absolutely loved it ! The whole experience was fabulous and the guide ,( I can’t remember his name sadly) was wonderful and made the experience even better, such good value . And we will definitely be going again!
Great experience. Make sure to take cash or card for buying things along the way. The tour guide was very friendly.
Booked this for my husbands birthday. Turned up and they had cancelled it as not enough people. They said they'd tried to phone me but was wrong number (checked booking and what right number) totally ruined our day as we'd waited all morning to go. Also spoilt my husbands birthday. Such bad service. Very disappointed
Great way to spend the afternoon. Riding off road in the truck was great fun and a cool way to see some of the countryside and villages and the real parts of Portugal. Getting to swim under the waterfall and in the springs was amazing! A great value for money day out!
My wife and I went on this Land Rover safari trip, there was 8 of us including our driver Johnny and we all had a really great time. Johnny took us to a working farm, where we were able to view a large variety of plants and animals, including a horse, goats, chickens, geese & even peacocks. Johnny also stopped in a charming little village called Alte, which was high up in the hillside.
Jeep tour was an interesting experience as driving in open jeep was fun. Stop at the farm was good but others were not great. Guide was ok full of himself kept talking about things that are irrelevant to the trip and not something we were interested in.
Excellent trip, really informative about the history of Algarve. Had a lovely time learning about the local agriculture from our driver.
Well worth it.
Thoroughly enjoyable! Johnny our guide was great, very knowledgeable & funny. The kids loved the trip to the farm. Would have liked prior notice about the 174 steps down to (and up from!) the waterfall. In the heat that day, that was quite hard going! Didn’t waste the day though, we all still really enjoyed it.
This is a great way to spend a few hours, you are taken to beautiful spots where you can enjoy seeing some farm animals, enjoy delicious pastries and finish off with a swim. The tour guide Johnny was fantastic and feeling the breeze in an open top Land Rover made it a lot more enjoyable.
We liked the detail and Information given, always asked if we needed anything, love Alta also going for a swim.
Our guide, Johnny, did a fantastic job showing us around and bringing us to some great locations that we never would have found on our own! Definitely recommend!
The tour guide Johnny was hilarious. He interacted really well with the group. He was helpful and friendly, I would highly recommend it to anyone.
I would highly reccomend this experience. Our driver had us laughing from start to finish.every part of the trip was amazing from the farm animals to the lovely swim under the waterfall up in the mountain to watching the sunset.best part of our holiday.will definitely be doing this again.
Amazing experience, highly recommend
Fun for all the family, Pedro our guide was well informed and funny
Spectacular scenery
The tour guide/driver is the funniest person ever! Very informative, funny, and an amazing driver. The countryside of Albufeira is so beautiful. My first time being a fan of a farm. Even bought their natural honey! Highly recommend it.
Although the rest of my group didn’t show up I ended up having a great time with my tour guide/driver. He was very talkative and friendly, showed me preety country side, historical village and a waterfall. At the end of the journey when heading back even took me to my preferred location( which was train station for me) so I wouldn’t have to worry about getting there on my own. Highly recommend, worth the time and money!
Brilliant experience with an exceptional tour guide! We had a great day exploring Portugal definitely something worth booking while in Albufeira
What a brilliant experience! Our tour guide was so amazing, explained and showed us so much! We all learnt a lot! He was brilliant!
Absolutely brilliant afternoon out. Driver was very knowledgeable and funny. Great sense of humour. Would highly recommend!
Had a lovely sunset trip (later afternoon 3.30 start ending with sunset). I originally booked the earlier trip but there weren't enough people going so I was offered the later version. Going later meant I skipped the swim I'd thought about trying in the waterfall pool as it was in the shade and the sun was already starting to go downwards.
But it was really nice to get inland to see a bit more of the area and Pedro was a great guide.
Highlights- seeing beautiful countryside, baby goats and having a quick paddle in the waterfall (think I'd have needed beach shoes or flip flops personally to get in further as the rocks at the edge were a bit hard on the feet).
Thankyou
This was an absolutely fantastic tour. Pedro is incredibly knowledgeable, and we really enjoyed learning about the history, it made the experience even more meaningful. We were picked up conveniently from Albufeira Bus Station, which made everything easy from the start.
One of my highlights was the ride to the mill, the views were absolutely spectacular! I enjoyed every moment of this tour. The trip to the farm was another standout, as we continued learning so much along the way.
Thank you so much, Pedro. I would definitely recommend this tour!
Jonny was brilliant for the whole trip, he was funny, informative and really friendly. Was great to see the real depths of the algarve and greenery, the farm was also brilliant with some tasty sauces, jams and honey!
It’s an amazing experience . The driver Adriano was very professional. The visit to the farm with the animals is quite unique as the farm sell local produce
Johnny was an exceptional tour guide , thank you for your patience with the kids and understanding..
Very good. Driver did the best possible considering the terrible weather conditions. Had fun on off road sections & saw as many sites as were available. Rain prevented access to some attractions. Good day out over all
It was really fun…. Off road you can stand and enjoy the sights. Fun organic farm… oldest Donkey in the area that barks on demand. Overall a nice trip
We were very lucky to book this Jeep Safari on the same day, and the whole process was incredibly easy and straightforward online. Our guide, Adrian, was in touch straight away. Pick-up was arranged from a hotel in Albufeira, which we reached easily and very cheaply by Uber from where we were staying.
The tour itself was excellent and very well paced. We made plenty of stops, and Adrian was sharing lots of interesting information and local insights. In just a half-day trip we managed to see and experience so much — including a local farm, the highest viewpoint in the area, a traditional village, a waterfall, orange groves and countryside landscapes, as well as Paderne Castle, one of the seven castles featured on the Portuguese flag. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. A really enjoyable and well-rounded experience — we would happily recommend this tour and are sure most people would be very pleased with it.
Excellent way to see the real Algarve. Professional driver. Easy to book. Great timekeeping. Wonderful
It's a fantastic trip worth visiting the oldest Village in Albufeira and the trip to Waterfall and organic food farm was very educational.
We as a group would definitely do it again when we visit Albufeira in the near future.
Hugo the driver was a brilliant host very friendly and very informative about the culture around the island.we had a goid laugh
