    Great experience for motorsports fans, friendly staff, 3 short stops, full 3 hours of driving, would certainly recommend. Really nice and polite guide.

    Dust dust dust, and poor facilities.

    Peter_N, Jul 2025
    It’s good fun, but the facilities where you collect the buggies is in desperate need of work. One filthy toilet, and one half empty vending machine. Take something to keep the dust out of your face, you seriously need it! They will sell you a bandana for €5, but this barely does anything. Be aware that the amount of dust cannot be overstated!

    Response from Host, Aug 2025

    Thank you for contacting us. It's important for us to clarify that our facility is designed for an authentic, adventure-focused off-road experience and does not fall into the category of a 5-star hotel. We appreciate your feedback regarding the facilities. Our priority is safety and fun on the trail. However, we take your comment seriously and will be assessing the condition of the restroom to ensure increased cleaning and maintenance. General cleaning of the facility is carried out every two hours, during breaks between groups, to ensure the best possible environment for all participants. Regarding dust, it is truly an unavoidable characteristic of our off-road activity. We appreciate your suggestion regarding face protection and will consider ways to improve the options available to our guests. We hope that, despite the points mentioned, your adventure was exciting and that you return for more adrenaline

    Scam.

    Sandy_D, May 2025
    Total scam, very boring tour. Stopped at a castle ruin and a cafe. No great sights like advertised. Vehicle we were given was not fit to be on road. Run by con men. Avoid this company.

    Very enjoyable...

    Michael_B, Apr 2025
    Very enjoyable experience,worth doing,guides very helpful,on public and off road experience,would do it again

    Nice country side ride

    Mike_R, Apr 2025
    Good ride with nice stops. Good for a liesurely ride and this is not a trip where one can go fast or let it "rip" around a track. I would highly recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting muddy or dusty as it is almost certain you will get. The staff is also freindly.

    Good

    Rimvydas_L, Dec 2024
    Good guide, good story about places, good trak with offroads and good speed, just need try for everybody

    Highly recommend (with a bandana)

    Selin_S, Sep 2024
    We did the 3 hour tour in the morning. It was a lot of fun and buggy was easy to drive. Make sure you arrive a little bit early for the briefing and if you follow their directions everything goes perfect. Shout out to our tour guides Max and Filipe! They were very helpful and attentive the whole trip (and they speak fluent English which is always a bonus). I highly recommend getting the bandana. We expected dust but we didn’t expect it to be this dusty. We are still trying to clean off everything :)

    Great tour

    francois_d, Aug 2024
    very friendly guide, buggys are working well, great sceneries and landscape. Glad we did the tour , good value for money

    Great fun

    Stephen_J, Aug 2024
    Really good and fun trip with a couple of nice stops. Going through the dirt tracks and roads were great and I would recommend this trip.

    Scam trick

    OvidiuAndrei_M, Aug 2024
    I booked a trip of 3.5 hours which I paid for €108. On the trip day they called me and said that cannot to do 3.5 hours but they can do 2 hours and they mention that they will refund me the difference cost. I have contacted the customer services at Viator to find out when the refund will be received as there is nothing in writing stating that and they confirmed me that a refund was issued for the amount of 27€. I find this being a scam as the time for the tour was dropped almost to half so they should refund more. Looking at the reviews, it is not the first time when they do this. The tour let’s say that was a lovely experience and the two people escorting us was knowing their job reason why I faced 3 stars. Sales department and customer services are not good at all.

    Response from Host, Aug 2024

    Recommended trip for likes off roading

    We couldn’t do the 3,5 hour tour which we initially booked, but we did the 2 hour tour instead. The price difference was paid back instantly. The tour operators and guides are very friendly and helpful. We had a great experience and surely will take the longer tour on another day

    Great time had by all

    Mark_W, Mar 2024
    Great time even though weather not on our side (wet) guide was brilliant and showed us some great off the beaten track places

    Really fun 3.5 hours

    Stuart_R, Mar 2024
    Great time with a really nice guy as our guide. The buggy was as advertised and great fun, pretty nippy too!. I was wary of fitting in it as I'm 6'6 but I managed to squeeze in ok. Highly recommended 👌

    Best fun ever!

    Antolene_W, Mar 2024
    It was the friendly and professional assistants that made the whole experience memorable- especially Rui who was our tour guide - really had a wonderful time and recommend this buggy tour to anyone who enjoys having fun!

    Great fun!

    Sarah_F, Nov 2023
    Did this as a group of 6 and we had so much fun!!!! There are 3 stops along the way with a chance to get a drink and snack. The tour operators were helpful and friendly, couldn’t fault it! Thanks for a great day out!

    Fun trip

    James_B, Oct 2023
    Did this with a stag group and we had a great time on the buggy tour. Thought 3.5 was going to be too long but time flew by! Shame not to be able to raz them around but still went quite fast at point.

    We had a fantastic time and would do it all again

    Dave_M, Sep 2023
    Fantastic experience great fun and the guides were great they great fun and very informative about everything the cars were great the whole day was a great experience

    Must do activity

    Adam_A, Jun 2023
    Great experience we all loved it. 7 of us done it part of my stag do. The tour guide speaks excellent English his name is Rui. They take you around and explain about the traditions and landmarks. Great going over the bumps and sand. Get to go a decent speed if the group are confident driver's. Would definitely do it again

    Adriano was fantastic. A great day out for my partners birthday whilst in Albuferia. We’ll worth the money

    Thank you for coming!

    Experience mega, booking disaster

    Michele_S, Sep 2025
    The experience was absolutely impressive – we had a lot of fun! It was quite violent in places and a bit dangerous in between, but that's what made it so exciting. Truly an unforgettable experience. Important to know: Bandanas must be purchased locally for an additional 5 €, they are not included in the price. But: We had booked firmly for a time and planned everything around it. A few hours earlier, it was suddenly said that the tour could not take place because too few participants were registered. We should come later or another day – without refund or discount. Very unprofessional, therefore 2 star deduction.

    Sonia_A, Aug 2023
    L'arrêt au café n'était pas le meilleur arrêt... Pour avoir fait le quad il y a 3 ans, il y avait un arrêt dans une piscine naturelle, ce qui était magnifique... Cette année en buggy, arrêt juste dans un café de ville... Déçue par rapport à il y a 3 ans...

    Diversão garantida

    RenataLopesCorreia, Aug 2023
    Muito divertido e uma fantástica maneira de conhecer a zona rural e serrana da região de Albufeira e Paderne.

    Top buggytocht, aanrader.

    Jan_G, Aug 2023
    Top middag gehad. Hebben de 3,5 uur buggy tour gedaan en echt een aanrader. Hadden leuke gids. De opstart was wat rommelig en we moesten langer wachten voordat we weg konden gaan omdat andere groep nog niet terug was. Maar eenmaal op weg werd alles goedgemaakt. We gingen de binnenlanden in en hebben onderweg 3 stops gemaakt waar de gids een hoop uitleg gaf. Kortom meer dan zijn geld waard.

    A faire sans hésitation

    Benoit_H, Jul 2023
    Excursion au top, 3h30 minimum d’activité. Les guides sont très compétents Service très complet Circuit génial

    "Sensaciones de montaña "

    MARIALIDENCHU_D, Apr 2023
    Todo el recorrido tiene su encanto.. pero lo mejor sin duda es la bajada escarpada por varios montículos de 90⁰, ......es una sensación de " me tiro y q sea lo que Dios quiera.. jejeje" es genial!!

    aucun intérêt! argent jeté par la fenêtre

    herve_b, Feb 2023
    accueil dans une casse automobile, juste un casque bien sale,pas d autre équipement donc prevoir des vêtement sales et des lunettes. tour à 15km heure de moyenne, aucune sensation .plus de temps sur la route que dans les chemins. la visite du château consiste à en faire le tour à pied histoire de gagner du temps sur le tour. bref à fuir!!!!.seul point positif histoire d en trouver un, équipé d encadrement sympa.

Vous exagérez sur la lenteur, mais oui, il s'agit d'une visite touristique au rythme lent, comme indiqué dans la description de la visite. Nous espérons que vous pourrez trouver des activités plus adaptées à votre style à l'avenir.
