Eastern Algarve tour

Susan_T, Apr 2026

Our trip to the Eastern Algarve was a wonderful and interesting tour. Our driver, Johnie was amazing at explaining everything and pointing out different things to see on our tour.

Enjoyable!

Christine_P, Feb 2026

Great guide..Johnny! We had a perfect weather day. Each place we went to you are outside for the most part unless you go into the shops. Tavira was our favourite. Olhao was a close second! Lots to see. Great to see different places as we will go back to Tavira to spend more time. Seeing 4 places in one day only gives you about an hour each stop. Highly recommend it though as each place has its own charm.

Johnny be good

The driver Johnny very intresting and entertaining at the same time. Would of prefered 2 hours in Faro and less time at St ? I know thats were you stop to eat but not a lot else to see apart from Spain across the water.

A great day

The old town of Faro and the amazing storks nests in the Chimneys and church. Great guide ! gave so much information

A great day

Linda_D, Feb 2023

We saw several new towns and learned some history for each. A good overview of Eastern Algarve and now we know which ones we want to go back and see in more detail. We had an excellent lunch also. Our driver, Johnny, told us interesting stories about each town. A very enjoyable day!

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Thank you for travelling with us!

Awesome tour guide and tour

Todd_E, Jan 2023

Great tour. Guide Johnny the skinny twin was very good. (His twin brother also good on the Jeep Safari tour). Was an excellent tour, both entertaining and education. While on the tour I managed to sneak across into Spain on the ferry. That was the best part, that and Tavera.
