Had a great time learning all about the local area as well as exploring the more inland countryside. Our guide was very knowledgeable and everyone on board seemed to be having a great time. Would like to come back to explore again, perhaps in a different season. The pastel de nata is a must try whilst here! Lunch was plentiful and also plenty to drink- sangria, water or orange.
If the countryside and experiencing the local traditions is your thing, I would definitely recommend this tour.

We ended up getting a private tour - what a treat! Thomas was very knowledgeable about all the plants of the area and showed us lots of hidden gems. Learned lots about the history of the area, Cork, animals, etc.

Lots of little stops to talk about flora and fauna, great country side, little bit of rough terrain which is fun, so much knowledge from our guide Thomas, he made it fun, great view stop offs. Great tasting at the distillery and lunch was eaten (chicken chips and salad, soup starter and fruit salad for dessert. ) lovely to see all the wonderful landscape with the vast agricultural produce. Really enjoyed Thomas's very knowledgeable chit chat, and the level of humour . Only downside really was the diesel fumes from the jeep when the curtains were down, which it was for most of our day because we did get a fair amount of rain, after a full day it gets a bit much.

We booked a full-day jeep safari trip. Transfer from the hotel is included. We waited for 1 hour in the morning, there is no car. We called support, they told us that the car broke down (they didn't tell us anything until we called them). The trip was postponed to the next day, at 8:45. In the morning we waited again, after 20 minutes they started calling. We were told that the car has left, wait. At 9:30 we called the support again, they said again that the car was on the way, ok... At 10:15 we called again!!!!! We were offered to change to another excursion... seriously? 2 days of already spoiled vacation. And also take a risk on the third day? A very frivolous company

A trip to remote places that we would not have been able to visit without a jeep and a guide. The guide was exceptional and trilingual (Portuguese, English and French). He taught us a great deal about the flora, local history and customs. It will remain an unforgettable day marked by stops at picturesque locations.

This was such a fabulous day discovering a large area of the Algarve. Our guide, Thomas, could not have been more fun AND knowledgeable. He shared so many interesting details and facts about the entire area throughout our day. He kept us on track for time without making us feel we had to watch the clock and just let us be relaxed and happy. The route and stops are very well paced and give you a chance to sit and enjoy beverages, and your lunch, in picturesque locations. We learned so much and had time to take in the beauty of the Algarve. I could not recommend this excursion more. Thanks to the tour provider for a wonderfully planned day and thanks to Thomas for a fun-filled, informed day out in this magical country.

Brilliant day out with a very knowledgeable driver, there wasn't one question asked her couldnt answer.
He had a very good sense of humour too.
Our lunch was delicious

The full day jeep tour was absolutely amazing. Our tour guide George was fantastic, knowledgeable, and a lot of fun. This was a great way to see the parts of Algarve that your normally wouldn’t venture to. We learned about the history of the region, tasted amazing food, and got to see the beautiful hidden parts of Algarve. This is a must do on any trip to Algarve!

I wasn't sure what to expect from this tour but it had everything! Im not going to spoil the fun but to say its one for the best things I've ever done! A real must if your staying in the Algarve. Kids enjoyed it too which is a massive thumbs up!!

Thomas was our tour guide and he was brilliant. He was very knowledgeable and shared many facts with great enthusiasm which was welcoming.
Daniel_P, Jul 2025
If you want to experience the true Algarve countryside away from the tourist hotspots, this is the activity for you.
Douglas_R, May 2025
Our driver/guide was very good. He knew how to get around in all the interesting, out of the way and tight spaces. He had good knowledge of the many local farmed produce such as oranges, etc., pointing out as we were driving and often stopped by the side of the road to pick various herbs for us to touch and smell. All in all we would recommend this tour.
Maria_C, May 2025
A must do experience, our guide was amazing and very knowledgeable, we loved everything from the Firewater to the waterfall, couldn’t have asked for a better day.
Monisola_A, May 2025
Absolutely amazing experience! The Full Day Jeep Safari in the Algarve was the highlight of our trip.

Highly recommend!

Mario was knowledgeable, entertaining and helped with some cute photo ops. Knows the roads! Lunch was also very nice. Appreciate the pick up at our VRBO.
Samantha_N, Apr 2025
It was a fabulous experience. Our driver Thomas was excellent and he was quite experienced and knowledgeable. Really good driver took us in areas never expected to explore and kept us entertained with throughout our day. Had a nice coffee break along the way. Stopped at various areas to smell various herb and visit to Castle/Distillery was on point Gave a detailed history along the trip from where Portugal was to now
and its development. Had other nationalities on board and made us felt as one group.
Food was delightful and company facilitated pick up and drop off at hotel at an additional cost but was well worth the journey.. No regrets will definitely recommend.

Sitting in the back area can be challenging.
We saw great valleys and old fortification and had a very good lunch.
Louise_M, Feb 2025
Fantastic trip with a knowledgeable, friendly host who also has a good dash of humour. It was great to see some of Portugal's beautiful countryside and to hear some of the history of the local area and also the changes that have happened over the years to the traditional way of life.

Chris_S, Jan 2025
Good driver and guide. Interesting day with some rough terrain and dirt tracks. Very good lunch in a nice restaurant.
Ryan_M, Dec 2024
Our driver Hugo was a fantastic guy, very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. Such a funny guy too, it was a pleasure to spend a few hours in his company. The little farm that the company run is amazing, home made spirits are divine.
All in all a brilliant day, thank you!
John_M, Oct 2024
The full day tour was fantastic. We really did get up into the hills, twisting in and out of the dirt tracks between villages in the open topped jeep. Lunch was tasty and the small villages we visited were authentic and unspoiled by the mass tourism of Albufeira. There certainly was a different pace of life in the hills. Our guide was enthusiastic and very knowledgeable about the local area and it's culture. (Although he needs to be a bit more diplomatic and sensitive, especially with sensitive topics of discussion).
Overall a great day out for all the family. And a great way to see the authentic Portugal. Would do it again.
Amie_S, Oct 2024
Thomas! He was our guide on our tour in 2022! So knowledgeable and passionate about his country!
We went to so slightly different places this time which was lovely… the lunch spot this time was incredible and we actually intend to have a couple of nights there on our next trip!
