Great experience, guide, and the perfect length of time! We enjoyed seeing parts of the Algarve we wouldn’t have known to visit. We enjoyed visiting the farm, and both swimming locations. Thankful to stop in two villages and were able to enjoy an espresso and pastel de nata in both. Would recommend this tour!

This Jeep Safari was one of the highlights of our time in the Algarve and was absolutely worth the time and money.
Not only do you get to visit a variety of beautiful and interesting places, but you learn so much about the region, its history, culture, and local traditions along the way. The scenery in the Algarve Mountains is stunning, and the off-road portions added a fun sense of adventure without being too strenuous.
Our guide was amazing—knowledgeable, friendly, entertaining, and clearly passionate about sharing the Algarve with visitors. He made the day enjoyable from start to finish and helped turn a great tour into a memorable experience.

Trip was beautiful and it was fun to stand up while you rode to see 360 degrees! Jeep was a little rough on the back and you have to hold on when it is bumpy/curvy but that was not a problem for us.
Graham_B, May 2026
We saw areas where we would never have known about. Guide was brilliant and informative. A brilliant experience all round.

What a really amazing trip. Our tour guide was completely amazing, so much knowledge and was really enjoyable listening to him, from the minute we met him to the minute he dropped up back.
I would recommend them.

A great morning out for us.

We had a lovely morning with victor our tour guide, he was very informative and told us what it takes to grow the trees, such as a cork tree and what plants are used for, he showed us how he used to catch lizards with what I would say I blade of grass, the farm was just lovely, the waterfalls and villages are beutiful, wish id booked a longer tour.
Big thank you Victor who made it a wonderful experience

Our tour guide, George, provided a good view into the life of small villages in Portugal. He did a great job showing us the beautiful countryside.

It was an excellent morning out, our guide was very good explaining about the different areas we visited. Would highly recommend that people go on this trip.
Natasha_J, Oct 2025
Just an ok excursion. We were under the impression this was different then what we had. Mind you the driver was great, friendly, talkative and showed us what he knew best. But from what we read and everything we just had a different impression of what we booked
Lana_N, Oct 2025
Lovely genuine people who know absolutely everything about this beautiful area 😁 visited so many interesting places and had a thrill standing holding on for life in the jeep on the back roads! Me and my partner would 100% recommend thank you so much! 😊
Zeljko_K, Sep 2025
The guide is ok, but everything else is not, you haven't been to the waterfall and a lot of what is in the pictures is from previous visitors. nothing special, the vehicle was in a terrible condition , the pictures show new white vehicles

Nice to get away from the beach. Alte was beautiful small village. Paderne church was interesting.
Guide was informative. Farm was good, bought some products.
Samantha_N, Aug 2025
Paulo was a great guide! Very funny, very knowledgeable and very good driver! We learned about the history, countryside, agriculture, and got to swim in the man-made “river”. Very fun tour! Be prepared to get dusty!
Faye_J, Aug 2025
A great experience, lots of local information, beautiful sights and stops, delicious local cafe, lovely organic farm to explore with samples to try and buy. The jeep ride was a fun way to explore the countryside and villages.

We had a fantastic time on this trip as a family of 4 with an 11 year old and 14 year old. Our guide was passionate and knowledgeable. The stops were perfect and it was the perfect amount of time. Thank you so much!
Bernadette_C, Jul 2025
Wear old clothes and plenty of sun cream. It was a brilliant trip and our driver Jorge was excellent. He was very knowledgeable on the area.

Two of the stops on the advertised tour were skipped. We were late leaving because of other travellers who were not at their pick up point on time. We didn’t get to see the waterfall, which was one of the things my daughter was most looking forward to. There was no narration while we drove, just a very uncomfortable, fast drive where we were hit by branches constantly and flung around corners. When we did get some of the “tour guide” talking to us it was about trees and seed pods which wasn’t exactly what we had hoped for. We stopped off at a herb farm that the tour operators obviously have a deal with as they tried to flog us their goods and were terribly rude when I asked if there was a bathroom when I hadn’t bought any of their products. There wasn’t. There was actually only one toilet on the whole 4 hour bumpy journey. It was a hot day and we were hydrating but there was nowhere to stop. This tour felt like being shuttled from one place to another haphazardly with no care for the participants’ experience.

This was a great trip, Paulo our guide was good fun and very knowlegable, highly recommend it. We tried some portuguese hooch too!
Lexi_F, Jul 2025
I’d recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. Our guides name was Alberto and we loved him! Super friendly, super funny and was very knowledgeable! We got to see some hidden gems. Our guide was also super respectful of the land, he picked up any trash he found along the way… really just shows how much he loves the area.
Lisa_S, Jul 2025
Excellent experience! Traveled from United States to Lisbon and then had a few days in algarve. Beautiful and fun way to experience the culture, food and nature! Our tour guide was funny, an excellent photographer and shared a lot of local/ historical knowledge to us. Highly recommend, worth the time and money spent. Memories forever cherished!
Rachael_H, Jul 2025
Paolo was an amazing guide. He gave a lot of info about locally grown fruit, herbs and trees, breaking down leaves to show the scent, etc. it was an added layer that we didn’t expect.
The stops on the tour were good with things to do and see and a lot of good photo opportunities.
Lorraine_B, Jul 2025
We didnt know we would be sharing with another couple, but they were lovely. We had great fun and definitely recommend. The tour guide was very funny.
Brenda_A, Jun 2025
It is a fun excursion into the mountains. The best part was visiting an organic farm, seeing and feeding farm animals. The only downside, this is not good for travelers with knee problems. The jeep step was steep and visiting the water source, there were 174 steps down to the waterfall then up! Plus I feel rushed. Guide has another tour scheduled. So I felt rushed from place to place
David_B, Jun 2025
