The tour operator did not show up🤦♀️
They allegedly didn’t get the information from. Viator ( even though they had amended our trip and sent all the documentation… I had it downloaded into my wallet with all the details)
Very disappointing as it was a lovely day missed… market only occurs on Sat.,
Next week is forecast for severe rain on Sat…
I’m unsure where the communication breaks down occurred but very Sad as our group of 4 was so looking forward to the day😢

What an amazing tour! The guide was so informative and made the tour interesting and was lots of fun to be able to see the market on a Saturday and see the chocolate festival!

The gypsy market was just ok, but something to see. Definitely, haggle the price. However, our tour guide, Johnny told us about the town market. Now, that is well worth the trip. The fresh fruit and vegetables were amazing. The markets with meat and cheese were amazing. 3 hours is just not enough for the markets and shops. I could have spent all day there.

Lovely chatty guide. Made the trip to and from loule a delight.
Good information along the way.
The gypsy market was a lot smaller than I've seen but was grand to wander around Loule.

Loved the colours of all the products. Musical entertainment in the street. We had a great driver, Johnny, who took very good care of all of us. Tour was long enough to see the gypsy and farmers market and had some time to explore.

Very out of season visiting so didn’t expect much, out tour guide dropped in some extras which made things interesting and we visited both the Gypsy market and the farmers markets held in two different parts of town.

Thank you for the review!

Belle promenade dans la ville de Loulé de façon autonome le guide nous sert que pour nous amener dans la ville
Marché avec peu d'intérêt puisqu'on quitte le lendemain mais si on avait été à ce marché le premier jour de notre arrivé nous aurions économiser car les fruits et légumes sont de meilleurs qualités et à bas prix
Pour le marché des gitans les prix sont très cher et un moindre intérêt
