Johnny’s Tour of the Western Algarve.

Arnold_N, Oct 2024
Our tour was of the western Algarve with Johnny’s Tour. It was an excellent tour. Johnny was a great guide, very knowledgeable about the geography and cultural history of the Algarve. Johnny took us to places most tours do not travel, such as back streets of Salema and Burgau. We highly recommend Johnny’s Tour of the Western Algarve.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Mr Arnold, wow, Thank you so very much for your words. Comments like yours make me continue with even more pleasure as Johnny´s Tours and my Algarve are a passion to me. Thank you for choosing me as your tour guide. I hope to see you on your next stay in Portugal ( Algarve ). Greetings from the Algarve Johnny

The Algarve doesn’t disappoint!

We spent an amazing day with Johnny touring the Western Algarve region. Johnny was fantastic, his knowledge and love for his home region is clearly evident. He always had great ideas and knew places to visit that weren’t just your typical tourist locations., but he made sure we got to see those as well. He even knew the spots to stand and was happy to take pics that we will cherish forever. Thanks Johnny!

Perfect Day, Perfect Guide!

We spent the day seeing some of the most beautiful sights in the world with Johnny. He was passionate about the Algarve and shared so much knowledge with us. He was thoughtful in picking the perfect spots and it was so nice to have someone to take photos of the whole group. We would book a family adventure with Johnny again in a heartbeat! One of our favorite days in the Algarve.

The best guide in the Algarve!

Eddy_F, Jan 2024
Johnny’s tour was an amazing experience. John (Joao) is a sophisticated yet down to earth experienced guide that ensures that every single moment of the tour is unforgettable. We have travelled worldwide, have done many private tours but John goes beyond all expectations in a warm generous manner to ensure that you leave the Algarve with memories that will remain with you forever. Thank you Joao! E & C

Johnny our tour guide was...

Johnny our tour guide was wonderful. You could not ask for a more fun and educational experience. The tour gave us a fantastic overview of the area seeing things and places most other tours would just pass by. We would highly recommend this tour and mostly being sure Johnny is with you. We have found a new friend!!!

Great Tour of the Algarve

Jeff_G, Apr 2023
We had a fantastic tour of the Algarve with Johnnys Tours. It is indeed a private tour - it was just me and my husband. Since we only had 1 full day in the Algarve, Johnny made sure that we saw the highlights. He also took pics of the sites we saw and sent them to us the next day. I highly recommend this tour! You will also be supporting small business when you book this tour.

Amazing, Magical Experience

Muskan_A, Mar 2023
I booked Johnny and had the absolute best time in Algarve! He made sure to communicate, based the tour on our preferences, and showed us how beautiful Algarve is. We visited the most beautiful areas, where he was more than happy to capture our amazing Instagram content for my friend and me. Furthermore, unlike other guides, he gave us the option to choose our day and showed us the best restaurants in the area, simply more than we expected, before dropping us off to enjoy Albuferia (an added bonus!). We had such a splendid, magical day we got a tattoo to remember it. Would recommend doing the added boat tour.

Western Algarve from many vantage points

Tracy_R, Jul 2022
We had a great tour with Johnny through the Western Algarve. We are so happy he recommended doing the boat trip in Lagos - it was a great start to the tour. We loved the trip to the local market and a walk through the town of Lagos. We had a delicious lunch at Fernanda's - delicious sardines and fish stew. We got to see the 'end of the world' at Cape Sagres which was spectacular. And we saw a secret beach in Portugal that we would have never found on our own - we just wish we had more time there but there is just too much to see Portugal! We would definitely reach out to Johnny again for another tour!

amazing tour

AnaGaviria, Mar 2022
It was private, informative and full of amazing details about the places we visited, Johnny gave us more than enough time to visit and take pictures and enjoy the different places.
