What a great time going around the city and learning about the historical and cultural significance. The bonus was at the end when we had fabulous tapas.

We had a great tour around Tavira. Our tour guide was professional and knowledgeable. We then had a really good late lunch at Tia Maria. We thought this was good value and outstanding customer service when organising the trip.

Lori was wonderful - this is the perfect length of time to see Tavira. The food and wine at the end of the tour was absolutely incredible! Definitely would recommend
GILL_W, May 2025
Brilliant tour. You have 90mins in a tuktuk with extremely experienced guide learning all about Tavira, the history, the sights, salt pans, tuna fishing and so on. Our guide had a dry quirky sense of humour that was great fun. Then you end up at a wonderful tapas restaurant where there are loads of different tapas to try. Great day

It was great being driven around the city with a local person. We learnt a lot about the history of the place, the fishing industry and the salt production. Lunch at the end was great too!

Amazing tour of Tavira! Learned about the history and current happenings of the town. Our guide was very knowledgable and gave us lots of options for further excursions within Tavira. The tapas lunch was plentiful and DELICIOUS!! The restaurant was so cute and the food was amazing!

We had a fantastic time with our guide around Tavira, very informative and showed us areas we hadn't previously found. The tapas and drinks at the end of the tour were at Ti Maria and outstandingly delicious. We would recommend this tour.

Fantastic tour! The local food was unbelievable. Maria’s tuk tuk tour was awesome! So friendly and informative!

The tour we had was excellent. However it was not as described. We had expected a tour which focused on a tapas and wine experience of Tavira, but what we got was a tuk tuk tour of Tavira city. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and informative and did make our tour very interesting. The wine and tapas only appeared at the end of the tour when our guide left us at the tapas bar, Ti Maria, where we enjoyed a lovely selection of food. I would recommend Maria's Tuk Tuk for a city tour but perhaps check that you get what you look for.

The lunch at the end was amazing. We are really happy we did this.

Our guide was fun and knowledgeable. Great city tour of Tavira and outskirts of town. Pleasant guide. Once finished there a great tapas lunch with wine provided in a great little restaurant. Highly recommend if in Tavira. This was the surprise of our Algarve trip
