Great tour of town and sea front. Perfect way to see the fish market and other point of interest. Joe was the perfect guide, helpful tuition for our newbies and looked after us at all times. Will visit again👍

Had an amazing time with our guide Jose who took us all around Vilamoura and Quarteira giving us lots of information! Was my mom’s first time on a Segway and he was so warming and helpful! Would highly recommend doing this if you’re in the area!

A wonderful way to see the coast

After confirming and sending a WhatsApp message, the tour operator did not show. We had to call and we're left with nothing to do. Very disappointing.
