Full day, with a lot of adventures and sights packed in. We did some offlroading which was lots of fun. Antonio was a great host. Very personable and knowledgeable as well. Lunch was delicious. Saw places we wouldn't have visited on our own.

What an amazing day! We all highly recommend this tour to see so much of the Algarve. Mixed in with traditional Portuguese lunch including wine. Truly a great way to see the sights. Nuno was so knowledgeable and accommodating.

Antonio really gave us a amazing experience. We started the day with great weather. Not very sunny but great temperatures, nice wind but not cold at all. Later in the afternoon, after lunch, it actually started raining and the fog on the mountains to away any view.
Antionio was able to give us some tips for is to go back to later this holiday, including the restaurant at praiha do molhe and the suspended bridge at barranco do demo that really got our eye.
He was funny, very knowledgable and a great person to hang out with during our day out.
His offroad experience really showed when he was pulling at the wheel whole we deove 80 km/h over narrow sandy roads flying through the corners. It was a great experience.
I really would recommend you to choose this trip with him for a day. You won't regret a second of it. I promise you fun, laughter and new insights you never thought of before.

My husband and I went on this trip with four friends. We had a wonderful time. The captain and his mate were outstanding. They showed us many interesting things. We actually went in several of the caves. They were just gorgeous. And at the end, they had a really fun surprise for us. Everyone in the boat talked about it being the highlight of our two and a half week trip.

We have just returned from a wonderful full day private tour of the Algarve with Antonio (Frontera Off Road Tours). Antonio was very friendly and knowledgeable and he went above and beyond what we expected to make our trip very memorable. Thank you so much for a fabulous tour and we would thoroughly recommend Frontera Off Road Tours for an exciting day out! Thanks Antonio from Laura, Gabrielle and Kim (from Vange) 😊

Deeply skilled and knowledgeable guide, with a great attitude and absolutely packed agenda. We went from an awesome and absolutely authentic fishing village to start, all the way to the highest point in the region, all in a day.
There are some rough, but safe roads, including many twists and turns through tiny roads in ancient towns, so if you get car sick easily you should take your meds first.
The top of the mountain is windy, and cold enough that they sell sweaters, so pack an extra layer just in case.

Absolutely fantastic trip from start to finish. Our tour guide was Nunu and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide he was so knowledgeable and made the trip really memorable. I can’t falter Nunu at all, definitely recommend.

We was driven around by Artur who was a very skilled driver and knowledgeable tour guide. We were picked up from our hotel and driven around all the best sights along the coast. Artur was very funny in his tales and gave us a small insight into life in Portugal. We drove up into the mountains and had the best panaramic views. Lunch was included in the trip and we ate freshly cooked fish in a quaint restaurant. Later in the day we stopped at a cafe and had drink tasting & cakes. Very enjoyable, long day but was one of the best excursions we have ever done. Would definitely recommend.

Nunu was the best host! Very knowledgeable, great personality making the tour so much fun! He showed us places we never would have seen on our own, teaching us about Portugal & its history. This is a must-do tour of you want to get away from the touristy areas & get the real feel for the Algarve!! Thank you again!

Nuno was amazing. He waited for us when the cruise ship was delayed. The tour is informative and fun. You go in the Land Rover truck and see so much of the Algarve. The lunch was beyond amazing. Would highly recommend this tour. It was perfect

Cannot give this one 5 stars as it was not a private tour for us. Should indicate small group tour. It's all about representing the activity accurately. Tour operator didn't really ask us what our preference was or go over the itinerary prior to starting, but would have preferred less time by the coast and more time at the Castle in Silves. The vehicle in the picture was also not representative of the actual Jeep we were in. Price was reasonable given the amount of time of the tour.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
So sorry that you have that idea but privite tour mean that will be a very small group with the same language, or a complete familly or even from the same hotel. As you can realise we can not have a tour with only 1 or 2 people.
Regarding the car you told us that you husband was almost 2 metter that is why we send a Land Rover onstead of a Frontera car; bigger car.
The time spended on the castle is always the same for everyone.
We fell very sorry for that.

Algarve Private Tour with Typical Lunch is an absolute must. Believe me, you will be blown away. We were picked up at our hotel in Alvor by Nunu and like the title of the company, it is a Private Tour, so it was my wife and i and Nunu. We've been coming to the Algarve for many years now but the in-depth chats about the area and the stunning views were simply outstanding. If you think you know the Algarve, you don't.
From Alvor, we made our way along the coastline to Praia da Rocha and Ferragudo before moving up towards Silves and then onto Monchique and Mount Foia to view the stunning views over the Algarve. There is so much I won't mention because that's the fascination of the tour. Lunch was included and later a taste and sip of local delights. We couldn't believe the price of the tour. 8 hours later, we were dropped back off at our hotel and so so disappointed to say goodbye to Nunu, a man who we met earlier in the day but we both thought we have known for a lifetime.
Cheers to a great company

From pick up at our hotel to drop off this trip was amazing. As was Nunu, our driver and guide. He was so friendly, knowledgeable and a great host for the day. The trip took us to places and sites we would not have seen. All fully explained with local and historic facts. Wonderful coffee stop, lunch and afternoon local traditional meats, cakes and several shots of flavoured Modrondho (local spirit). I highly recommend this company and trip.

This tour was so much fun! Our guide Nunu (may not be right spelling) was wonderful, we had a fabulous lunch, and we went off-road to the gorgeous coast, where it would be impossible for big coaches to navigate. Nunu was so patient and solicitous with our group of five seniors. Many thanks for a great day!
Response from Host, May 2024
So many thanks for everything.

Nuno Antunes was our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the Algarve area in and around Portimão. He was a pleasure to tour with. He was the ultimate tour guide sharing his experience of Portugal and made our trip fantastic. I would recommend him without hesitation. Obrigado Nuno!

Beautiful route where we could also get off the beaten road by the land rover. The info from our guide Nono could not have been better!
