The scenery is beautiful and worth the long ride. The service of the driver is professional. He showed on time and for every segment of the journey. He also shared lots of stories and introduced life and economy of Portugal. The boat ride was bumpy on the water but safe, fun and the scenery is incredible. All people involved are experienced and all excellent. Definitely recommend.

This tour consisted of 80% of our day sitting in a van driving to and from the destination. At our first destination it was so crowded that there was no place to park. After driving around the area several times we finally just asked our driver to take us to the next place. At that time, we were dropped off at a ticket booth where we were told we had to pay an additional 30 Euros/pp for a boat ride that we hadn’t signed up for. We asked our driver to just allow us to have lunch in the town as we were not going on the boat. We were then taken to see the cliffs, which were beautiful. Finally we were driven through a beach town to admire I guess the traffic and the people. We spent most of our day in the van and did not see what was listed on the itinerary. This trip did not live up to our expectations at all and was quite disappointing.

Hello Lori,
Yes, it is true that this month of August is the month in which the Algarve is busiest, which is why there is more traffic in the places, but the driver fulfilled the program that was on the tour.
Thank you for leaving your review, as it helps us to improve the service.

This was a wonderful trip! The sights in Lagos were the best! It was a long day traveling from Lisbon but we really wanted to see the Algarve region.
Our guide, George, was good. He recommended a wonderful family place for lunch that had the best selection of fresh fish! Would go again in a heartbeat!

Our guide was Mr.George. We had a great time going to Algarve, car ride with a one year old had its challenges but it was still a great trip .
We enjoyed it so much that we asked to book a return trip back to Lisbon with George as well. He was accommodating and picked us up from the hotel at the time we requested. Even though the ride back was a straight drive and not a tour , George honored our request to see a place we wanted and also allowed us to try a brunch spot. On the way back baby was very fussy and George made a stop for us to take care of the baby.
Over all I would book with them again if we ever come back! Thank you guys for everything!

Our (Group of 6 People) Algarve and Lagos Tour with your guide Phillip on 12/27/2022 was really excellent. Phillip did make every effort to make our trip very enjoyable and covered as much as sites as was possible during the 8 hours period. In fact he did accommodate our request to help us picking up some lost documents from police station. I would recommend this service to our friends and family in future as well.

Our trip to Portimao and Lagos from Lisbon was very good. Our driver was time. The drive was long but the beautiful views along the way made up for it. First option was a boat ride. We want to see the caves. Later we found out they threw in an extra viewing the dolphins. Our rode in a dinghy/boat (several people) far out from the shore to see some dolphins. Luckily they were there, welcomed us and put up a show. It was so delightful to see so many of them frolicking around, in front, behind, at the side of our boat. We saw two types of dolphins. First the smaller ones, then at another location, the bigger ones. The weather was so good/ sunny and balmy. Took lots of videos of dolphins in their natural habitat. From there we went to see the caves of Algarve. Beautiful caves. Then we had lunch (in your own) at one of the good restos on a beach. There we tasted the best grilled sea bream and sea bass. From there drove to Lagos. Our driver took us to see the best view points of Lagos. It was very beautiful but it was also getting dark. So our photos were not as beautiful as expected even with the use of iPhone 14 ProMax. My only suggestion for improvement would be to do the view points of Lagos first as it doesn’t take a long time. I had seen photos of Lagos when it’s sunny and bright and wished I had the same.

Thank you very much for your comments. I'm glad that you have enjoied so much our tour. About your fotos in Lagos, the problem was that we did our tour in December, and in that month the days are much shorter and starts getting darker around 5 pm. But i'll take your advice and try to go to Lagos a little bit sooner. Our main goal is to provide you the best tour we can, so we will take your advice and try to make it better in the future. Thank you very much once again, and hope to see you soon again in Portugal. Best regards.
Thank you so much for your support!!!

A personal drive of 2 and 30 minutes to Algrave to see a spectacular coastline by boat riddled with caves. Then traveling to the most southwestern point of not only Portugal, but the whole European continent. Great views and worth the price.

We had limited time in Lisbon but we really wanted to go to Algarve. Therefore I booked a day trip to Algarve. Our driver and tour guide George made our long day trip very special and unforgettable.He was very kind , patient , professional and understanding. After a long and smooth drive , we arrived at Algarve. He arranged a boat trip for us . Boat trip exploring different caves was phenomenal and fascinating. George then arranged us to eat at a nice Portuguese restaurant looking at the beautiful sandy beach and enormous blue sea . We went to the beach after lunch as the seaside was too tempting . George was so accommodating to our added schedule. He waited for us very patiently. Then he took us to see striking caves in the sea from land at Lagos . Then he drove us all the way to Farol do Cabo de Sao Vicente . The view there was just so spectacular. We couldn’t have enjoyed all these fantastic experiences without George. It was a very long day but it was so worth it . We were delighted that we did the incredible trip to Algarve.Go for the trip , you will not regret!

We had such a great day on this tour! First thing to note was how much we appreciated the flexibility that the company gave us with our drop off. This was our last day in Lisbon and without hesitation the company agreed to pick us up at our hotel ad have us dropped off at Lisbon airport in time to catch our flight. The tour itself was wonderful!!! The algarve coast is EVERYTHING it looks like in the pictures. Luis our tour guide gave us the option to see the coast from a boat (at our own expense) and I cannot say this loud enough, TAKE THE BOAT RIDE. After the AMAZING boat ride Luis made it his personal mission to find a great Piri Piri restaurant for lunch. My wife and I had been hearing about it but couldn't find a place in Lisbon. Much to our delight we found an amazing place and had one of the best meals of our entire 10 day trip. Lisbon and Sagres were wonderful too!! The whole day was a fantastic way to spend our last day in Portugal. Thanks so much to Luis for an unforgettable day!!!
