Algarve Halvdags Jeep Safari (PRIVAT TOUR)

Our tour guide was Caela Silva we did the tour of a pottery the local country side and a winery. our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour very interesting and amusing. The wine tasting and tour was also excellent as was the wine. I would recommend this tour and the guide. suitable for any ages.

It was a fabulous half a day out with them. Paulo Cabrita was very polite and professional. It was a day well spent away from touristy Albufeira, taking us right through the heart of countryside Algarve. Windmill tour, Paderne castle, Paderne village, springs of Alte, Alte town, Queda do Vigário waterfalls, tasting Medronho (firewater) and honey, learning about cork oak, Carobs, figs, almond and oranges and so much more. Cannot recommend enough! Thanks. Venkatesh Ramakrishnan (UK)

In August we had the pleasure of going on the half day private jeep tour in Albufeira. We were so lucky to have Carla Silva as our knowledgeable ,and fun guide. It started out with her picking us up at our hotel she drove an old Land Rover that comfortably fit the four of us and could probably fit more. Two of us in the very back and two I the back . It was not a luxurious ride it was an authentic safari feel to the ride. From the beginning Carla had this great energy, you knew she wanted us to have a great experience. She took us up into the mountains away from the beach area which many people might not even think to do that being in the Algarve but it was so unique, fun and were able to get a sense of the culture of that part of Portugal. We visited a hot spring where we had the option to swim. She took us to a bakery in which we sat and sampled delicious baked goods , we continued to explore the mountain town seeing a church and sampling other produce. The day went on driving the jeep right onto the olive fields, an old castle and finally an old working windmill. Carla had arranged for the windmill caretaker to tour us and explain how it all works. All along the drive Carla was giving us information but she did not just drone on with facts she asked us questions to engage us, ( we had our 22 and 25 year old sons) which it is not always easy to keep their attention - no one was looking at thier phones. They were too busy taking in the sights, trying to answer her questions, feeling the difference between the ripe and non ripe olives, scaling walls at the old castle or feeding ponies cacao pods from the car. We as a family have done many tours all over the world and this was one of our favorites. The day ended with Carla dropping us at one of her favorite restaurants for lunch - in which we enjoyed a delicious meal. If you find yourself in Albufeira Portugal take this tour and ask for Carla- It is quite the adventure.

We had an excellent trip, family of 8 so had a private tour with Carla. She was fabulous from start to finish from booking to pick up and the whole tour. She was insightful, knowledgeable, passionate and showed us the real Portugal areas we wouldn’t have found (or been able to drive) on our own. A great day for all ages.

Had a great time. Carla told and showed us the intriguing history of parts of the Algarve region. As well as introducing us to some traditional flavours of the algarve including carobs. Super friendly, humorous and engaging. Would definitely recommend.

We decided to book a private safari tour – and it turned out to be an amazing choice! Carla Silvia guided us through the day with professionalism, warmth, and a great sense of humor that made the experience truly memorable. We were a group of five – three kids and two adults – and the day’s pace was just perfect for us. The children were thrilled to have the chance to splash around in the water, and the charming little café we stopped at was the perfect touch. Best of all, it was wonderful to escape the beach crowds in Albufeira and enjoy the peace and beauty of the countryside. If we return to Portugal, we’ll definitely choose Zebra Safari again – and hopefully have Carla Silvia as our guide once more!

Super cool bumpyride with Gerard! Recommended for the family or with friends to see hidden gems and thus get to know the locals. Thanx Gerard we loved it!

Fantastic experience, fun interactive chauffeusse that showed us the most beautiful places around the Al Garve. An absolute must if you are in the area!

Tour was amazing. Jorge the tour guide was entertaining and knew a tremendous amount about the Algarve area. Highly recommend this tour for families or adult-only groups.

What a fabulous time with Elio and Victor-who were both very knowledgeable 😃 It was full of fun, entertaining and a very varied trip experience seeing many many different aspects of life and sites in the Algarve . We are a couple in our seventies and Elio and Victoria were so friendly , considerate and caring, treating us with great respect whilst giving us a great fun time that we won’t forget 😀
