Actually a waste of money: a driver u guide... a waste of money ... the few explanations of the guide were not worth the money!!!

We regret that the tour did not meet your expectations, but we believe the service was delivered as described.
This was beautiful experience, but not a great choice if you have mobility issues or are afraid of heights. It was a great time to enjoy excellent scenery.
This was totally king exit. The start goes to the guide and the cave before you get driven to a very cozy city and get some alone time there. After that there are a little more caves. Then home. Be careful and be clear.
The staff was very friendly, our guide was Andres, he was also very knowledgeable. We travelled by shuttle vans. We could only see the cave from the top. The three sites were quite beautiful nevertheless the experience felt a bit over priced. No lunch provided, we spent 45£ per ticket. We were back at at 3:00 pm.
Thank you very much for your review. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful sites and that our guide Andrés made your experience pleasant. We’d like to kindly clarify a few details: 30% of the tour price goes to the booking platform and 23% to government taxes, which affects the final ticket cost. Lunch is not included in this experience, as clearly stated on the platform description. The tour duration is approximately 5 hours and is scheduled to end around 3:00 p.m., as indicated in the itinerary. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope you enjoyed discovering the area with us.
Was booked as a gift for me. Couldn't have made us happier, as it turned out to be the highlight of our short trip to Faro.
Sinatra was exactly how I dreamed Portugal to be. The sights were beyond beautiful! This was our last day to have an excursion and, how i wish I'd known about this town sooner! Andre, our guide, was so knowledgeable and was such a gentleman to all the ladies that he would make his mama proud! It was great to see what Portugal was at one point in time. I pray the country can keep it's heritage alive. Thank you, Andre, for a great experience.
A little expensive service for the proposed excursion. It's not very clear where to start. The explanations are in approximate English
1) minibus driver reached speeds of 150km/h on motorway, too fast n minor roads!!! Not spoken to by tour guide who was in front seat, reckless and dangerous. 2) paths to caves were very dangerous. Often safety ropes are non existent or broken. Tour guide walked ahead offering no support to those on the tour. A clearer description NEEDS to be put in tour description before a serious accident happens. 3) the tour guide offered little input of interest. He walked ahead offering the group and often left people to walk alone along very dangerous paths. He showed very little thought to members safety. 4) I wrote directly to the tour operator the morning after the tour but three days later I have not had a reply.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your concerns and would like to address them directly. Regarding the speed issue, we take this matter very seriously and have already taken the necessary steps to ensure it does not happen again. The safety of our guests is always our priority. As for the walking paths to the caves, please note that these are public natural areas managed by the Portuguese authorities, and their condition is not under our control. We always remind guests that the trails can be uneven and rocky. This is also clearly explained in the tour description, which specifies that the experience is not recommended for people with reduced mobility or walking difficulties. Concerning the guide walking ahead, it is standard practice for the guide to lead the way in order to show the correct route. We understand that your wife had mobility challenges, but unfortunately the terrain is not suitable for all visitors, as mentioned in the tour details. The guide cannot provide individual physical assistance on such paths. Finally, regarding your email, we do receive a high number of messages daily, and while we do our best to reply as quickly as possible, sometimes it may take a little longer. We apologize if this caused you frustration. We truly value your comments, and we are committed to continuously improving our service.
There is no need to take a provider to do this walk we spent 100 e to do two hours of mini bus when we can go there
Consider this tour just as a transportation to the sites. Do not expect a guide will make this tour more interesting. While views and the Marinha beach were amazing, the Benagil cave was a dissappointment. Without a possibility of seeing it from inside, it loses a lot of its attraction. Tour description promised a nice Portugese playlists to be played on our way back. In fact, it was portugese speaking on the radio all the way forth and back. As a bottomline, we were happy for seeing nice places, but felt somewhat cheated about the rest of what was primised.
