John was amazing! Best tour!

John was fantastic! He made the experience. Full of local knowledge and funny! Lovely experiences throughout the day exploring the waterfall, river and samples of the local produce at their local farm. The lunch included was massive so I would advise don’t have a big breakfast! Would highly recommend this tour!!

Unforgettable experience!

What an amazing activity! Everything was super, super, super good from start to finish. Everything was very well organized, and honestly, we have no negative comments at all. Our guide Fred truly made the experience even better. You could immediately tell how passionate he is about what he does and about Portugal. Thanks to his enthusiasm, knowledge, and stories, the activity became even more enjoyable. He showed us beautiful places in Portugal that we would never have discovered otherwise, and that can only be reached by jeep or experienced through this type of safari tour. The day had the perfect balance between fun activities, interesting facts, and stories about Portugal shared by Fred, while also giving us time to relax and enjoy some free time. We highly recommend this experience to anyone who wants to discover Portugal in a unique way. Thank you, Fred, for making this an unforgettable experience!

All in all it was a experience well worth taking

Well, we started out a little concerned, and it was a rollercoaster ride from there out, but in the end we were happy with the experience. 😁 We had read reviews about the vehicles with the view blocked by the top and were concerned when our vehicle pulled up and it was one of them. It was a tight fit putting nine people in the old 4x4 but we made new friends fast with the other couple in the back section. Once we got off the main road we were able to stand up and look over the roof, so the view got better, but hanging on though the bumpy roads became a real workout! The driver was fun about it referring to the "massage" 😂. We got used to it and it did become somewhat enjoyable. The safari was a nice view of the hills and rural villages, and their people were friendly and charming. The waterfall, rivers, mountain views, and small village sites were all nothing that would make headlines, but were charming and refreshing insight into the less touristic real people and villages of Algarve. Our driver, I didn't catch his name unfortunately, was very professional, informative, helpful, and made the whole adventure much more fun. He knew a lot about the areas and even led another vehicle's customers through some of the sites providing history and insights about the area. The lunch included tasty sangria and plenty of delicious food and a light dessert. The view from the restaurant patio was over the valley and the weather was perfect for the day tour. The liquor tour was informative and the drinks were tasty. The honeys and jams available also were yummy and we bought some to take home to share. All in all it was well worth the cost and effort and we are happy we took the tour. Be aware: it is a VERY bumpy ride, accessing the rear seats of the vehicle requires some dexterity and ducking, if you don't like heights or steep drops at the roads edge you may be a little anxious on a few points of the journey, however the landscape was impressive, the people were lovely, and our guide/driver was incredibly accommodating and knowledgeable. We are so glad to have been lucky enough to have him!

Fantastic Fred!

Fred was our guide, he was amazing - funny, proud of his country and full of knowledge about the area and Portugal. The history and explanation about cork and all of the land and crops was incredible! All the stops were fantastic, the view from the mountain top (Pico Alto) was nothing short of phenomenal, you can see everything! The Firewater tasting was awesome 😉 As well as the honey and jams! Bring water shoes for the waterfall as the rocks are slippery, also it is very refreshing (chilly) and is a beautiful spot. Thank you Fred for a fantastic day! This tour is well worth the money!
