Unfortunately our trip was cancelled due to low number of bookings. We were offered another date the following day, but we couldn’t do it as it was the day before we went back home and we wanted to keep it free. We were offered a full refund. Prior to this trip cancellation, we had 2 other trips with the same company which all were a 5*! So, overall a good experience despite this cancellation.
Picked up promptly from my hotel by our guide Benny. Set off for Faro. On the way Benny gave us a very in depth history lesson. Benny is super friendly and professional and extremely knowledgeable. At each of the stops Benny gave us a quick overview of the place then we were left to our own devices to explore or go for a coffee. We had approximately 1 Hour per place with the exception of Tavira where we had two hours to explore and have lunch. For me having been on many tours in the past being left to explore was perfect. There were only 4 of us on the tour and unfortunately one of the other guests became ill after we left Faro. I have to say that Benny was fantastic, understanding and sympathetic and stopped several times. All in all a fantastic tour and great day out. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore more of the Algarve.
Mario was a fun and engaging guide, although he sometimes seemed more interested in current real estate trends than the culture or history of the Algarve. We were extremely grateful for his completely altering his return route to drop us back at the door of our hotel in Estoi, rather than the starting point in Albufeira.
Highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide Mario, was awesome, he had so much knowledge & passion for the Algarve area & gave great advise on where to eat, what to buy etc & adjusted schedule according to the wants of our group. We loved Ohlao & Tavira, such amazing historical towns!
This tour was exceptional! Especially Loved Olhao & Tavira! Mario our tour guide is super knowledgeable about everything!
A lot of history..very educational. Tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made our day enjoyable!
Very nice visit to Faro, Olha, Tavira, salinas de Grelhas, and Cacela Vêla. Mario's a good guide. Only downside, the tour was almost all the time in English with little translation into French while we had selected a French guide at the base. This is probably due to the fact that we were two French out of a group of 7 people (Canadians). Our approximate English did not allow us to understand everything. Apart from that, we had a great time. Thank you.
It is a long day of travelling between sites, but gives you a good look at the different towns in the Eastern Algarve. Paulo, our guide, did a great job!
They are very professional and the tour was very brilliant. The driver was very knowledgeable and friendly. Loved every bit of it. Recommend them to any one who wants to enjoy the Algarves
Andre was wonderful, very knowledgeable about the area. We enjoyed this tour very much. Very accommodating with pickup and drop off.
