Super friendly and pleasant guide. He is very professional and knows the history inside and out.
Merci pour tout.
We had an excellent day in the company of our guide Antonio. Very professional and very friendly. We really learned a lot during this wonderful tour.
Merci pour tout, a la prochain.
We enjoyed a fabulous day trip with our expert guide, Nunu, who treated us to an extraordinary experience including incredible vistas, an authentic Portuguese lunch with beverages, and a wildly fun off-road trek through the mountains. The weather was beautiful which enhanced an already perfect day.
Really happy that you had enjoyed; so many thanks.
If you are looking for an experience of Portimao area and the mountain country surrounding it, that is different to the traditional bus tour, choose this. Nunu our guide took four of us in his jeep to fishing and mountain villages, with a fully guided tour. We had lunch at a little cafe in the mountains, saw incredible views, learned about the fishing culture and way of life on the coast. He is a wealth of information and curious little tidbits about this area. And very accommodating to our needs. Highly recommended.
So many thanks Really glad yoy had enjoyed.
Beautiful route where we could also get off the beaten road by the land rover. The info from our guide Nono could not have been better!
So many thanks
Full day, with a lot of adventures and sights packed in. We did some offlroading which was lots of fun. Antonio was a great host. Very personable and knowledgeable as well. Lunch was delicious. Saw places we wouldn't have visited on our own.
Really happy that you had enjoyed. So many thanks.
What an amazing day! We all highly recommend this tour to see so much of the Algarve. Mixed in with traditional Portuguese lunch including wine. Truly a great way to see the sights. Nuno was so knowledgeable and accommodating.
So many thanks.

Very happy you had enjoyed So many thanks
It was a great day with a well informed tour guide. We saw some beautiful sites. Our driver was awesome!
So many thanks for your review.
Antonio really gave us a amazing experience. We started the day with great weather. Not very sunny but great temperatures, nice wind but not cold at all. Later in the afternoon, after lunch, it actually started raining and the fog on the mountains to away any view. Antionio was able to give us some tips for is to go back to later this holiday, including the restaurant at praiha do molhe and the suspended bridge at barranco do demo that really got our eye. He was funny, very knowledgable and a great person to hang out with during our day out. His offroad experience really showed when he was pulling at the wheel whole we deove 80 km/h over narrow sandy roads flying through the corners. It was a great experience. I really would recommend you to choose this trip with him for a day. You won't regret a second of it. I promise you fun, laughter and new insights you never thought of before.
So many thanks really happy you had enjoyed.
