全日ガイドツアー歴史ウェスタンアルガルヴェ・フィネスト

We really enjoyed our trip with our guide and driver Paulo. We were mixed group of Brits, a Brazilian from Australia and a French couple. Paulo could keep both hands on the wheel a bit more often and we did rattle about a bit, but he was actually a very good driver indeed. The narrow roads in the hills were stimulating. Cape St Vincent was spectacular but you do need trainers and a fleece! It was 18 degrees and really very, very windy. 10k away it was 32. Talking of clothing, people should know, but some don't, that to visit a Cathedral you have to cover up. No vests, bare arms or skimpy shorts. We saw people of various genders and nationalities sent packing (including one disgraceful chap who shouted abuse at the lady in the church. How horribly rude of him. My wife told him what she thought of his behaviour. We also found that for modest charges for entry to the Cathedral and Castle we needed cash. Staff at the castle were particularly unhappy to let us pay by card and the Cathedral refused. Our cash was in the minibus and Paulo had popped off!Understandable, our mistake. Lagos was an interesting bustling and cool place. 2 hours there. Loads of places to eat and the museum and the Golden Church were great. Shh not use what three words to get back to the pick up spot (or just get lost like one of our party did.). Communication with the company was very good and we easily arranged to be picked up near our villa in Olhos de Água just outside Albufeira. Yes, we did spend half the trip in the minibus, but LOOK OUT OF THE WINDOWS... there's loads to see, people to chat with and Paulo to be entertained by. SPOILER ALERT Bonus stops included Bonnie Tyler's long term home and a road named after Sue Barker's knighted friend. Dave and Sadie, Peterborough. (Just north of Cambridge, we tell people who ask)

The trip was excellent! Mario was very knowledgeable and ensured we all had the best time. Everything went smooth and on time. We had a great time, thank you! Tanya and Alec from the UK

Absolutely fabulous day, Benny very informative and is great with telling us all about the history. Would highly recommend to everyone.

The guide provided many explanations, was very cheerful, and stopped along the way to show us different wild plants.

This full-day tour was one of the highlights of my time in Portugal, made even more special by our wonderful guide, Mario. His knowledge, passion, and enthusiasm brought every destination to life and gave us a much deeper appreciation for the regions we visited. My personal highlights were the breathtaking views at Cape St. Vincent, the southwesternmost point of Europe, and the charming town of Lagos. I am so grateful for this experience and would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Portugal.

Brilliant day out from start to finish. The tour guide was friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic Trip was well-paced with the stops never feeling rushed or too long. The trip run time of 9am until 5pm felt perfect and ran right on time. The minibus was well air-conditioned so even in 30+ heat it never felt too hot. Would definitely recommend.

Good full day experience overall. Saw really cool sights and had a good time. Guide was great, Bennie is very knowledgeable and provides a lot of context, history and information along the journey. Good driver navigating narrow roads, clear communication and tried to really provide an upbeat energy and experience. Took us to some great extra scenic viewpoints. Would have been even better... It was a lot of information constantly which needs to be balanced with giving people a chance to have some time to relax, being able to listen to music without guide singing very loudly and constantly providing commentary. Sometimes people do like some time to take in sights on the drive in their own way and also sleep a bit so that needs to be respected a lot more as it was a bit overwhelming at times for the guide to constantly provide more and more information despite his enthusiasm for it. Also no mention that you had to pay to get into the castle which said was included in the itinerary.

A fantastic day out visiting Silves, Lagos and São Vicente — all beautiful places, each unique in their own way. Benny, our guide and excellent driver, made the trip even better. He was safe, extremely knowledgeable, informative, entertaining, enthusiastic and impressively multilingual. He can probably communicate with dolphins 🤣 He also threw in a couple of surprise stops with amazing vistas which really added to the experience. Highly recommend 👌

Very good tour guide! He really has a broad knowledge and conveys it very well.

The guide did not seem very interested, and moreover, the entries were marked as free, yet we paid 3 euros per person for the castle. In the end, we lost a precious day of vacation.
