Great visit

In France, an oyster tasting is free. It is included in the price of the service. And in general, it is possible to buy the product when leaving. Needs improvement

Great way to understand Ria Formosa

João was a great guide, very informative, friendly and helpful; switching between languages continually, so that everyone got all the information. The boat trip was fun and it was a super way to explore the lagoon for the first time. Personally I would have liked longer at the first stop, as there was only just time to walk to the beach and back....but at least now we know what is where for next time.
