Was a good day out.staff an leader very polite.very safety conscious.enjoyed getting out an about an seeing something away from the hustle and bustle of the strip
Nice experience but way too much driving and stops that aren't necessarily interesting.
This is a super trip. So well worth doing. The leaders are great fun and so safety conscious. Well worth the money. This was our second year doing the trip and can’t wait to come back next year.
A great trip with beautiful views of the Algarve and its landscapes. However, I would have appreciated more off-road driving, and some of the stops could have been more interesting
Absolutely loved every bit of it, the stop offs to the farm and castle and cafe were an amazing experience. The farm was ace, very quaint, loved having a go and driving. Would definitely recommend.
One adult driver had physical license, other adult driver had photograph of license. The guy at the desk asked if we had a photo of second drivers license, and when we found it you could tell the lady was not happy about him asking if we had a picture and he changed his tone and all of a sudden a picture was not good enough. Was offered to come back 5 hours later for half the tour we booked. Not friendly.
We had the best time, theres a range of terrains and 3 stops, the stops are only cafes/toilets Our guide was great too, easy to follow
Carlos was a fun and knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humour. Enjoyed all the stops was a fun few hours.
A well guided Buggy tour through the Algarve hinterland with many stops. Narrow paths with rocks, lots of puddles (because we had rain) and through the mountains. Buggy are nice carts to drive, also driven through the river. Maximum speed is around 60 km/h.
Friendly guide and staff and clear instructions. Fun route with challenging terrain, but without being too difficult!
