Terrible experience
Very poor communication before the trip. First they requested that I change the day of the tour which I was unable to do. Then they rang and cancelled the tour only to ring me back a few hours later to say the trip was back on the day requested but arrive 1 hour earlier. On the day of tour arrived at 9am and eventually left at 10.15am. Managed to drive for around 40 mins before the buggy broke down and tour was cancelled and we then had to wait 90mins to be picked up. Offered only 50% refund at first which I refused and did get my full refund. If you want to enjoy your buggy experience use another provider.

Great family day out
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.

Buggy sightseeing
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

Does not work with you
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.
