Tuk tuk tour and lunch in Tavira

Lori was our guide and driver on our Tuktuk tour of Tavira. She was a lot of fun with a lot of knowledge of the area. The tour ended with lunch and a refreshing cold drink. This was a really great way to see Tavira in a short period of time

A very enjoyable experience

We all thoroughly enjoyed our tour around Tavira and saw a lot more of the city then we would have otherwise. Our host was very informative and friendly. The wine and tapas were excellent and generous portions and we enjoyed the wine so much that we bought 2 more bottles to take away with us. Would fully recommend this

Excellent

This is the way to see Tavira highlights. The tour takes in a variety of landmarks. You are able to stop, if you choose to, to go into churches, city gardens and there are plenty of photo opportunities. Our tour ended with some lovely tapas and wine at Ti Maria restaurant. Our guide, Lawrie, was jovial and extremely knowledgeable which helped make the trip most enjoyable. We had one or two queries prior to booking the trip which were raised by email, all of which were answered quickly and fully. We would highly recommend this company for your tuk tuk trip.

Good tour of Tavira

We had a great tour around Tavira. Our tour guide was professional and knowledgeable. We then had a really good late lunch at Tia Maria. We thought this was good value and outstanding customer service when organising the trip.

How to discover the culture of Tavira

We are staying in Tavira and were picked up from our hotel. Our guide was fabulous in taking us through the history of this lovely city and showing us sites we would never of seen just walking around. The lunch after was at a restaurant where we were made to feel like special guests from the high quality food to the service. An all round superb trip!

Excellent fun tour with delicious tapas

Brilliant tour. You have 90mins in a tuktuk with extremely experienced guide learning all about Tavira, the history, the sights, salt pans, tuna fishing and so on. Our guide had a dry quirky sense of humour that was great fun. Then you end up at a wonderful tapas restaurant where there are loads of different tapas to try. Great day
