Booked this for my husbands birthday. Turned up and they had cancelled it as not enough people. They said they'd tried to phone me but was wrong number (checked booking and what right number) totally ruined our day as we'd waited all morning to go. Also spoilt my husbands birthday. Such bad service. Very disappointed
Great way to spend the afternoon. Riding off road in the truck was great fun and a cool way to see some of the countryside and villages and the real parts of Portugal. Getting to swim under the waterfall and in the springs was amazing! A great value for money day out!
My wife and I went on this Land Rover safari trip, there was 8 of us including our driver Johnny and we all had a really great time. Johnny took us to a working farm, where we were able to view a large variety of plants and animals, including a horse, goats, chickens, geese & even peacocks. Johnny also stopped in a charming little village called Alte, which was high up in the hillside.
We had originally booked for a morning tour but we were the only booking so they asked us to move to another tour. So instead we enjoyed a beautiful sunset, excellent guide, very informative and great knowledge of the history of the area. Great fun, I would highly recommend
The activity itself was really great. However, the end of the excursion completely ruined the experience. We returned about 10 minutes late after the free time because we had not checked the time. I can understand that it was annoying for the guide, but his reaction was totally disproportionate. On the way back, his driving became abrupt, which made us very uncomfortable, and then he did not just make a remark: he started yelling at us. I have never been treated like that by a professional. It was very shocking and intimidating. It is a real shame, because the activity was very good. But the guide's behavior is unacceptable and does not make me want to recommend this excursion. I felt very uncomfortable. Nothing justifies a professional speaking to their clients in this way.
Jeep tour was an interesting experience as driving in open jeep was fun. Stop at the farm was good but others were not great. Guide was ok full of himself kept talking about things that are irrelevant to the trip and not something we were interested in.
Excellent trip, really informative about the history of Algarve. Had a lovely time learning about the local agriculture from our driver. Well worth it.
Thoroughly enjoyable! Johnny our guide was great, very knowledgeable & funny. The kids loved the trip to the farm. Would have liked prior notice about the 174 steps down to (and up from!) the waterfall. In the heat that day, that was quite hard going! Didn’t waste the day though, we all still really enjoyed it.
This is a great way to spend a few hours, you are taken to beautiful spots where you can enjoy seeing some farm animals, enjoy delicious pastries and finish off with a swim. The tour guide Johnny was fantastic and feeling the breeze in an open top Land Rover made it a lot more enjoyable.
We liked the detail and Information given, always asked if we needed anything, love Alta also going for a swim.
