Great experience!
Our travel guide Benny was wonderful! He is very knowledgeable about Portuguese history and culture and provided helpful insights into our various destinations. His recommendation for local points of interest and food were greatly appreciated. Our lunch was delicious, we never would have discovered the restaurant without his knowledge.

Great provider, but this trip was cancelled
Unfortunately our trip was cancelled due to low number of bookings. We were offered another date the following day, but we couldn’t do it as it was the day before we went back home and we wanted to keep it free. We were offered a full refund. Prior to this trip cancellation, we had 2 other trips with the same company which all were a 5*! So, overall a good experience despite this cancellation.

Excellent day exploring the East!
Picked up promptly from my hotel by our guide Benny. Set off for Faro. On the way Benny gave us a very in depth history lesson. Benny is super friendly and professional and extremely knowledgeable. At each of the stops Benny gave us a quick overview of the place then we were left to our own devices to explore or go for a coffee. We had approximately 1 Hour per place with the exception of Tavira where we had two hours to explore and have lunch. For me having been on many tours in the past being left to explore was perfect. There were only 4 of us on the tour and unfortunately one of the other guests became ill after we left Faro. I have to say that Benny was fantastic, understanding and sympathetic and stopped several times. All in all a fantastic tour and great day out. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting to explore more of the Algarve.

Nice day, fine ending.
Mario was a fun and engaging guide, although he sometimes seemed more interested in current real estate trends than the culture or history of the Algarve. We were extremely grateful for his completely altering his return route to drop us back at the door of our hotel in Estoi, rather than the starting point in Albufeira.
