Great day out

Really enjoyed this trip Paulo/Pablo? Was very interesting and gave us a lot of interesting information about Portugal. We went to Lagos, Silvas and to the western most end of Europe which was very windy but had lovely cliffs. Would highly recommend Alsafari

Last minute cancel messed up our trip

We got a message at 9pm the night before that the trip was cancelled because not enough people signed up. They should have given us at least 24 hr. Notice (like we have to do for them) so we could make other plans. We then had to figure out what to do the day of which wasted the day and was too late to make reservations for other activities.

Beautiful one-day tour in the western Algarve

Excellent day trip to the historic west of the Algarve. The organization was perfect and everything went smoothly. Many thanks to Andre, our guide, for his professionalism and sympathy. His explanations were clear and very interesting, which allowed us to learn a lot about the region. I highly recommend this visit.

This was a ...

This was a disappointing tour! A lot of driving but not enough time for having a look around the sites and towns. A 90 minute lunch stop at a shabby roadside cafe added to the time management issues. The whole thing needs to be changed to maximise time. They should drop people in Lagos for at least 2 hours so that people could have lunch or choose to spend more time seeing the sites. There was not enough time to see the castle and have a good look around Silves. Too many miles covered to be able to properly enjoy each place

Great.

Johnny was great. Nice smiling and taking care of people. He makes the effort to speak in French even if he says he does not know. The excursion was top pity that he did not order the good weather 😉😁

A look historical Algarve and more.

We well informed by Jonny, who was both the guide and driver. He not only took us to several historic places but also provided interesting information regarding the Algarve. There was a stop for lunch, costing 22 Euros, which was well worth it. Thoroughly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour guide ( Johnny)

Excellent tour guide called Johnny. He was fun, chatty and made the tour very interesting. He took us to a restaurant for lunch and he was great but the lady who was in charge of our table of 12 of us sounded a bit rude. Not only to us. She was telling things to Johnny in a harsh way too. But the tour was great and we even met some very lovely people on the tour who kept in touch.

Superb trip. Amazing guide…

Absolutely amazing trip. And that was even without the sun shining! Not much we could do about that! The guide (Jonny) was absolutely superb. We saw a lot of places, but his insight was top drawer. Would highly recommend this trip to anyone.

Historic Algarve as a short trip

The driver told a lot about the culture, the history of Portugal and also nice episodes. Unfortunately, despite hearing aids, my husband did not understand everything because the driver spoke English very quickly and partly incomprehensible. At two destinations the time for sightseeing was too short. We would have liked to have used the tasting of alcohol differently, as would the lunch. Since we didn't want to eat, we were forced to sit down in the restaurant and drink coffee. Out of 8 guests, only two couples ate something. Some places, like Lagos we would like to visit again.
