Jeep Safari #1 in Algarve
Description
Jeep Safari #1 in the Algarve If it’s fun, excitement and adventure you’re looking for…. then look no further! Let us take you off the beaten track… but straight into the heart of the Algarve! Traveling in a convoy of jeeps we go up hills and down dales, crossing streams and traversing meadows. Enjoy the spectacular scenery of an area almost untouched by time. Our journey will take us along winding earthen tracks to some of the most fascinating places in the Algarve. In tiny white-washed villages where time seems to stand still you can see some of the old customs still in practice. We will visit a small local distillery where the brave can taste “medronho” – a very potent local drink – and where you can see honey being produced in the old way. Lunch served in a typical restaurant.

This was such a unique experience and a great way to experience the Algarve region! What stood out most was our tour guide, Ricardo. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and we felt completely safe in the 4x4 with him. You could tell he really cares about his country and takes pride in sharing it with others like us. He also gave us some fantastic recommendations for the rest of our time in Portugal. Overall, he was the highlight of the experience for us! Thank you Ricardo!
Great tour! Very fun off road parts but also some hard roads so you weren't all shaken up. The distillery was very fun to see, it looks like a shack but its a very small farmer doing it. Jorge our guide was great fun and really added the 5th star, would recommend!
We were with friends and 2 children aged 10 and 11. We had a great day. Ricardo is a really good tour guide with clear information, also to the children. It is clear that he is really proud of his country and that he also conveys. Especially for the children an extra round off road. We did the private tour and that is definitely recommended.
We had an excellent half day Jeep Safari excursion with the best driver, Michael (Mick Schumacher). He was funny, entertaining and knowledgable and shared lots of information with us making this a real treat. We learnt all about how the Cork Oak tree is harvested and what all the numbers on trees mean along with excellent descriptions of how the local schnapps and honey is made up in the town of Monchique. We will definitely do another tour next year and request we do one again with Michael. Thanks again from the Knight family.
Hello phil_Cherrie08 Thank you so much, Knight family, for this fantastic review! 😊💙 We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable half-day Jeep Safari with Michael. It’s wonderful to know that his humour, knowledge and entertaining personality made the experience so special. 🌿 We’ll be looking forward to welcoming the Knight family back for another Algarve adventure. ☀️ Best regards, Portitours
Michael was a fantastic guide who kept our whole family entertained all day. His knowledge is incredible and told us so many facts about the algarve. We went to the distillery and tested some honey which was amazing! Michael even saved us from a cricket in the back of the jeep! Crisis averted according to my 9 year old. Would definitely recommend this tour and Michael as a guide. Was well worth the money spent and the food at the restaurant was lovely. Crowd size was 6 which was great and they were a lovely dad and daughter. The atmosphere was relaxed all day long.

Experience was absolutely incredible on the jeep safari. Seeing the silves and monchique mountains. I travelled on my own due to my partner being unwell. However, I would not fault the Experience and Ricardo the tour guide was excellent. Explanation was fabulous and had a great sense of humour and a lot of laughs. Would highly recommend to anyone Megan

JORGE! Our driver and leader of the expedition was exceptional. Informative, funny and a blast to be with. The drive was bumpy and beautiful. The stop for honey and fire water was a good touch. The raceway was fun as well, thanks for that stop! Would highly recommend the tour and Jorge!

The terrific tour guided by Ricardo. Very informative, engaging and amusing. He really showed off the culture and terrain of the local mountains. His humour and love of all things Portuguese was infectious. A great break from the usual holiday scene. Interesting flaura & fauna, very good local food. The highlight of our week in the Algarve.
