Description

Enjoy an exclusive backcountry experience between the wild hills and the Algarve countryside. Admire the cultures of oranges, centuries-old olive trees and majestic carob trees that will decorate you throughout this getaway. Discover with 2 local guides authentic white villages and unsuspected beauties that only the locals know. You can cool off in the natural spring pool or the beautiful waterfall (depending on the season) if you wish. You will visit an Algarvian hamlet where time seems to have stopped before you are guided through the paths that wind through the cork oaks. Finally, share a moment of sharing with Florian and Morgan near an old windmill while contemplating a magnificent 360° panorama of the mountains. Change of scenery guaranteed!

Visit the Algarve to fall under its spell

Superb time discovering the Algarve region with the Urbains Sauvages. We booked 2 outings and we would have done more if the opportunity had arisen. Florian and Morgan are incredibly kind, with total simplicity and kindness. Discovering these charming places completely won us over (no spoilers!). We will definitely get back in touch if we return to the region. Thank you for these moments Mandy, Anna and Dimitri

A must-see discovery of the Algarve with great guides

During our stay in Albufeira between sisters, we were fortunate to discover the Algarve with Les Urbains Sauvages, and it was undoubtedly one of the best moments of our vacation! Morgan and Florian are two passionate, warm, and very professional French-speaking guides. Thanks to their knowledge of the region, we discovered beautiful places, away from the usual tourist circuits, while enjoying fascinating explanations and a friendly atmosphere. Private excursions allow you to visit at your own pace, without stress and in excellent conditions. We particularly appreciated their availability, their advice, and their love for the Algarve, which they share with enthusiasm. A must-visit address for all French speakers who wish to discover the Algarve differently. We recommend it wholeheartedly! Thank you again to Morgan and Florian for this superb experience.

Perfect!

We had an excellent day with Florian and Morgan, who showed us the coast without stress. The excursion was perfectly organized and enjoyable, the landscapes were beautiful. I recommend this agency wholeheartedly for their kindness and professionalism. The attention given to our comfort and the smoothness of the visit allowed us to experience this in the best conditions. Thank you again, Florian and Morgan, for your impeccable service; we will return.

EXCELLENT 💚

One should always travel like this! Florian and Morgan: attentive guides who love to show you their beloved region with simplicity: nature, iconic sites via "detour paths," charming, intimate villages away from the tourist crowds. Surprises, comfort, discussions on all topics, attention, and true professionalism that is delightful. Two great guys whom I hope will continue like this for a long time, with other projects and beautiful plantings under the Portuguese sun. A BIG THANK YOU to both of you.

Beautiful escape filled with surprises

We had an extraordinary experience with our guides in a very peaceful corner of the region. Florian and Morgan are very attentive and they adapted the tour to our needs. My spouse likes photography very much and he could stop the vehicle wherever he wanted to capture landscapes. What sets Florian and Morgan apart from other guides is their desire to communicate their love of the region and to take us to places that go beyond traditional tourist tours. This was our fourth and final excursion with Florian and Morgan and we will keep the lasting memory of an aperitif with them by the river!

Escape in the hinterland + Lagos, Sagres and the West Coast

Departure and return to the Adriana Beach Hotel on time: all happiness! During our stay in the Algarve in April 2026, we had the chance to live two unforgettable excursions with Florian and Morgan, "Les Urbains Sauvages", two exceptional French guides. We would like to thank them again warmly for their kindness, kindness, delicacy, as well as for the quality of the exchanges, always simple and authentic, which already make us want to come back. They made us discover the hinterland as well as Lagos, Sagres and the west coast, leaving us with landscapes full of head. Do not hesitate a second, you will be delighted! Another huge thank you to them, Hélène, Sylvain and Thibaut.
