Super Segway!
Fabulous Segway experience, expertly led by Jose. We managed to book a day before and the process was slick with good communication re: meeting point, etc. Great way to see a beautiful nature reserve, Jose had loads to share and did so in a fun way. Thoroughly recommend this activity. Great value…

Segway Tour from Faro.
Enjoy the scenery, birds and Jose’s knowledge and charismatic personality. Dress appropriately depending on weather - gets cool near the water this time of year (March).

Definitely worth it, highly recommend.
We had a brilliant time, our guide Jose was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable about the wildlife. We really enjoyed the tour and a bonus was the great photos and videos taken throughout by Jose included without charge, so we could just relax and make the most of the experience.

Excellent!
Joe was a fantastic guide, picked us up from our hotel, took us to the national park, gave us a quick lesson on the segeways then took us around the national park. We saw plenty of birds, turtles, footballers houses and Joe was very knowledgeable on the local areas and wildlife! Thanks Joe - I’d definitely recommend!!

Great.
It was great, we had a great time!

Even my 86-year old father had a blast!
We met Joey at the Ria Formosa parking lot where he taught our family how to ride the segways. He was so patient and calm. I was worried that my 86-year old father might have a bit of a learning curve but he caught on quickly: Joey was super attentive, making sure everyone was comfortable and safe riding the segways. He was a wealth of knowledge and we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. I would recommend this tour without hesitation!

An essential of Algarve
The activity is a top 10! If you do it in summer, better first thing or last minute, because of the heat. Nelson is a crack! But the experience with Viator very bad, I told them that I could only perform the activity in a specific morning slot, because we had to catch a plane and they really do not know the schedules of the Tour operator. Luckily, the operator, Nelson, arranged it for us, because otherwise we ran out of activity and having paid €406, because Viator forces you to pay without ensuring the chosen schedule (which is what happened to us).

Highly recommend
I travelled with my 12 year old twins. The entire experience was amazing and made so simple from - directions to the meeting point (by uber) - to the friendliness of our guide Joe - learning how to use a segway - the memorable tour Joe gave. Joe had a genuine interest in his customer.

Enjoyable & informative - tremendous fun!
Massive thank you to Nelson for an enjoyable and informative time around QDL and the reserve. Very professional and personal. Would definitely recommend. Graham & Sarah
