“This was such a fabulous day discovering a large area of the Algarve. Our guide, Thomas, could not have been more fun AND knowledgeable. He shared so many interesting details and facts about the entire area throughout our day. He kept us on track for time without making us feel we had to watch the clock and just let us be relaxed and happy. The route and stops are very well paced and give you a chance to sit and enjoy beverages, and your lunch, in picturesque locations. We learned so much and had time to take in the beauty of the Algarve. I could not recommend this excursion more.…”

Incredible roman aqueducts. The towns were a lot of fun and the stop at the store for fresh food and a taste of "firewater". Loved the windmill and learning about how it works and it being a community supporting the working of the windmill. Our driver, Carla, was full of life and Portugal. She also would put a New York cab driver to shame.”

Other than that, our guide was absolutly one of the best i have ever had on such safari tours. He has brought us to some amazing views and showed us a lot of useful informations about the algarve and it's history. I also defenitley recommend to book the tour with the dinner afterwards. The dinner is amazing for the price you pay for the whole tour. Thanks for an incredible expirience.”
